🏠 Make sure your home isn’t too hot. 🌡️ Any temperature above 31 degrees C indoors means it’s time to find a cooler place to hang out, like staying with a friend with A/C or heading to your local library.

People now have better convenience when it’s time to screen for cervical cancer. People can order a self-screening kit online and do the test at home or at a clinic. Self-screening kits are more accurate and make it possible to catch cancer sooner. ScreeningBC.ca/Cervix
