Sun Protection

Statistics show that only one out of four Simcoe County adults always use sunscreen and more than one out of three adult residents have had at least one sunburn in the past year.

People most at risk for skin cancer have had two or more blistering sunburns as a child or adolescent.

You need to protect yourself and those you care for!
