If you're a nonprofit leader looking for strategies to help your organization retain more employees, then give this episode a listen. I sat down with special guest and founder of Balanced Good, Lacey Kempinski, to chat about how her organization is partnering with nonprofits to provide parental leave coverage. She dove into how she supports nonprofits with parental leave, the implications of a weak parental leave policy, and how to plan for parental leave. Lacey also discussed the challenges of working parents in the nonprofit sector. This was such a good episode that all nonprofit leaders will benefit from.    About Lacey Lacey Kempinski is an in-house fundraiser, turned Mom, turned consultant. After more than a decade of in-house fundraising, Motherhood changed the trajectory of Lacey's career. In 2018, when she was due back to work after her second parental leave, Lacey took a leap and founded Balanced Good. She's on a mission to better support parents and organizations in the non-profit sector. Balanced Good provides parental leave coverage – from the day-to-day hands-on work to big picture transition planning – Balanced Good believes that a supported transition to parenthood will benefit both our sector and the parents working in it. Lacey has a bold vision that all parental leaves are viewed as a celebrated life milestone and not a feared employment gap. As a graduate from McMaster University, and Georgian College's Fundraising and Resource Development Program, she loves continuing to immerse herself in all things fundraising. While also balancing that with LEGO building, endless folding of laundry, and a love for hiking, canoeing, and all things outdoors.   Read the podcast transcript here.   Episode Summary In this episode, you'll learn strategies for how your nonprofit can support employees with their parental leave, including:  Supporting nonprofits with their parental leave journey (4:15) How parental leave is typically covered (8:35) The process and cost of covering parental leave (11:45) The implications of not having a strong parental leave policy (16:40) How an organization plans for parental leave (19:20) Getting the team up to speed and making a meaningful impact (22:00) Upholding strong boundaries (24:30) Challenges of working parents in the nonprofit sector (28:05) Trends in organizational culture and flexibility (30:15)   Teasers “It's just repeating this culture of martyrdom that we love to have in our sector of our plates are already full, but we'll take on more because it's for the cause. And that's really not good. And there's long-term organizational cost to that.” “We put together a couple of recommendations on how that role can be more working parent-friendly. So that person can thrive in their role when they come back. And then we provide some overlap and transition because we know just jumping in is really hard to do.” “I think a lot of times people think in a short-sighted way, ‘I don't want to have to pay for two salaries for three to six months, so we're just going to deal with it and put more work on other people.' But I think what they don't understand are the longer term ramifications of that, of continuing to just pile work on your existing team.”   Resources The Best Tools for an Efficient & Prosperous Nonprofit: https://100degreesconsulting.com/tools/  Parental Leave Planning Workbook: https://icy-base-20781.myflodesk.com/1986644d-75ba-476f-a37f-788cd7e5d48d  Connect with Lacey on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceykempinski/   Follow Balanced Good on Instagram: @balancedgood Keep up to date with the podcast: @100degreesconsulting Follow Stephanie on Instagram: @stephanie.skry/  Connect with Stephanie on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephanieskryzowski/  Visit the podcast page: https://100degreesconsulting.com/parental-leave Want more of the podcast?

Reflecting on the meaning of reconciliation, Monague says:  “We can't think about conservation if we don't live or try to live that conservation…We're not doing that enough. In Canada, the government needs to do more. If it is reconciliation that they're talking about, then they need to do more...Reconciliation won't happen if all of your partners are not included. Let's say we're going to spend $30 million on a project and then we'll give 1% of that to First Nations. That's not reconciliation.”  About today's guest Jeff Monague is a member of the Beausoleil First Nation on Christian Island and currently resides near Coldwater, Ont.

Episode 44 is out today with guest Anna Julia! Anna Julia found her way towards aviation when she finally began to listen to her inner voice. "There was never really any sign or indication to follow a career in aviation, I just travelled a lot. It felt like I was raised on an airplane and would always find a sense of comfort when I would watch the flight attendants". She followed the “expected” path of going to university after high school. Though she followed that path, she still wanted something interesting and exciting. Having graduated with a bachelor's degree from UofT in Human Evolution, and Archeology, she found herself dreaming about travel. “Whenever I would go on archeological excavations, I was more excited for the plane ride and new destination. I figured I was meant to be in the sky." She left Archeology and applied to be a flight attendant. Only to find herself back in school at Georgian College working towards the Aviation Management program. “It just made sense; school makes sense to me.”  Fast forward a few years later, Anna Julia now works in Airport Operations.  Anna can be found on instagram @annajulia.xo and on linkedin as Anna Julia S.

I can't believe that in the year of our Dua Lipa 2022 we STILL don't know shit around HIV/AIDS (callin' you out on your shit, DaB*by). What's a gay to do when HIV is literally all we talk about in our community? Invite a hunky pharmacist who knows all about it! Andrew Schonbe, a.k.a. Pharmacist Drew, of the Ontario Prevention Clinic pops in on location from his clinic to demystify HIV, PrEP, being undetectable, and that it is in fact safe to swallow cum! Hallelujah!Pharmacist Drew is a certified HIV Pharmacist and completed his pharmacy education at The University of Toronto. Before launching The PrEP Clinic, he was the pharmacist-owner of central Ontario's only Safer Space and LGBTQ+ focused pharmacy. He currently teaches at Georgian College educating future healthcare professionals on empathy, sexual health, and fighting HIV stigma.While Drew's prior pharmacy provided a weekly PrEP Clinic, he would get calls from all over Ontario wanting the service. This led him to want to break down barriers and provide a consistent high-quality service that anyone could access no matter where they lived in Ontario. In 2019, he launched The PrEP Clinic and the rest is history. He is proud to have expanded access and care to more people than before in this innovative and effective way. Pharmacist Drew regularly presents to other healthcare professionals across Canada on LGBTQ+ inclusivity in healthcare practice and on encouraging PrEP and HIV care uptake. He previously was the recipient of a Canada-wide pharmacy award for his role in supporting patient sexual health. His prior pharmacy was also awarded with the Reader's Choice Pharmacy of the Year Award and Simcoe Pride's Business of the Year award. In 2020 he co-authored a national guide for pharmacists on PrEP and PEP. Many pharmacists currently working in PrEP care have been educated on PrEP because of Drew, including other online PrEP service providers. He is a firm believer education should be universal and no one should be left out of the conversation when it comes to HIV. Drew is passionate on fighting stigma, especially on spreading the U=U message.Follow Drew's socials!Instagram: @theprepclinicWebsite: https://www.preventionclinic.ca/Email: timlagman@sexedwithtim.com______________________________________________________________________________How to support this show!Go to dalekuda.com and use code SEXEDWITHTIM at checkout for 25% off your entire purchase plus free shipping.Go to goodforher.com and use code SEXEDWITHTIM10 at checkout for 10% off your order of any toys online.

His whole life suddenly had to change as he embarked on a journey on learning how to live a fulfilled life after the accident. After spending months in rehab learning to work his body in new ways, and learning to use his new equipment, Rich found himself again in sports and athletics - albeit now he had to also redefine training as a para athlete. Rich got involved in just about as many sports as he could - rowing, tennis, cycling, swimming, skiing, and mountain biking. Sport and athletics is still an essential part of Rich's life. Rich has represented Canada in rowing, tennis, and alpine skiing and is currently training for a triathlon event.  Rich became a recreation therapist and advocate for people who have suffered serious injury or medical conditions after being inspired by his own rehab team.

“People have been cooped up and they want to spend. And this is so bullish for the economy, I believe, over the next year. I think people are still dramatically underappreciating how strong the economy is going to be.“ – Ben Rabidoux    Connect with Ben Rabidoux: LinkedIn Twitter Selected links and people mentioned in this episode: North Cove Advisors Edge Realty Analytics Georgian College B20 Core Development Group Wilful Blindness by Sam Cooper Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel Edge Analytics newsletter Connect with REIN Canada REIN Canada CEO@reincanada.com REIN Channel Facebook Instagram Twitter SHOW NOTES [02:08] Patrick introduces his next TEDM guest and fellow research aficionado: Ben Rabidoux. [03:03] The Ben and Patrick Economic Road Show gets rolling! Ben apprises us of what he does in the world of business, and the product he provides for real estate professionals through Edge Realty Analytics. [08:40] Ben describes how he came to the intensive space of research and analysis with North Cove Advisors and Edge Realty Analytics. With a background in human physical geography, he made a stop at the teaching station with Georgian College which gave him access to great institutional academic data so he started posting thoughts on the economy. Requests for consulting work soon began and he quickly realized a research product was in demand. Ben also explains his previous concerns about the dynamics of the housing market and how his outlook changed after B20 and the failure of the foreign buyer's tax to generate a significant impact. With a decline in single family inventory, he found it difficult to see a meaningful slow down with active listings at 30-year lows. [16:23] Reminder: national economic and housing headlines are not necessarily indicative of regional economic climates! In 2018, large Canadian centres were seeing a lack of supply and high demand in the condos markets as young people were flocking to the city. Inevitably as life evolved this would lead to increased single-family demand, and a dramatic lack of supply was showing up; 2020 simply exacerbated that reality. [18:34] Ben provides insights from his research into housing inventory over the past five years. The supply underwent a dramatic drop, and he talks about why this occurred. [23:06] Single family detached space continues to be underdeveloped and the demand, whether rental or home ownership, is high. It's an interesting opportunity for investors whether they are in the cycle of selling inventory, or still playing the long game and holding for future gains. Mortgage paydown is always a reliable piece of an investor's strategy. [28:30] Patrick and Ben bandy about the true viability of large corporate builders who endeavour to develop large-scale single-family rentals. They each hold a slightly different view of that concept aside from agreement on the governmental bureaucratic barriers. [33:33] This segues into another component of increased demand for and speculation on single-family housing which is population, immigration targets, and foreign capital flows. [36:00] A breather in sales is the result of several things including the summer season, and fatigue from the state of the world over the past 18 months. It's all relative though as Ben explains, because the first quarter of 2021 hit such a statistical peak that although a slow down is happening, the market is still incredibly strong. Inventory supply on a national level (we know, national stats are misleading...) are at a record low. [40:18] Throwing a pandemic into the spokes of a typically predictable real estate cycle analysis, can turn that predictability on its head. Ben provides data he has researched and reported on as a starting point to explain the confusion of a Canadian housing market run-up during such an unusual recession. Part of it is a result of unprecedented actions by the Canadian government together with unprecedented ca...

This conversation gave us goosebumps the entire time we were having it. The work that Michele O'Brien & Angie King are doing with Virtual Reality is so important and so beautiful that it's hard to explain how it made us feel to be having it... give this episode a listen to hear about the amazing things these two women are doing at Georgian College to preserve and teach the Anishnaabemowin language and culture. It was an important reminder to us as to why we started this podcast and why we're hard at work to bring immersive technology to education, and we don't think you'll be able to listen to this interview without feeling as excited as we are about the power of VR for good. Michele & Angie are two amazing people we are immensely blessed to know, and we want you to hear about what they're working on because we think it will give you hope like it's given us.

Both parents immigrated from Hong Kong. Emily used to put label stickers on boxes at the shop when she was little. Enjoyed spending time with him. Learned math by playing blackjack with him. The integrity of business- miscommunication will happen but everything is a discussion/conversation. Worked through racial discrimination by not having a victim mindset. Emily has a commitment to purchase from the “jobbers” instead of buying directly from dad- respects the channel  Being an entrepreneur-"Kids will never remember the extra hours you put into work, they'll remember the extra hours you spent with them" COVID was a blessing in disguise, being able to spend more time with family.  Watching a live game vs highlight reel- the highs and lows of a game when you don't know the final outcome can seem overwhelming, but when you're watching a highlight reel and you know the score it doesn't hit as hard. In the end, everything is going to work out. Our day-to-day lives is only a small data point in the big picture. Mistakes are learning opportunities if you pay attention.

GUEST'S NAME: Danielle BensonCULINARY SCHOOL AFFILIATION: Georgian College, Ontario, CanadaBIO: Chef Danielle Benson is from Ontario, Canada and first got started in the culinary industry in 2015. She had been looking to find a better relationship with food and control over food after struggling with mental health and an eating disorder. Chef Benson wanted to take her love of food and cooking to the next level, so she enrolled in culinary school at the Owen Sound campus of Georgian College where she learned a lot about culinary techniques. While only there for one year, she feels she learned the basics, however she was left wanting to learn more!Chef Benson's philosophy is that food is not only what fuels our bodies, but is also a creative outlet, and therefore knowing how to prepare it should be general knowledge. As a result, she created and hosts the Kitchen Survival Guide podcast. The first series of the show's episodes focuses on food culture and history to help the listeners understand where their food comes from and how it has affected humanity throughout the years. Danielle plans for the show to eventually evolve into sharing culinary techniques, food science, and much, much, more. As a stay at home mother of 3, Danielle's love of food and cooking is currently focused on her family, her podcast, and as a budding entrepreneur selling Epicure spices and cookware from home. Websites:www.ksgpodcast.comwww.savourfood.caFree Culinary School Stories Recipe eBook: https://bit.ly/culinaryschoolrecipes Sign up for our email list / newsletter: https://chefroche.com/contact RATINGS / REVIEW: If you enjoy this episode or the podcast overall, please consider leaving a short review and ratings on Apple Podcasts / iTunes if you have an iPhone or iPad.

In December, we at rabble.ca asked "What are the organizations that inspire you? Who are the activists leading progressive change? Who are the rabble rousers to watch in 2021?" And you responded. Over the next while, we'll be running both print and audio features about the people and organizations you nominated. Follow our rabble rousers to watch here. We begin our podcast series with a nomination from Barrie, Ontario. In fact, there were several nominations from Barrie, one for the organization you're about to hear from. rabble podcast producer Victoria Fenner was especially interested in the Barrie nominees because she lived in Barrie for the past five years. She can personally attest that it is a very tough place to be a progressive. She says, "After all, it's the only place east of Manitoba that ever elected a Reform party MP. It's solid Conservative country ... and we're not talking red Tories here. But, there is change afoot, and progressive people are starting to come out of the woodwork." There are many communities like this in Canada, so talking to the nominees from Barrie could be useful for other communities of a similar political stripe. Our two guests today talk about what they, and other Barrie residents, are doing to shift the dynamic through the organization called Engage Barrie, one of the rabble rousers organization nominees. Our guests today are: Alyssa Wright -- Alyssa was also nominated in her own right for the work she has been doing in Barrie on a wide range of issues. She describes herself as "musician, writer, educator, advocate, activist, actor, and wearer of far too many hats." In the conservative city of Barrie, Alyssa has connected a community of progressives who are eager for change. She is one of the organizers for Engage Barrie, an initiative designed to reconnect a community with its local politics. She is also an advocate for installing a supervised consumption site in Barrie -- what would be the city's first. Alyssa is also a cello player, and it's her life mission to use arts to tackle difficult issues. She's currently co-writing a musical theatre feminist manifesto, in response to Barrie being rated 2019's "Worst City to be a Woman" by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives. (A title she reckons the city will win again for 2020). "This past year has shown me that there is more compassion in this community than is evidenced in our political leadership," says Alyssa. The people of this city have shown me that there are lots more reasons for optimism than despair."  Brandon Rhéal Amyot is an activist, writer, and life-long learner. Growing up in Simcoe County for most of their life, they have been involved in various causes and communities over the past 10 years, with a specific focus on the 2SLGBTQ+ community, Indigenous community, the student movement, and local causes. Brandon Rhéal is in their third year of the interdisciplinary studies degree at Lakehead University's Orillia Campus with disciplines in political science and media studies. At Lakehead they have been involved with campus life, most recently as a board member on the Lakehead University Student Union. Brandon Rhéal also has a diploma in Aboriginal Community and Social Development from Georgian College. Brandon Rhéal was a founding member of Fierté Simcoe Pride. In their time with the organization, Brandon served in several roles ending in their time as president (2017- 2019). Shortly after helping form Fierté Simcoe Pride, they served a term as student trustee at the Simcoe County District School Board.  A note about our theme music: The theme music featured in the podcast is a composition by rabble.ca's parliamentary reporter Karl Nerenberg. It's called La Touladie en hiver. In Karl's own words -- "It is a tune that came to me while walking in the Hampton Park woods, near our house. I was thinking of a grey, December day, and of appropriately languorous, not-rushed and not-too-complicated music. My ridiculous mind then made the leap from a grey day to the grey trout, the large member of the trout/salmon/char family that was once plentiful in most of the Great Lakes, then was almost destroyed by invasive, parasitic sea lampreys, but is now coming back. It is a winter fish. It thrives in cold water in fact. Grey trout are especially happy that, in winter, they can swim casually in shallow waters where the little fish they like to eat live. In summer, grey trout need to go deep, where the water is cold enough for them -- but where there are few little fish (which prefer warmer water). In the deeps, all they have to eat, pretty much, is plankton. In Quebec, they most often call the grey trout le touladi, a word of uncertain origin, but most likely Indigenous."

In 2018, as part of a special pilot program, Georgian College in southern Ontario recruited students almost exclusively from northern India, to help fill a desperate need for labour in hotels and resorts. Specifically, in the nearby ski town of Collingwood. The students have invested everything in the dream of permanent residency in Canada. For Harpreet Kaur Insan and Gurleen Singh, it's also about the dream of living their lives to their full potential, something neither of them feel they could have done had they stayed in India. But will they really find this opportunity here, in a snowy ski town a world away from everything they know?

Vince Beretta, Founder of Walkaway.ca. Vince weighs in on the growing epidemic in the car business, "negative equity". Plus, Jason Dale from Automotive Business School of Canada at Georgian College.

The title of today's show, Pushing Up the Sidewalk, was inspired by rabble blogger Lizanne Foster. Lizanne's blog on rabble is called Education in the age of climate change. She's a high school teacher in B.C. who shares some of her thoughts about working creatively in a regimented education system. Three educators from three levels of education — secondary school, college and university — talk about changing the landscape of education. Pushing up sidewalks, creating cracks in concrete. 1.)  Lizanne Foster: Lizanne's blog focuses on education from a very specific angle — she talks about education and climate change. She wrote an article which was posted on August 8 where she asked the question “Are schools preparing today's students for tomorrow's problems?” 2.) Tim Green: Back in the days of old, the difference between university and college was distinct. If you wanted a more broad education, you went to university. If you wanted to fix cars or become a dental hygenist, you went to college. The lines between college and university have blurred since then. Tim Green teaches environmental studies, philosophy and critical thinking at Georgian College in Barrie Ontario. He talks to rabble radio about what colleges are doing to help students ask the big questions. 3.) Erin Soros: Erin is a writer and scholar currently appointed as an Andrew Mellon postdoctoral fellow at the University of Toronto's Jackman Humanities Institute. She researches collective trauma and teaches courses on literature and psychoanalysis, and literature and human rights. She's also done a lot of thinking about how universities do, and don't, accommodate students with mental disabilities.
