The cold is settling in and will soon take hold of the city.

The temperature outside is no reason to hibernate. The change of season offers an opportunity to try new activities and revisit ones that were put on hold over the warmer months. Staying active throughout the year is essential to your overall health and a great way to spend time with family and friends.

November is a great time to finish up the chores in and around your home in preparation for the upcoming winter season. We've included some tips to help get you started.

November is CPR Awareness Month, a life saving skill that we strongly believe in, click here for courses near you. November is also Diabetes Awareness Month, click here for more details.

Is it time for a cleaning or to have your dental work completed?
If your dental benefits are based on the calendar year, your maximums will probably not roll over into the new year. If you don't use them they will go to waste.

Remember to be extra careful on the roads and have a safe and healthy month,

If a tooth has been damaged or decayed to an extent where a filling will not suffice, a Crown (also called a Cap) is often needed to restore the tooth’s shape, strength and structural function.

A Crown or Cap, as its name suggests, is a covering that is placed over the affected tooth. The tooth is prepared by removing any decayed area and shaping the tooth to be capped.

The Cap is then cemented in place to protect the tooth for years to come. Crowns are also used to reinforce a tooth that has been badly cracked or broken, as well as to seal a tooth after root canal therapy.

There is still much to be done to prepare for the winter months ahead. Here are some reminders to keep you on top of things:

If you haven't done so already, remember to rake the leaves, weed, feed and aerate the lawn one last time before the snow comes. If your pet 'uses the yard', it is a good time to clean up after them (you'll be glad you did when the snow melts in the spring).

If you have trees that overhang your roof, remember to clean out the gutters. Turn off the water to the outdoor faucets, empty your hoses, roll them up and store them properly (this will save you from needing a new one next year).

If you have a humidifier, make sure it still works and clean the filter. Change the filter in your furnace and make sure the heating system in your residence is working (the first cold snap is no time for a surprise).

The next warm afternoon that you spend at home you may want to open your windows for a while, especially the ones in the basement if you live in a house.

If you can't remember when you changed the batteries in your smoke detector, DO IT TODAY!

There are also several websites that offer tips specific for preparing apartments, condos, cottages etc. for each season. A little work now can go a long way as well as offer activities that the whole family can participate in. Remember to stretch before performing any activity, yard work included.

Now get out there and enjoy the rest of the season!
