Health Unit encourages more well water testing.
The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit is working to encourage well water testing. Another new site has been added this week for people to pick up sampling bottles and drop off well water samples for delivery to the Public Health Laboratories in Kingston and Ottawa.
Free well water testing is a program offered by Public Health Ontario and facilitated by the local Health Unit. With the help of partners such as Mississippi Mills Township, Lanark Highlands Township, Country Roads Community Health Centre and The Office – office supplies in Perth and now Lanark Living Realty, the Health Unit has been able to offer more sites for bottle pick up and sample drop off.

National Non-Smoking Week acknowledges
breaking up is hard to do.
Health Unit sweetens the deal for local quitters.
January 15 marks the start of National Non-Smoking Week in Canada and the 2012 theme is “Breaking up is hard to do.” While kicking a tobacco addiction is not easy, Leeds, Grenville
and Lanark residents can gain some extra motivation with the seventh annual Driven to Quit
Challenge, which is open until February 29.
Tobacco addiction resembles a dependent relationship according to the Canadian Council for
Tobacco Control, which has been hosting National Non-Smoking Week for more than three
decades. They are encouraging Canadians to kiss tobacco goodbye this week.
