School Council Speaker Series: Staying Healthy, Naturally

Thursday April 24, 7-8:30pm

AVPS Library

Speaker: Dr. Vivienne Guy

Do you worry about your child getting ill? Does your child seem to catch everything that is going around? Join Dr. Vivienne Guy, Naturopathic Doctor in a clear and concise discussion where we will talk about common childhood infections, how they present (stuffiness, headache, rashes) and how we can manage them through natural means. We will discuss the immune system, all its parts and what it looks like when those parts are in action. For example: fever. What does it do and why?

We will also focus on how to give our children the best fighting chance with immune boosting measures throughout childhood; measures that will reduce the amount of sickness that occurs; and measures that will enhance the body’s capacity to function effectively.

Dr. Vivienne Guy has many years of experience helping families navigate the signs and symptoms that the immune system puts out as it deals with allergies, viruses and bacteria. She helps parents understand what’s going on and with that, there is less fear of the unknown.

Please contact Laura Lee at pippishirley@hotmail.com to let us know you’re coming so we can plan for numbers.

Spring Fair 2014 — We Need Your Help!

The AVPS Spring Fair planning and preparation is well underway as we quickly move toward the BIG DAY (Saturday, May 3rd!)

As you’ve seen in our flyers, this event is completely run by volunteers and WE NEED YOUR HELP! If you can spare some time, items or baking and would like to be part of making this Spring Fair a success, please let us know by sending in your Volunteer/Donation sheet from your flyer. There are many things you can donate from now, right up until the fair, but for planning purposes we would love to know if you can volunteer at the fair, or provide a silent auction item or baking for some of our popular events. You may have noted the return date on the flyer is Friday, Apr. 4th. That’s today! But if Apr. 4th has snuck up on you, that’s okay! You can still let us know by sending in your form (extras available on our website: www.altavistacouncil.com under the Spring Fair tab) or by contacting Petra at 613.523-9198 or petra.alince@gmail.com.
