Healthy Pictou County’s Just Ask Campaign

Getting someone's name right matters. It shows respect and makes people feel welcome, whether we're working together, receiving care, or connecting in our communities.

That’s why Healthy Pictou County has launched its newest campaign: Just Ask.
It serves as a great reminder that when we're unsure how to say someone's name, the best thing we can do… is just ask!

Watch the full campaign video below.


Tag4Access: Putting Accessibility on the Map

Tag4Access, an accessibility initiative founded by 16-year old Prisha Popli, is now available on both the App Store and Google Play. The app is a community-driven app, aimed at making accessibility information more, well, accessible.

Two mockups of mobile devices. The first shows a screenshot of the Tag4Access App's Province filter, and the second shows a screenshot of the Halifax accessibility map.

The Tag4Access map appears to have garnered accessibility information across Alberta, British Columbia, and Nova Scotia thus far.

The app features an interactive map where users can create tags and labels in order to record accessibility barriers, or accessible features of a given area. These tags are then reviewed by volunteer accessibility leaders in order to further verify the information and identify gaps that can be improved upon.

That’s all for now!
