The Lifesaving Society: Stone

With the introduction of new recreational cannabis laws in 2018, the Lifesaving Society recognized the importance of targeting the 18- to- 24-year-old segment specifically in order to educate them on the risks of mixing drug use and fun on the water. “To avoid repeating last summer’s high death toll and given that alcohol and drugs are the cause of more than one-third of drownings in Quebec each year, we had to target young people and their consumption habits on the water,” explained Raynald Hawkins, General Manager of the Lifesaving Society.

The Lifesaving Society is a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to help prevent drownings and other water-related traumas through the promotion of safe practices while enjoying water sports.

Simple lifestyle measures have been shown to be effective in preventing or delaying the onset of type 2 diabetes. Early diagnosis can be accomplished through relatively inexpensive testing of blood sugar. WHO aims to stimulate and support the adoption of effective measures for the surveillance, prevention and control of diabetes and its complications, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.

Synopsis: Small businesses compose 44% of the US economy. But the pandemic could change that forever. Over 100,000 small businesses have permanently disappeared during the COVID-19 pandemic. They desperately need help but don’t know how to ask. So how do we help small businesses get customers into the store while being cautious?

Well, sometimes the only way to get help is by being transparent about the problem. The pandemic has caused a lot of suffering across the spectrum. In times when everybody needs a helping hand, those who can help are confused ?about who they can help. In such times, if you don’t ask for help, you may not get it. 

So, let’s use the world’s most popular map to show us which businesses need help and how one can map their impact. Google Maps releases S.O.S Mode allowing small businesses to map their financial health in real-time during the pandemic.
