The Lanark Integrated Frontline Team (LIFT) is a mobile unit that brings health and social support to Lanark County residents. Its focus is on people facing barriers to traditional services and to meet them where they are - physically, emotionally and socially - to help with their journey to ...wellness.

LIFT is a partnership between Lanark County Mental Health, Lanark County Paramedic Service, Lanark County, and Southeast Public Health. The team meets people where they live and gather, including encampments, community spaces, food programs and supportive housing.

Lanark Lodge hosted a successful Long-Term Care Engagement Day event on Sept. 18 that highlighted how residents, staff and volunteers are contributing to the home and to the community in many wonderful ways! Here are some examples of building a community in the home. Watch for more engagement ...examples coming soon!

🚧 “IT'S ONLY ONE CAR.”

That's what one driver might think.

But that one vehicle entering a closed construction zone can mean:
⚠️ A worker must stop what they're doing.
⚠️ Equipment may have to be moved.
⚠️ A work area may have to be ...made safe again.
⚠️ A driver may encounter an unexpected hazard.
⚠️ Completed work could be damaged.
⚠️ The project could be delayed.

And the next driver may think, “If they went through, so can I.”

Before long, a road closure isn't functioning as a road closure at all.

Please don't be the driver who enters.

🚧 Respect the signs. Follow the detour. Give road crews room to work.
