Many thanks! -Mark Currie, manager - Pioneer Truck and Trailer Service Ltd. Delivery Driver - #50 Salmon Arm Hello, I just wanted to reach out regarding one of your drivers from your Salmon Arm location. Today at approximately 0940hrs, she was driving her company vehicle Eastbound on the Trans Canada Highway near the intersection of Hwy 1 and Balmoral Road, Blind Bay. She was one of the only drivers to slow down, move over, and drive safely around my crew, myself and my fire apparatus at a collision. (She even gave a wave while passing by). There were several other drivers who sped past us at highway speed or above, one even lost traction approaching us and fish tailed towards us. Thank you for employing a driver as courteous and professional as her; thank you for helping me get home alive. - Your neighbourhood firefighter. Brianna McCarthy - #112 Calgary Brianna was absolutely amazing, very knowledgeable on where all the products I was looking for were and gave advise on which would be better. Helped me find everything I needed for my partners car. Ask for Brianna next time you’re here. -Asher Johnston Daniel Johnson - #21 Richmond I went to Lordco on Sweden Way in Richmond looking for bolts for a steel bed frame. Dan was very helpful in showing me where the product was and what size would work best for securing the bed frame. The store is extremely organized and clean and the staff are very helpful. -Betty Swedberg

HEALTH & WELLNESS CORNER
FEBRUARY AWARENESS
Congenital Heart Disease Awareness February 7th to 14th is Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) Awareness Week! Congenital heart disease currently affects 1 in 400 people, which means this has a huge impact on the health of Canadians. CHD Awareness Week is all about learning, listening, working together, and supporting those living with the disease.
What is Congenital Heart Disease? Those affected by congenital heart disease are born with defects in the heart’s structure. There may be structural issues in the arteries, valves, or chambers of the heart, which may change the way blood flows through the heart. Some types of congenital heart disease may be mild, but others can be life threatening, so it is important to watch for symptoms, such as irregular heart rhythms (arrythmias), blue skin, lips, or fingernails, shortness of breath, and chest pain. This disease can affect both children and adults, so if you or someone you know is experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to talk to a doctor. Testing and Treatment Tests to diagnose congenital heart disease in both adults and children include electrocardiograms, chest x-rays, echocardiograms, and many others. Getting tested is the first step to improving the health of many Canadians living with the disease. Next is treatment, which may include medications, procedures, or just general care. General care includes physical activity, which can have both physical and emotional benefits for those living with congenital heart disease. Many Canadians with congenital heart disease are encouraged to complete light to moderate exercise. A good measure for moderate exercise is to increase heart rate and breathe heavily, but still be able to hold a conversation. Examples of good exercises to achieve this include brisk walking, swimming, and many more. What Can You Do? To support those living with congenital heart disease, this month, let’s try to compile some tips for light to moderate exercises that can be done by people with CHD. Add your tips to the Get Your Heart Rate Up community on Lordco’s new wellness platform to join in and raise awareness. How to Learn More To learn more about congenital heart disease, find resources for support, and learn how to help, head to the Canadian Congenital Heart Alliance website at https://www.cchaforlife.org/.
