Children and outdoor workers face the highest risk of cumulative sun damage. Primary Care Alberta emphasizes protective clothing, wide-brimmed hats, and sunglasses as first-line defenses. Reapplication of sunscreen every two hours is crucial for sustained protection.
The reminder aligns with national campaigns targeting melanoma, which is one of the most preventable cancers. Alberta's health system spends over $50 million annually on skin cancer treatments. Prevention through sun safety could reduce this burden by up to 40%.
