The broader rollout brings new opportunities for clinics to improve efficiency and client outcomes. HiBoop's self-guided assessments allow patients to complete evaluations on their own time, using evidence-based tools that screen for a wide range of conditions, including anxiety, ADHD, depression, substance abuse and dissociation. Clinics receive concise, algorithm-driven reports that offer insight into patients' symptoms ahead of appointments, allowing for more targeted care planning from day one.

For providers, this means a significant reduction in intake time and more confidence in determining the right course of care. The platform uses machine learning to identify potential comorbid conditions and uses assessments to provide a comprehensive overview of the patient's mental health.

Water quality testing to begin Tuesday at Halifax area beaches
Summer has barely begun, and people are already making the most of the weather, but as the temperature rises so does the risk for bacteria. 'When the water is around body temperature, that's really the right temperature for these organisms to really have population booms,' said Elizabeth Montgomery, a water resources specialist with Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM). Staff with HRM will begin water quality testing at supervised beaches on July 1. 'We test weekly, typically at the beginning of the week, just so we have lots of time to retest if there's an exceedance,' she said. 'Typically, if you're at the beach on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday morning, you can see our lifeguard coordinators out there taking samples.' Staff will regularly test for E. coli levels, blue-green algae and other waterborne contaminants. 'We test for E. coli at all of our fresh water supervised beaches and enterococci at our brackish and saltwater supervised beaches, and that's basically to test to see if there's fecal contamination at any of the beaches.' While warmer water can create an environment for bacteria to grow, there are other contributing factors for potential closures. 'Either wildlife or waterfowl can also be a source, but also heavy rainfall can contribute to bacteria because then basically everything that's on the land gets flushed out into the water, and so that's why you tend to see beach closures or high bacteria numbers after a heavy rainfall,' said Montgomery. HRM will provide beach status updates weekdays by 8 a.m. and weekends by 9 a.m. between July 1 and September 1. However, closures due to suspected blue-green algae can happen at any time. 'We've trained all our lifeguards who work at the beaches how to observe for and watch for the signs of blue green algae. We train the lifeguards because they're there the most.' If a swimming advisory goes into effect, Montgomery said lifeguards will remain on site to advise people against going in the water. Swimming at a beach under an advisory could result in illness. 'You could see symptoms like skin rash, upset stomach, hives. Folks who have sensitive skin or are immunocompromised are more likely to see these effects, and these guidelines are really set to capture the folks who are the most at risk,' she said. Montgomery said if bacteria levels come back higher than what the guidelines recommend, staff will continue to retest the water until they are back in the appropriate range. 'We're doing our best to monitor on our beaches and we feel confident that we're delivering like a safe service at these places,' she said.

A child is seen in this supplied photo with a measles rash. (Alberta Health Services) Alberta added 38 new measles cases over the weekend. On Monday, the provincial dashboard showed 23 new cases identified in the north zone since Friday. Fourteen were found in the south and another one in the City of Calgary. Two people were in hospital with the virus. The new cases bring the total measles case in Alberta to 1,160 since March. Of those, Alberta Health Services (AHS) reported that eight people were currently known to have an active infection capable of spreading. AHS says all Albertans living in the south, central and northern zones should be aware that there is a 'significant' current risk of measles. Standing advisories are in effect for the south zone and the following locations in the north: The Hamlet of La Crete St. Theresa General Hospital in Fort Vermilion Northwest Health Centre in High Level According to the government, between one and three people out of every 1,000 diagnosed with measles die. One in 1,000 diagnosed with measles will get encephalitis. Everyone in those zones are eligible for additional immunizations, which are recommended for infants aged six months and up, people born before 1970 or people who have not been vaccinated. Anyone with measles symptoms, which include fever, a rash, red eyes, a runny nose and cough, should stay home and call the measles hotline at 1-844-944-3434 before visiting a health-care facility or public place. More information on measles or the latest known exposure locations can be found on the AHS website.

B.C.'s top doctor among British Columbians appointed to Order of Canada
B.C.'s provincial health officer is one of 10 new Order of Canada appointees, Gov. Gen. Mary Simon announced Monday. The latest list of honourees includes two new companions — the highest level of the Order of Canada — 19 officers and 62 members, the introductory honour level in the order. One appointment is a promotion within the Order of Canada and another is an honourary appointment. Dr. Bonnie Henry, made an officer of the Order of Canada, became a household name during the COVID-19 pandemic, appearing on television screens with daily updates and recommendations to keep residents safe. It was her moment to shine; as an epidemiologist, she'd spent many years researching viruses, including Ebola, H1N1 and SARS. "Having my name amongst this group of incredible Canadians is truly humbling," Henry said in a statement. "I have been privileged to have the opportunity to live and work in many parts of this great country and the world. To be recognized by my country for my life's work in health and public health is a tremendous honour and I am very grateful." She wasn't the only physician turned public figure to receive the appointment: Dr. Theresa Tam, former chief public health officer for Canada, was made an officer for the order for her role in leading the country's public health response to the COVID-19 pandemic. But this year's list is varied, including athletes, artists, public servants and more. Ruth Williams of the Tsilhqot'in Nation — a founding member of the All Nations Trust Company, which empowers and supports Indigenous entrepreneurs — is included in the Order of Canada appointees, as well as Lorraine Greaves, an expert in sex and gender-based research into women's experiences with addiction and violence. Thomas Irving, a long-time potter, Emily Carr University of Art and Design professor emeritus and founder of the British Columbia Centre of Excellence for Women's Health, is also included. "We proudly recognize each of these individuals whose dedication and passion for service not only enrich our communities but also help shape the fabric of our nation," the Governor General said in a media statement. "Together, they inspire us to strive for greatness and to foster a future filled with hope and possibility." Here is the list of British Columbians appointed to the Order of Canada on June 30, 2025:
