Southern Health-Santé Sud has issued a public service announcement related to the impending storm to hit our region tonight. 

It advises that imminent inclement weather and/or limited road access may cause delay or cancellations of Southern Health-Santé Sud appointments and/or scheduled events. 

The announcement noted that power outages may also affect phone and online services, and they may be unable to provide notification of cancellations.

They recommend you call ahead before leaving your home, and you can make that call to your health care provider’s office to confirm your appointment.   

Home Care clients are encouraged to activate their backup plans with family members and friends and/or to call the "after hours" number as required. The announcement adds to call 9-1-1 for all emergencies.
