VIA Rail cancels service from Windsor to Toronto Friday due to a derailment in Brantford, three people are displaced after a Windsor fire, and two people are wanted following a suspected firearm incident. All the evening headlines, and the weekend forecast, on the go.

Happy Canada Jay Day.  It's July 1, 2025 and for most people it's a holiday and a chance to  barbecue, picnic, get away from the house and watch or set off fireworks after dark.  For birders,(those poor souls that have to work for a living during the week), it's a day to celebrate birds and go birding with friends, family, or just get away on your own and and listen to the summer breeding birds in a quiet forest, park or glen.  As I write this, I'm sitting on a quiet bench in Long Point, Ontario at the Long Point Bird Banding Demonstration Station at what they call the Old Cut.          Since last we visited, a lot has gone on in the birding world here in Southwestern Ontario.  I still have yet to see a Wilson's Warbler, but hopefully fall migration will bring one my way.  Aside from that, the last month has been good to me.  I saw a Laughing Gull in Toronto and Sue and I found, and listened to an Acadian Flycatcher in the oddly named Skunk's Misery.  The other amazing happening, has been an eruption of American White Pelicans that have refused to fly north and west to their breeding grounds.  They've been spotted all over southwestern Ontario.  The big news for the local birders, was that 9 of those pelicans are visiting us where I live in Brantford.  They first appeared on the Grand River at Waterworks Park, only minutes from home. And happily, this batch of, perhaps bachelor pelicans, has stuck around and may, verily, spend the summer with us on The Grand.      I only added 11 birds to my year list in June, many of those I should have seen during migration.  But not that sinker, the Willson's Warbler.  Look, I can understand missing a Worm Eating Warbler,(and yes,I confess I missed that one too), but for Audubon's sake, really, one of the easiest spring warblers, the bright yellow bird with the black yarmulka, described by American ornithologist Alexander Wilson in 1811!  And it's a bird that seems to have little fear of peoples as it hunts bugs and such in the outsides of branches, like dogwoods, in the spring.  So yeah, am I bitter?  Heck yeah!       Okay, take a deep breath. Center yourself.  Breath. It's just one bird.  Not like I missed a Brown Pelican.  Oh yeah, a Brown Pelican showed up in the Niagara region this past Monday. I raced to Niagara-on-the Lake, searched the buoy it had been on, but the heat haze made it impossible to be sure I was looking at it, maybe it was there, maybe it wasn't. By the time I was able to see the  buoy clearly in the afternoon, it was long gone.  But missed opportunities lead to future celebrations when you finally do see the bird you've been searching for all year.  Your patience,(and mine),may one day be rewarded.      Now on to the show.  My guests are a birding couple from Maine, Ingrid and Ethan Whitaker.  Ethan set the record,(since broken), for a Maine Big Year on his own and then Ingrid got into the Big Year spirit so they could see the country, maybe see 600 species of birds, and, for some reason, a giant ball of twine.  They weren't chasing any records, but were more successful than they ever imagined when they set out on their Lower 48 Big Year.  Please enjoy as Ethan and Ingrid Whitaker tell the rest of the story.      Next month, we'll be venturing back in time to the year 2012 and returning to Ontario.  At the beginning of that year I was a 51 yr old, less than novice birder and had started an ABA Big Year on a wing and a prayer.  My guest, however, not even half my age at the time, was an experienced and knowledgeable birder and was setting out on his Ontario Big Year.  It ended up being a battle worth of Kenn Kauffman and Floyd Murdoch back in 1973.  Suffice it to say, my guest, Andrew Keaveny, played the part of Kenn Kauffman.  During the course of 2012 I got to know Andrew very well, and often I was able to follow up on his finds and get birds I may not have seen otherwise.  We have become good birding friends over the years and it will be nice to finally hear his story.      Once again, I wish I could thank everyone personally for listening.  You could do me a big favour by following, subscribing, liking and commenting, wherever it is you listen to my voice over the ethereal land of podcasts.  Also, please tell all your birding friends and family to come have a listen.  Won't you?

For decades, he's exposed the horrific genocide of Indigenous children in church-run Indian Residential Schools, uncovering a dark campaign of abuse, murder, and cultural annihilation with a staggering 50% death rate. At great personal cost - his career, family, and reputation - Kevin sparked a global movement, becoming a beacon for survivors and a thorn in the side of the powerful.In the 1990s, his discoveries in Port Alberni, British Columbia, shattered his world and ignited his mission. He convened the first independent Tribunal into residential school crimes in 1998, founded The Truth Commission into Genocide in Canada in 2000, authored ‘Hidden from History: The Canadian Holocaust in 2001', and released the award-winning documentary ‘Unrepentant' in 2007. His work forced Canada's 2008 apology, though his name was erased from the narrative.Undaunted, Kevin co-founded the International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State (ITCCS) in 2010, uniting survivors across 26 countries. His efforts led to the 2011 excavation of children's bones in Brantford, Ontario, and the 2012 prosecution of Pope Benedict, contributing to the pontiff's historic resignation. Despite blacklisting, smear campaigns, and state persecution - including a fraudulent 2021 COVID order targeting him - Kevin persists. He's authored over a dozen books, founded the Republic of Kanata in 2015, and earned two Nobel Peace Prize nominations. Today, Kevin's unyielding voice inspires millions to confront genocide, child trafficking, and oppression, proving one person's courage can change the world.Today, Kevin returns to continue his riveting saga as a relentless whistleblower and advocate. We'll dive into fresh evidence of these heinous crimes, explore how to prosecute and halt them through independent jurisdictions, and discuss the transformative potential of common law courts, sovereign Republics, and personal sovereignty. Kevin will share more of his harrowing experiences, offer insights from his Whistleblower's Manual, and inspire with his unwavering resolve. CONNECT WITH KEVIN:Email: angelfire101@protonmail.comPhone: 289-680-8724Websites:-Republic of Kanata: https://republicofkanata.org/-Radio Free Kanata: https://bbsradio.com/radiofreekanata-'Murder by Decree' & other books published by Kevin: https://murderbydecree.com/#books-'Unrepentant' Documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Czej73SfYJcCONNECT WITH THE IMAGINATION:EMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comBUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theimaginationAll links: https://direct.me/theimaginationpodcastRIFE TECHNOLOGIES:https://realrifetechnology.com/15% Code: Support the show

In September 1989, 19-year-old Valerie Stevens kissed her daughter goodnight and left their Toronto apartment for a night out. She never made it to the nightclub—and never came home. Three years later, Valerie's remains were discovered in a wooded area near Brantford, Ontario. Her death was ruled a homicide, but the case remains unsolved to this day. In this episode, we speak with Valerie's daughter, Robyn Stevens, who was just 16 months old when her mother vanished. Now a mother herself, Robyn shares her personal journey—from the shocking revelation as a preteen that she had been adopted, to her ongoing efforts to uncover what really happened to her birth mother. With candor and resilience, Robyn reflects on identity, loss, and the enduring hope for justice.

For decades, this Canadian hero we get to hear from today has fearlessly exposed the dark underbelly of his nation's history - the systematic genocide of Indigenous children in church-run Indian Residential Schools. At immense personal cost, Kevin has become a beacon of hope for survivors, a thorn in the side of the powerful, and a catalyst for global awakening.Born with a fierce sense of justice, Kevin's journey began in the 1990s when, as a minister in Port Alberni, British Columbia, he uncovered harrowing accounts of abuse, murder, and cultural annihilation inflicted upon Indigenous children. What he discovered shattered his world: a deliberate campaign by church and state to erase a people, with a staggering 50% death rate in the schools - a truth later confirmed by the Globe and Mail in 2007. Unwilling to stay silent, Kevin embarked on a mission that would cost him his career, his family, and his reputation, but would also ignite a movement that could not be extinguished.In 1998, Kevin convened the first independent Tribunal into residential school crimes in Vancouver, a groundbreaking effort that recommended genocide charges against Canada and its churches to the United Nations. He founded The Truth Commission into Genocide in Canada in 2000, authored the seminal book ‘Hidden from History: The Canadian Holocaust' in 2001, and released the award-winning documentary ‘Unrepentant' in 2007, which shocked the world with its raw testimonies and undeniable evidence. His work forced an official apology from the Canadian government in 2008, though the establishment quickly erased his name from the narrative.Undeterred, Kevin went global. In 2010, he co-founded the International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State (ITCCS), uniting survivors across 26 countries to hold the Vatican, the British Crown, and Canadian leaders accountable for crimes against humanity. His efforts led to the 2011 excavation of children's bones at a mass grave in Brantford, Ontario, and the historic 2012 prosecution of Pope Benedict and others by the International Common Law Court of Justice. Kevin's courage even sparked the resignation of Pope Benedict - a testament to the power of his unrelenting pursuit of justice.CONNECT WITH KEVIN: Email: angelfire101@protonmail.comPhone: 289-680-8724 Websites: -Republic of Kanata: https://republicofkanata.org/-Radio Free Kanata: https://bbsradio.com/radiofreekanata-'Murder by Decree' & other books published by Kevin: https://murderbydecree.com/#books -'Unrepentant' Documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Czej73SfYJcCONNECT WITH THE IMAGINATION:EMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comBUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theimaginationAll links: https://direct.me/theimaginationpodcastRIFE TECHNOLOGIES: https://realrifetechnSupport the show

Preston Masciangelo lined up for his first-ever AMA Pro Motocross Championship National at Fox Raceway in pala, California, this past weekend. We got in touch with him to hear how it all went for the rider from Brantford, Ontario. Tuesday, May 27, 2025

This week, Rosalyn chats with Mohawk folk and soul artist Logan Staats. Logan reflects on some of the pivotal moments that have shaped his career, as well as his transformative time spent in Nashville, where he focused on writing new songs and honing his craft. He shares how sobriety, family, and a deep-rooted connection to his community help keep him grounded. Plus, he offers a glimpse of what's ahead on his much-anticipated new album, set to be released later this year.Find Logan Staats online:Website & Upcoming ShowsInstagramFacebookTikTokAbout Logan StaatsMohawk folk and soul musician Logan Staats began as a diamond in the rough on the streets of Brantford, Ontario. He had no formal musical training, just a good ear and raw lyrical talent. He played the local circuit for years before his 2015 debut release ‘Goodbye Goldia', an unvarnished yet hard hitting folk album. He went on to win CTV's ‘The Launch' in 2018, gaining commercial success and touring across North America and Europe. But traveling the world can really open your eyes to what's going on right at home, and the fight for indigenous sovereignty has become a focal point for Staats in recent years. It all intermingles with the music; the passion, the rage, the love, and most of all the healing. He's making roadtrippin' music for those traveling 'the red road'; a path towards reconnecting and relearning indigenous ways. This is the philosophy behind his sophomore album ‘A Light In The Attic', released 2023. These songs are a healing salve, contemplatively composed and offered to listeners in need of comfort. Nowadays, he is gearing up for his newest release, a soulful americana album set to be released later this year.______________If you're interested in submitting questions for our upcoming episodes, be sure to follow Folk Canada on Instagram where we will be posting our upcoming guests.Tune in to the latest episodes of the Refolkus Podcast, featuring the latest music releases from Folk Canada members as well as some of our special guests, now broadcasting on CKCU FM 93.1 in Ottawa, CKUW 95.9 FM in Winnipeg and CFBX 92.5 FM in Kamloops.Presented by Folk CanadaHosted by Rosalyn DennettProduced by Kayla Nezon and Rosalyn DennettMixed by Jordan Moore of The Pod CabinTheme music “Amsterdam” by King CardiacArtwork by Jaymie Karn

Strange days in Brantford where new ownership makes a bold move and one that risks the goodwill that's been built with the city since the Bulldogs' return. Farwell and Dan dive into Matt Turek's departure and why it's raising some red flags. Plus, the OHL now stands alone when it comes to the playoff format and the league would do well to follow the lead of the WHL and QMJHL. And who's ready for an extra overager? Teams might be able to start adding one, in certain circumstances. On the ice, after a couple of Game 7's to close out Round 2, London and Oshawa appear to be headed back to the championship for a rematch of their one-sided meeting a year ago. But don't write the obituaries for Kitchener and Barrie just yet. Don't forget to answer the roll call from your market and let us know what you think by sending an email to ohlpodcast@rogers.com.

In this episode of The Urban Lives of Property, Markus Kip and Hanna Hilbrandt speak with Heather Dorries, about the intersections of settler colonialism and racial capitalism in urban property regimes. Drawing on Dorries' recent publications and her wider expertise on property, Indigeneity, and urbanism the episode centers the ways in which planning practices contribute to Indigenous dispossession while also serving as a site of resistance and assertions of sovereignty. We foreground three themes: First, the conversation addresses planning's complicity in processes of dispossession, examining how legal frameworks and land sales have historically undermined Indigenous political authority. This discussion delves into Dorries research on Brantford on how nuisance bylaws work as mechanisms that uphold white privilege. Second and more conceptually, we discuss tensions between and productive conversations emerging from combining the analytical lenses of settler colonialism and the lens of racial capitalism. Finally, Dorries reflects on Indigenous conceptions of property and alternative terminologies that better capture Indigenous relationships to land, emphasizing co-dependence and collective stewardship.

We can continue the debate about whether this was the best OHL second round in a decade, but we can do it after we enjoy two Game 7's. That's right, half of the OHL's second round series' are going the distance and, in the case of Windsor-Kitchener, one team is trying to come back from 0-3 down. It's going to be a great day for the league and its fans. London, which still hasn't dropped a game in these playoffs, awaits the West winner while the Oshawa Generals will watch Barrie and Kingston to see where they play next (Oshawa, the 4-seed, will start the East Final on the road). Speaking of Oshawa, the Gens came into this season on a mission. After being swept out of last year's OHL Final by London, the Gens' plan was to finish what they started in 2024. Are they on a collision course with the Knights again? Jack Moore, the voice of the Oshawa Generals, joins us to break down the season and the playoffs so far. He'll also tell Farwell how he got it so wrong after Farwell picked Oshawa to lose in both the first AND second rounds this year. We've got more news from around the league, too, as there's talk of increasing the number of Imports, an Eastern Conference team gets a 15-year extension on its arena lease (but that arena needs some TLC), and OHL fans got robbed of one of the league's most dynamic players to end the playoffs (and, as a result, Brantford's season may have ended prematurely). Plus, when in Windsor, while there are many places to find a great pizza, only one place serves the best. I dare you to argue with me (ohlpodcast@rogers.com).

What is giving you the greatest strengths as you've moved through your life aside from being a doctor? My family. Family As His Greatest Strength And Joy Tell me a little bit about your family. I have three children, two boys and a girl. I have four granddaughters. They are married to four beautiful people. I have six great grandchildren. The oldest is now in the University. I can't get over how I cherish them so much. Do they live nearby? They all live in Toronto except my eldest son who is a lawyer in New York. He practices theater law. That's how I was giving your name through your son. He thought you would enjoy being on the show. Let's chat a little bit about friendships. I know family is important, but I've been told and other people I've talked to, as you grow older it's important to maintain relationships with other people and to be in touch with other people. How do you feel about that? Would you agree?        We had two other couples that we were extremely close to. Unfortunately, 3 of the 4 have passed away and there's only one living. I speak to her about every couple week and we say hello. She always invites me over for a false steak's supper. What does that mean? She lurs you over with the promise of a steak supper then she gives you chicken? She says that, “I'm going to make you a steak supper.” That's nice. Any tips for people as they grow older on how to maintain friendships? You don't need anything to maintain a friendship. It just exist. My best friend was named Billy Clairfield. His wife was very beautiful and very good friends with my wife. There is a Dr. Buckman, who was a dentist. He ruined all my teeth, but we were great friends. We had other friends but not as close as this. My wife spokes to her friends almost every day. That is nice. That is special. What would you say is giving you the greatest pleasure that you still derived pleasure from? Anything that you can think of? My grandchildren. I adore them. I worry about them a lot but they are all doing well. I'm sure you're a good role model. Do you have any favorite sayings or philosophy on living a good life? Not really. Enjoy every day. Let me ask you this, if you were given a pill and you woke up, you were 30 years younger than you are. What would you do differently? I would certainly go fishing. My son is going up to Alaska and I would certainly be going with him. Thinking back during your lifetime, what have been the greatest changes in society in your life time? Electronics by all means. Financially, I'm stable, but I worry a little bit about my health, but what the heck? I'm 102. How do you feel about those changes? They're good. Excellent. When my kids go away on vacation, I can Skype them every day. I can't believe that. It is pretty nice. Isn't it? Excellent. What is been most inspirational to you throughout your life? My work. I enjoyed every single day. How did you decide to go into that specialty? I had a problem with my eyes. Originally, I wanted to be an obstetrician and gynecologist but my eyes wouldn't allow me. I did an internship at Sick Kids Hospital and I fell in love with it. His “Secret Sauce” To A Joyful Life That's nice story. What can you tell our readers, I would call this your secret sauce to living a joyful and juicy life like you've had? What's your secret to being 102, thriving, and having a good life?

Yes, The Big Year Podcast is back. And after a long, cold, snowy winter, the temperatures are finally on the rise and the birds are finally on migration. It's March 15, 2025 as I sit down to write this, I'm looking out my front window, here Brantford, Ontario to bright blue skies and hearing Northern Cardinals in full song, a sure sign of spring and the migration season to come. I hope you are all in the spring migration spirit, shedding those layers and putting on your fancy spring birding plumage.  As for me, I just switch from fleece lined cargo pants to regular cargo pants, and of course, my biggest plumage change is from a winter fur fedora to a straw, summer fedora. So, welcome to the first episode of Season 3.  Being an Ontario birder myself, I figured there's no better place to start than with one of Ontario's most respected birders, Jean Iron. Many of you have met Jean at a hawk watch at Lynn shores in the fall, out at Niagara, looking for gulls in the winter or at Point Peel National Park in the spring. You may have met her, but now you'll get a chance to know her. I first ran into Jean early in January 2012 on one of my first rare bird chases to see a King Eider, and she taught me a valuable lesson that I have taken to heart ever since, and it was a lesson she also learned early in her birding life. Thanks for taking the time come visit and enjoy the show.   Oh, while you're here, I'd like to ask you to please check out my new book, “Have you a Seagull?” on Apple Books, for C$4.99 https://books.apple.com/us/book/have-you-seen-a-seagull/id6742723612 It's a great book to read with your kids teach them about the wide variety of birds many of us call “seagulls,” and perhaps spark their journey into birding. As of this recording, it's only available on Apple books, but will be available on other digital platforms soon and hopefully in print before too long.  50% of all digital sales will go to bird conservation efforts, so, if not for me, get it for the birds and for the next generation of birders. Thanks again.

Why U.S. And Canadian Mortgages Work So Differently   Ever wondered why U.S. home buyers can secure a 30-year fixed mortgage, while Canadians typically renew every five years? In this video, we dive into the unique structures of Canadian and American mortgage systems, focusing on interest rate risks, tax implications, and equity growth. In Canada, lenders prefer shorter terms to manage rates, unlike in the U.S., where government-backed institutions like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac support 30-year terms. U.S. homeowners enjoy tax-deductible mortgage interest, while Canadians benefit from tax-free profit on the sale of a primary residence. This encourages faster equity growth in Canada, despite fewer refinancing options. For Canadian buyers curious about mortgage differences, watch to understand how Canada's system promotes stability and builds equity quickly.

Are You Waiting for Interest Rates to Drop Before Buying Your Next Home? Think Again. If you're holding off on buying your next home because you're waiting for interest rates to drop, it might be time to reconsider. While it's natural to want the best deal, waiting for rates to decrease could end up costing you more than you think. Here are five reasons why acting now might be a smarter move. 1. Market Timing Is Unpredictable Trying to time the market is like predicting the weather—it's nearly impossible. By holding out for lower rates, you might miss out on finding the perfect home. Meanwhile, home prices could continue to rise, and inventory might shrink, making it even harder to find the right property. There's no guarantee that rates will come down anytime soon, and you could find yourself priced out of the market while you wait. 2. The Cost of Waiting The longer you wait, the more you could end up paying. If rates eventually drop, home prices are likely to rise due to increased demand. The home you can afford today might be out of reach tomorrow. Additionally, by postponing your purchase, you're missing out on the chance to start building equity. Every month that passes is another missed opportunity to invest in your future. 3. Refinancing Is an Option If rates do eventually drop, refinancing your mortgage is always an option. Refinancing can lower your monthly payments or reduce the total interest paid over the life of the loan. This means you don't have to wait for lower rates to buy now—you can take advantage of better rates later without losing the opportunity to purchase a home today. 4. Consider Legitimate Reasons to Wait If you have valid reasons to delay your purchase, like needing more time on the job, credit issues, or lack of funds for a down payment, it's essential to address those first. However, there are potential solutions, such as getting a co-signer or receiving a gift from family, that could help you overcome these hurdles. If these options aren't feasible, focus on improving your financial position so you can buy when you're truly ready. 5. Take Control of Your Future If your only hesitation is interest rates, consider this: waiting for the perfect moment could mean missing it altogether. Don't let the fear of higher rates stop you from buying your dream home. Instead, focus on what you can control—like finding the right home that meets your needs today. If you're financially ready, don't wait for rates to drop. Act now, and start building your future. And if you're not quite there yet, that's okay. Let's work together to get you prepared so you can buy with confidence when the time is right. Take the Next Step Today! Ready to explore your options? Let's discuss how you can make your homeownership dreams a reality—whether it's now or in the near future. Contact me today for a no-obligation consultation, and let's put a plan in place to help you buy with confidence.   Don't let the market dictate your future. Take control of your home-buying journey—reach out now and start building your future today! Call Walter Monteiro at 519-240-0360. Thank you for watching.

It used to be that podcast downloads were the main data point podcasters would use to track their growth. The thinking was, get X amount of downloads per month and sponsors will jump at you with wallets full of cash. While that may have been the way back in the day, today's success metrics looks a lot different when it comes to podcast success. In this special live recording of In & Around Podcasting from PodSummit YYC 2024 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Danny is joined by Kattie Laur and Tim Truax to talk about how you can take advantage of them, and reframe your thinking and discussion around monetization and sponsorship.Takeaways: The podcasting industry is evolving, and metrics should extend beyond just downloads. Engaged listeners are more valuable than sheer download numbers when seeking sponsorships. Indie podcasters should focus on local sponsorships to create meaningful monetization opportunities. Understanding your audience's engagement can help shape your content and sponsorship strategies. Value for value models allow listeners to support creators without traditional sponsorships. Experimenting with different ad formats can improve listener retention and engagement rates.

I believe that we are all connected by these invisible threads, the shared sinew amongst all living things, that includes humans, plants, animals, what have you, and that what art is, is the lighting up, making those invisible threads visible. … It doesn't really explain in that analogy what art is, but it certainly speaks to the way it functions and why it should matter to society : why arts should matter.In this episode, Robin Sokoloski (she/her) discusses her recent experiences and current work in the arts research sector with a focus on how the arts community can have meaningful impact on  climate change and on community-engaged arts, emphasizing the importance of relationships and collaboration in creating impactful art that resonates with communities.Robin has been working in the arts and culture sector for over twenty years. I remember her coming to us while I was working at Canada Council with this crazy idea for Mass Culture and 20 years later it is wonderful organization where she is Director of Programming and Research of Mass Culture, where Robin is working with academics, funders and arts practitioners to support a thriving arts community by mobilizing the creation, amplification and community informed analysis of research.My last conversation with Robin Sokoloski was e61 from research to action in 2021. This time we focused on the end of the world as we know it and the role of art came up, including how to use tools such as the Living Climate-Impact Framework for the Arts project, (see e195 emma bugg - art, scholarship and environment for details) and how to better mobilise the arts sector around climate change. Robin, who is a co-founder of SCALE and a leading voice in the Canadian arts service organisation climate action movement and I like her ideas: We're so good at bringing people together and having conversations, as an arts community, on a very surface level about very serious, complex issues. But we need the tools beyond just facilitation and different convening models. We actually need measuring sticks or whatever is at our disposal that we can feel confident in to be able to have those deeper level conversations. And that's what this framework does. I'm noticing as I'm bringing the art service organizations together around these conversations around climate, it's been very focused on climate mitigation. Fine, fair enough. I think that's a very important and valuable thing to be aware of. But now, whether we like it or not, we're at a point where we need to start thinking about climate adaptation. And this is a new frontier for me. I know it's also a very new space for the funders. And so what I think we need to be able to do, and what I feel very proud of what we're starting to achieve, is bringing both the funders together with different actors within the arts community to apply tools like Emma's framework to have these deep conversations about how we can move towards action. What does this look like for us now? What changes do we need to make?Robin also believes in community-engaged arts and the in ‘walking her talk' by integrating participatory processes in everything she does: Community engaged arts is really a set of principles that I have completely been able to live by throughout my career. So fortunately, specifically within mass culture, I align community engaged arts very closely to a methodology within academia called participatory action research. And what's so relevant and how I feel that community engaged arts can have a real significant impact on art and climate is because of these principles which always rate relationships above anything else. After our conversation, I wrote to a friend that ‘Robin is one of the holders of key knowledge for the future of the arts in this country' and I think she's just getting started. *Sections of the podcast (generated by AI and reviewed by Claude Schryer)Welcome BackIn this introductory chapter, Claude welcomes Robin back to the podcast after three years, setting the stage for an engaging conversation about art, climate change, and community arts.Introducing Robin SokoloskiRobin shares her background, including her roots in Brantford, Ontario, and her role as the director of Mass Culture, emphasizing the importance of understanding the art sector's impact on society and the environment.The Climate Crisis and Art's RoleThe discussion shifts to the current climate crisis, with Robin reflecting on her work related to environmental issues and how the arts community can contribute to meaningful change.Living Climate Framework for the ArtsRobin explains the Living Climate Framework for the arts, a tool designed to help the arts community navigate complex conversations about climate action and its intersection with art.Barriers to Engagement in the ArtsThe conversation delves into the barriers faced by arts organizations in addressing climate change, highlighting the need for deeper discussions and tools to facilitate meaningful engagement.Community Engaged ArtsRobin discusses the principles of community engaged arts, emphasizing the importance of relationships and collaboration in creating impactful art that resonates with communities.The Future of Arts in a Changing WorldThe discussion turns to the future of community arts in the face of societal changes, exploring how arts can foster solidarity and cooperation in local communities.Arts as Meaning MakersRobin reflects on the role of the arts in making meaning of the world, especially in a time when trust in information is crucial, and how artists can narrate diverse truths.Recommended Reads and ResourcesRobin shares her current reading list, including insights from research on civic impact in the arts and the importance of experience design in bringing people together. *END NOTES FOR ALL EPISODESI've been producing the conscient podcast as a learning and unlearning journey since May 2020 on un-ceded Anishinaabe Algonquin territory (Ottawa).
