Special thanks to Linda Mentzel, Wendy Wood and Paul Grant who volunteered their time and expertise to provide a photo shoot for some special ladies at Lanark Lodge.
The photos were done just in time for Mother's Day as a special surprise for the ladies and their families! Here are just a few of the photos that were taken.

Don’t wait for the water!
Flooding is the most common natural disaster in Canada and can happen at any time of year. A changing climate means your risk of home flooding is rising.
You can take the following measures to help keep you safe and minimize damage on your property:
• Extend your downspouts and sump discharge pipes at least 2m away from your home’s foundation
• Every season, remove debris from eavestroughs and nearby storm drains or culverts
• Test sump pumps and install a back-up power system such as a battery back-up or generator
• Install check valves in sewer traps to prevent floodwater from backing up into your home’s drains
Even with flood prevention measures in place, you should be ready to respond quickly during a flooding event by knowing the risks, making an emergency plan, and building an emergency kit.
Visit www.ontario.ca/page/floods to learn more about flood risks and how to prepare for them.

Power outages can happen at any time. Whether you’re without power for minutes, hours, or days – stay safe with the tips below!
• Keep your emergency preparedness kit stocked.
• Stay informed. Staying connected is vital to staying safe.
• Stay food safe. Keep refrigerator doors closed during outages to preserve food.
• Never use charcoal or gas barbeques, camping stoves, or generators indoors.
• Know when to go. If your home gets too cold or too hot and you are able to leave, head to an alternative location until it is safe to return.
