The Culture Alliance in the Heart of Georgian Bay hosted an ‘Expo’ of ART-repreneur businesses from just before Covid to present, on June 29, 2023.

I have finally caught my breath after almost burning out as I took on too much when returning to work, and ramping up on cross-skilling (training).

I’ll be volunteering at ‘Coldest Night of the Year’ in Midland on February 25, 2023 because the unhoused need our help. Please, join the walk and fundraise, volunteer, and/or donate.

Good news from my perspective for getting back into my career, and a note on titles for letters to the editor (SPOILER: It’s the editor’s choice)

What can municipal politicians actually do to make employment accessible? More than you might think. [But are they willing to do so?]

This election cycle I asked the candidates for the Town of Midland council one question (albeit a complex multi-part one) about helping those with disabilities achieve employment.

I know not all politicians sell their soul, but I have already used ‘dodged the bullet’ for not running for council…

No not mine. Gateway Centre for Learning in Midland has been ‘putting the unity in community’ for an amazing 40 years.

In a recent letter to editor of MidlandToday.ca I wrote that “We need to give municipalities the legal and financial tools to be able to ensure the safety, well-being and success of all residents”. I now add that we also need to make sure councils are not dysfunctional.

The MakerPlace virtual meetings were on a different track than expected for Makerspace, but my reaction was a reflection of a generally negative state of mind.
