Each of us must be proactive and look after ourselves. Either that or become victims of the health-care system full of endless referrals, lineups, hospital stays and prescriptions like we have no other life and as if the public purse is bottomless. ?

The H1N1 flu pandemic scare is an excellent example of the need for each person to be proactive about their own personal health care. Each of us needs to make sure that we make our own personal fitness a priority so that when illness, injury, emergency or in this case a pandemic strikes, our bodies are equipped and prepared to fight.

Parents and students should be hounding educational leaders including school trustees, administrators and the ministry of education officials in this regard.
