Happy 144th Birthday Canada!
We hope you enjoyed the long weekend in celebration of Canada's independence. Did you know that although we officially became a country in 1867, the final step in our independence took place in 1982? So I guess, happy 29th birthday Canada?
Patio season is well under way and the cameras of family members and friends seem to be out in full effect. If you've been considering bringing out the best in your smile for the summer, request an appointment today. There are plenty of summer gatherings and photo opportunities ahead.
Be active, Eat well
While, being active, wearing sunscreen and staying hydrated may be overriding themes of the summer, we would like to add a tasty tip to your summer mantra. Eat more fruits and vegetables. With weekend farmers markets scheduled around the city it is easy to stock up on fresh produce that is healthy and delicious. According to Canada's Food Guide, an adult should be eating between 7-10 servings of fruit and vegetables a day. How many servings have you had today?
Have a safe and healthy summer from,
The team @ Kingston Park Dental Office

| Dr. Train's First Annual Charity Barbecue A Success! |
Kingston Park Dental Centre would like to thank its patients and the Beaches community for helping to raise nearly $2,000 in support of a worthy charity! Dr. Leslie Train, with staff Margarette, Shayne, Faygle and Golda organized a charity barbecue on Friday, June 26th, 2011 outside their clinic. Many patients and members of the community stopped to buy freshly grilled hotdogs and cold drinks while watching entertainment by Dr. Train's son and professional magician, Ben!
All proceeds from the barbecue have been donated to Zareinu, a School and Treatment Centre which provides special education and individualized therapies to children with a wide range of physical and developmental challenges.
Dr. Train, a long-time supporter of Zareinu, also rode 100 K in their charity bike-a-thon around the Niagara Escarpment on Sunday, June 26th.
