Free Nicotine
Replacement
Therapy for
Smokers
Huron County Health Unit
September is the sec-
ond -most popular
month for smokers to
try to quit. The Huron
County Health Unit is
offering free nicotine
replacement therapy to
help smokers kick the
habit for good this fall.
"For many smokers
the cost of nicotine
replacement products
can be a barrier to
quitting," says Julie
Verch, Public Health
Nurse. "That's why we
are offering workshops
as part of the STOP
program."
The STOP (Smoking
Treatment for Ontario
Patients) Program
offers eligible partici-
pants five weeks of cost-
free nicotine replace-
ment therapy. The
program also offers tips
on making a successful
quit attempt.
The next STOP work-
shop will be held in
Clinton on September
30. Pre -registration is
required so please reg-
ister early. To check
your eligibility and reg-
ister, call Julie Verch at
519-482-3416 or
1-877-837-6143.
The STOP Program is
put on in partnership
with the Centre for
Addiction and Mental
Health.
Bruce Power Donates
$6,000 to Canadian
Fallen Firefighters
Foundation
To honour first
responders who died
while saving lives on
Sept. 11, 2001, Bruce
Power has donated
$6,000 to the Canadian
Fallen Firefighters Foun-
dation (CFFF).
"Although we should
pay our respects to these
brave heroes every day,
their courage on Sept.
11, 2001, will forever
remind us of the selfless
acts firefighters perform
each time they put on
their uniform," said
Duncan Hawthorne,
Bruce Power President
and CEO. "The Cana-
dian Fallen Firefighters
Foundation assists the
families of these heroes
while honouring their
memories through an
annual service in
Ottawa, and Bruce
Power is incredibly
proud to play a role in
the good work it does."
In 2012, the CFFF
completed the new
Canadian Firefighters
Memorial in Ottawa just
west of Parliament Hill,
and near the Canadian
War Museum. The
memorial honours fire-
fighters of Canada who
died in the line of duty
and provides a place for
their families, and all
Canadians, to reflect on
their heroism.
