Southeast Public Health (SEPH) is reminding all residents to take precautions to prevent the spread of respiratory illness, including influenza (flu), COVID-19 and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) as we approach colder months when the rates of respiratory illnesses and demand on our health-care system increases. Infection can cause mild to severe illness and can lead to serious health complications, even in healthy children and adults.

The Southeast Public Health (SEPH) Board of Health met October 28 in Kingston for their regular monthly meeting. The agenda package is available online.

Home Hospice North Lanark (HHNL) is pleased to announce the launch of its 2026/2027 Annual Tree Fundraiser, offering community members an opportunity to purchase a living tree while supporting free hospice programs for individuals and families in our community.

Whether honouring a loved one, celebrating a milestone, or giving a meaningful gift that continues to grow, purchasing a tree is a wonderful way to make a lasting contribution.
