What would you include in a first aid kit for out-of-town university or college students coming to live in Thorold for a few years?
This should be a timely question as Downtown Thorold hosts a free barbecue party to welcome students to our community on September 14. We hope all goes well for the students, but if they get hurt or sick during their studies here, it helps to have the necessary tools to stay healthy.
Henderson’s Pharmacy offers a few suggestions to create a custom made Student’s First Aid Kit. Depending on the individual, the following items could be included in a kit.
Henderson’s Pharmacy offers students and staff of Brock University or Niagara College a 10 per cent discount (some restrictions apply). This would be handy incentive when creating a customized Student First Aid Kit with some or all of the following suggestions.
