Research shows that over 50% of Canadians get their worst sunburn while watching or PROTECT participating in outdoor recreational activities. Source: National Sun Survey Highlights YOURSELF BY: Report (July 2008) • Knowing the UV Index and planning accordingly • Wearing sunglasses that protect your eyes • Seeking shade • Wearing clothing that covers your arms and legs and a broad-brimmed hat to protect your face and neck. • Applying a broad spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) on all exposed skin 20 minutes before going outdoors.
