Winter Safety Tips With SADOC
While enjoying your winter wonderland this year remember to have fun and also stay safe
December is A time of joy and fun for all but remember that the snow can also be dangerous.
Remember your hats and scarfs to keep the chill away.
Remember that its important to keep your hands warm with some gloves or mittens. (especially if your partial to a good snowball fight).
Always try to have a few layers of clothing on but also be comfortable. With the temperatures dropping dramatically over the month there is A risk of hypothermia and frostbite. Keep from exposing any part of the body to the cold to avoid this and take the time to enjoy some lovely warm drinks. Time to get the marshmallows and cream out for the monster hot chocolates.
If you notice anyone with symptoms of hypothermia such as confusion, lack of co-ordination or speech problems please help them by calling MD and trying to make them as warm as possible but always limit their movement after you have moved them out of the cold. Try to shield them from any wind where possible and remove any wet clothing and cover them with blankets or dry clothing where possible. Make sure to monitor their breathing while you wait for emergency services. Avoid using any form of direct heat as this can cause irregular heartbeats.
Remembering these small steps could help someone in the cold this winter so please have fun and stay safe this winter and look after one another during this festive period

Herrman Wolff, Interim Deputy Director, Public Relations Bureau
I genuinely love winter and the snow.
This will be my second December in the city, and there's no time of year I look forward to more than this. I feel it's a time that we band together the most, and you get a real sense of community from every citizen. The snow covers everything and makes every street and mountain look picturesque, and it's a chance for all of us to dust off our 4x4's and get them running again.
I think the snow, itself, is a perfect metaphor for the time of year in our state. It's a time of change, as we come into the new year, that then gives way into our usual normalcy. It's fitting because very much so we find the same thing where we will often experience change at this time but persevere and embrace it, and it becomes our new normalcy.
Wrap up warm, get out and embrace the togetherness and the end of year festivities. I know for a fact I will be. I also understand that while I am enjoying it, that I will be glad to know that much like the weather; I, and the situation my life is in will change, and it's something that I can embrace and be happy about. - LSC Owner - Liam Binnie:
