Or maybe you are a project manager working on a massive high-rise project and need major appliances for 150 units. No matter the size of the job, Coast Appliances’ new location in Burlington can handle it. With 16 stores across Canada and more than 39 years in business, Coast’s brand new Burlington location has the pedi- gree to get homeowners, designers and build- ers the right major appliances for each unique situation. Located at 2311 Appleby Ln. in Burlington, Coast Appliances features a beautiful show- toom packed with the latest fridges, ranges, freezers, ovens, dishwashers, microwaves, laundry sets and more. To celebrate, Coast is kicking things off in style with a huge grand opening event. “Our grand opening will run until the end of June and we've got tons of promotions and great deals on all brands, said general man- ager Katen Kak. “One of the things that sets us apart from other appliance stories is the deep level of knowledge and experience that our staff has,’ said Kak. “Not only do we know the product well, but we will be able to ask you questions One of the many appliance showrooms at Coast Anpliances on Appleby Line. Phi to find out what kind of appliance is going to perfectly suit your needs.” When it comes to being competitive, Coast Appliances’ purchasing power of 16 locations across Canada, plus their “price match guaran- tee” means you will get pricing that is second to none. As well, Coast can also coordinate de- m Paine, Metroland Media Group livery and instalation, making the purchasing process simple and convenient. In terms of selection, Coast offers mass brands like Samsung, Frigidaire, Maytag, Kitch- enAid and Whirlpool, and luxury brands such as Miele, Sub-Zero, Wolf and Thermador, to name just a few of the more than 40 brands they carry. With their deep knowledge of major appli- ances, the friendly experts at Coast are also great resources for practical and helpful ad- vice. According to Kak, a popular choice for homeowners looking to increase value in their kitchen would be to upgrade their stovetop by switching to induction technology. “Induction stovetops are different than the previous electric or gas ranges that were com- monly seen,’ said Kak. “This technology is elec- tromagnetic, meaning that it gives you a better response time than other stoves and offers a lot more flexibility - you can simmer and sear more effectively. It’s also much safer and easier to clean” Where fridges are concerned, Kak indicates that a panel fridge is a popular choice. This is when the unit is built into the cupboards, laying flush with the rest of the kitchen design. The fridge doesn’t extend past the cabinetry and isn’t easily identified, as the front is the same paneling as the cabinets. Open seven-days-a-week, Katen Kak and his team of appliance experts at the new Coast Appliances in Burlington look forward to meet- ing you and helping you with all your major ap- pliance needs.

Photo by Riziero Vertolli, Metroland Media Group From Left: Eric Docherty and Salima Kassam of the Foot and Health Clinic work towards ensuring their clients are With seven to ten times the weight of your body coming down on each foot while running, its no wonder many people find themselves in pain. At the Foot and Health Clinic, located on Burloak Drive, Salima Kassam and Eric Docherty focus on enabling their Clients to live pain-free. They address all medical foot issues, providing an under- standing of why an issue is occurring, and giving the tools and tactics to remedy the issue for a pain-free life. “When a client comes to our clinic, not only do we explain the physiology so that you can take preventative steps to be pain-free, but we also fix the issue and follow up afterwards to ensure that the is- sue has been resolved, said Salima Kas- sam, registered chiropodist and owner of Foot and Health Clinic. “We get you pain- free and keep you pain-free.” Having practiced within the chiropody profession since 2001, Kassam special- izes in custom foot orthotics and diabetic foot care and is seasoned in all aspects of chiropody. In 2002 she began working at the Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospi- tal Foot Clinic, and in 2007 moved to her current clinic location. “The goal of our clinic is to make peo- ple pain-free, whether that’s just during the simple act of walking, to kids playing sports, to runners training for marathons,” said Kassam. “Not only do we get to the root of the pain, but we can suggest life- style change to promote good lower leg health. For example preventing heel pain by wearing shoes around the house.” According to Kassam there are a vari- ety of reasons that someone might feel foot pain. It could be a child who is in toeing or out-toeing, a woman with bun- ion pain from overuse of flip-flops, or an athlete who is living with shin splints. All of which can be easily remedied. For women who wear high heels on a daily basis, Kassam suggests bringing a more suitable pair of shoes for the most active part of the day. “| wouldn't tell a client to stop wearing heels” said Kassam. “But if they change what they're wearing during high mileage or high impact walking or activities they will be able to help minimize their foot pain” Located at 728 Burloak Dr., unit B3, Foot and Health Clinic is open Monday to Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Wednesday and Thursday 12 to 7 p.m., and Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The clinic is open by ap- pointment only on Tuesday and Saturday.
