that are needed in the community, and concerns that you may have in how
programs are delivered. Simply, what kind of training would you like to see
delivered in the community?

Recreation Centre policy on
Children and Youth
• As you may all be aware all children coming to the recreation centre
unsupervised must be 12 years of age or older. All children under 12
must be supervised by someone 16+.
• This does not include children registered with our after school
program or any other children's program that may be going on.
• All youth under 16 will not be allowed in the Rec Centre after 10pm
on school nights. You have homework and you need your sleep!!
Due to the current Physician
shortage we are experiencing,
Parhelion Medical Services would
like to ask for the following
assistance from all our patients:
1)
Public
Information
Brochure
Please be aware that it may take
anywhere from 1 to 3 days to get an
appointment with your doctor. Same day
bookings may not be available due to the
physician shortage.
2) Wait times to see your doctor in office may
range from 20 minutes to 3 hours. Every
effort is made to see patients in a timely
manner but the medical condition of the
patient determines the amount of time
required by the doctor to provide proper
medical care. This can and will cause
delays. Please make sure you have the
necessary time available to wait when
booking your
appointment.
3) Please let the booking clerk know if you need
extra time with your doctor for such things
as driver’s medicals, insurance papers,
etc. It will help in decreasing waiting times
for everyone if the booking clerk knows in
advance that you need extra time for you
appointment.
4) Walk-in appointments, (where available), will
be restricted to urgent needs, infants,
children and seniors only. As there is
limited time in the day for patients to be
seen and limited physicians this restriction
will be enforced.
5) If you can’t make it to your appointment
please call and let us know so we can give that
time to someone else. If you do not show up on
time for your appointment it may be cancelled.
6) Keep an eye on your medications to ensure
you do not run out. DO NOT wait until you are
completely out of medications to book an
appointment as you MAY NOT be able to get in
on the day you run out. Book appointments for
prescription renewal a couple of days before
you run out of your medications.
7) As always please expect to wait 1 hour for
your medications to be processed. Staff must
ensure that each medication is checked and
double checked for your safety, so please be
patient.
8) Finally, please remember that your doctor is
a person too. He/She requires time to eat and
sleep the same as you do. DO NOT ask for
appointments during lunch hours or after
posted clinic hours.
Remember the doctors working at the clinic
are the same doctors that are on call at the
hospital, and may have been up most of the
night dealing with emergencies. They
require down time just like everyone else.
Thank you for your patience, co-operation and
understanding.
•
A snowmobile & ATV can only be driven on a roadway if it is registered and insured. The operator
must have a valid drivers license. The rules of the road must be obeyed at all times, this means
you must make a complete stop at a stop sign, yield at yield signs and follow any speed signs,
etc. A helmet must be worn by law on snowmobiles at all times.
•
If a snowmobile or ATV is on the roadway without registration or insurance, and/or if the operator
does not have a valid drivers license, it can be towed and the operator can be charged. This can
effect your ability to obtain a valid drivers license later on.
•
There are bylaws in communities, and some of those bylaws do not allow a snowmobile or ATV on
any roadway in that community. Please make sure you check your local bylaws before you
operate on any roadway.
•
PLEASE NOTE .... A snowmobile and ATV are considered a motor vehicle. The same laws apply
for "impaired operation of a motor vehicle" to snowmobile's and ATV's no matter where they are
operated. PLEASE DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE!!!!
•
ALWAYS REMEMBER to operate in a safe manner .... every year many people are killed on
snowmobiles and ATV's. Please operate safely, obey the law and most of all .... HAVE FUN!!!!
