Both offices will reopen Tuesday January 3rd 2017. Over this period of time I will not be able to collect blood or other pathology specimens either. Please ensure you have enough prescriptions to last over this holiday season.

Please stay safe over the festive/holiday season. During this hot weather remember to drink plenty of water and stay indoors during the hottest part of the day. When the weather is hot eat small meals more often and drink plenty of water. Remember to “slip, slop,slap,seek” if working outside.

Slip = slip on a hat. Slop = slop on sunscreen. Slap = slap on a shirt. Seek = seek shade.

Kylie’s Nails

I wish to inform the members of the community that I will be finishing up doing nails at the end of this year.  I would like to thank my clients that supported me over the past 4 years, and unfortunately, I’ve had to make this decision.  I will still be taking appointments up to the end of 2016 and honouring any outstanding vouchers that are still in date.

Thank you – Kylie             Donation - $5.00
