Food4Kids Muskoka sends a food bag home with kids in need every friday. The non-profit wants to make sure no child goes hungry over the weekend. With demand growing, they will soon offer their program to Gravenhurst and Bracebridge. Kristie Shaver, the marketing and communications manager at Food4Kids Muskoka, joined us to talk all about it. Birthdays..Graduations... These are events we think of as milestones in a child's life worthy of throwing a party. But, on social media, some parents are finding smaller victories to celebrate in a big way. They are calling these "inch-stones". Sara Dimerman, a psychologist and author of "How to Influence our Kids for Good", joined us to share her thoughts on this trendy celebration.The sandhill crane is a bird that was almost wiped out by hunters decades ago. But now that its numbers have made a comeback in the province, the federal government might allow it to be hunted again. Some biologists argue this is a bad idea, while others think the bird's population can sustain hunting. We spoke to Matthew Robbins, a wildlife biologist with the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, about the situation.

Two years after a powerful tornado swept through Barrie, homes may have been rebuilt, and life returned to normal, but fear and anxiety remain for some. A team of researchers from York University are trying to understand the impact of the event through a new survey. Jennifer Spinney , an Assistant Professor in the Disaster and Emergency Management Program at York University, spoke with us on the matter. It's only just past mid July, but Gravenhurst is already looking forward to next summer. Municipal Heritage Committees from across the province will come to town for the annual Ontario Heritage Conference.This is the first time Gravenhurst has won its bid to host next summer and the Town of Gravenhurst's Manager of Economic Development, Amy Taylor, was elated to tell us.

Jewish summer camps are adding mental health support to campers' daily routines

As Canadian Jewish kids begin settling into their cabins and tents at overnight camp this month, they'll find some of the camps are offering something extra: mental health support teams. Whether an on-site emotional support dog or a nighttime ritual of journaling positive achievements, camps are adding mental health components including 24-hour support professionals. They're called “camper care directors” or “spiritual coordinators”. With training and degrees in social work and child psychology, they make sure the campers (and also camp counsellors) have the emotional support they need to deal with anxiety, bullying, eating disorders, severe homesickness and other mental health challenges that arise while they spend weeks away from the familiarity of parents and home. On this episode of The CJN Daily, we speak with Toronto social worker Lynda Fishman, the camper care team lead for Camp Shalom, in Gravenhurst, Ont., about why parents shouldn't grab their car keys if they feel worried by their kids' first letter home. What we talked about Read about Canada's first summer camp for Jewish LGBTQ children opening, in The CJN Read about the fire at Camp B'nai Brith of Ottawa over the winter, in The CJN Why visitors' day was virtual at summer camps in 2022, in The CJN Credits The CJN Daily is written and hosted by Ellin Bessner (@ebessner on Twitter).

The owners of this Zionist hub in Toronto are facing lawsuits and criticism over its ‘disgusting' state of disrepair

Welcome to one of the most squalid Jewish-owned office buildings in Canada: 788 Marlee Ave. in midtown Toronto. Over the years, it's been home to countless Zionist organizations and Jewish charities—including Mazon Canada, Canadian Young Judaea, Sar-El Canada, Camp Shalom, Machane Lev summer camp, the Association for Soldiers of Israel, Canadian Friends of Yad Sarah, and more. Some tenants have been complaining for years about the conditions, including a rat infestation; mould on lobby ceilings; extensive water damage from a leaky roof and broken skylights; elevators that haven't been inspected since at least 2020; bathrooms with no lights and broken sinks; and a toilet with human feces that wasn't cleaned in eight months. The city has cited the building several times for garbage violations and uncut grass. The conditions have become so bad that at least one tenant moved out permanently in May. Others choose not to work in their offices much, except to drop off the rent. On top of it all, there are two lawsuits filed in the Ontario courts against the longtime owners of the building, the Toronto Zionist Council. Among the lengthly list of allegations in the court documents are accusations of wilful negligence, misappropriation of money (particularly by one of the directors, Paul Rotenberg, to the tune of at least $70,000), forgery, deliberate misconduct and allowing the once-proud symbol of the Zionist movement in Canada to fall into “appalling” conditions. The TZC also owns a 75-year-old summer camp in Gravenhurst, Ont., called Camp Shalom, which is also discussed in the court documents, amidst questions wondering where the money to upgrade the camp has gone. The CJN will be publishing several reports as part of this exclusive investigation. To start, on today's episode of The CJN Daily, we take you inside 788 Marlee Ave. You'll hear from Mazon's Izzy Waxman; Jessie Lash, the owner of a catering business; and Roni Perez, who served on the board of the ground-floor synagogue known as The Marlee Shul. What we talked about Take a video tour of 788 Marlee Ave. on The CJN's YouTube channel Toronto Zionist Council director Paul Rotenberg has spoken out often in favour of expanding Jewish settlements in the West Bank, including in 2016 in The CJN Read why the Canada Revenue Agency revoked charitable status of the Toronto Zionist Council's charity, the Zionist Organization of Canada Charitable Fund, in 1995, for funnelling money illegally to settlements in the West Bank A new charity has been set up with a similar name by the same directors of the Toronto Zionist Council, now called the Ontario Jewish Education Association, in Toronto, since July 24, 2020.

Don't give up. There is help and you will find your way."We're thrilled to have Wes Whetung on the podcast for this episode on the importance of ceremony and culture to manage grief, loss and many other challenges First Nations people are facing today.This conversation was sparked by the recent Thunderbird Survey on Grief and Loss Among First Nations People. And the number one thing respondents to the survey wanted was to better understand grief and loss through the lense of culture. Which is why we turned to Wes. He is a ceremony maker, Knowledge Keeper, teacher, and helper. He originates from the First Nation community of Curve Lake Ontario and resides in the community of Mississauga number 8.His training is extensive, but he says his most valuable skills are derived from the Sacred Teachings, and ceremonial healing practises of the Anishinabe Midewin. He has actively supported the Three Fires Society Midewin Lodge for over 40 years. And is currently working with Indigenous inmates at the Beaver Creek Institution in Gravenhurst, Ontario. In this smart and thoughtful conversation, Wes and Carol talk about the historical impact of the loss of land, language, identity among First Nations people, caused by Residential Schools and other forms of systemic racism.They discuss how a connection to culture helps us to move through grief and the experiences of loss. And the remedy through ceremony. What works best and what resources are available.This conversation was sparked by the recent Thunderbird Survey on Grief and Loss among First Nations People.

From The Village of Wentworth Heights in Hamilton, our first debutante on the green bench and a life-long member of a worldwide sorority, Beta Sigma Phi. Joining Beta Sigma Phi at the age of 18 in 1952, she loves the sisterhood where she learned about formal table settings, formal greetings, banquets, volunteering and more. Her Toronto Chapter (Beta Omicron) worked with Sick Kids Hospital. She used to go for weekend retreats with her sorority sisters. She named the annual ball, The Yellow Rose Ball. A yellow rose is special, it is what you gift someone who is special in your life. A Debutante is an upper-class young woman making her first appearance in fashionable society. Learning dances such as the Waltz, Foxtrot, Quick Step and more prior to attended the ball at the Royal York in Toronto. She is very proud. A swimming champ Virginia retired in 1991 from work, and decided to take up swimming at the local pool. There she saw a man who was always swimming lengths, Virginia decided that she would keep up with him. She was counting on this stranger to keep her going… it worked! In 1997, while in Florida she joined a swim team called the Silver Streaks. They were competitive and she ended up at the Huntsman Senior Games – it is like the Olympics for Seniors. There were 4,000 participants and she won a gold and six bronze medals.

Justin Evans was reported missing on December 14, 2020. The 22-year-old man was allegedly last seen at his home on December 12th in Gravenhurst, Ontario. Tragically, in May 2021, Justin's remains were found just 300 meters from where he was last seen. To this day, the medical examiner's report is at odds with the police theory of the case. In this episode, we speak with Justin's mom, Jaime, as we walk through the tragic details of this story.

Small town, big mystery. Gloria Ferris writes in several genres, but today we're talking about her Cornwall and Redfern mysteries, specifically book #3 in the series, Skull Garden. Small towns in Ontario are some of my favorite places in the world. I grew up visiting my paternal grandparents outside Gravenhurst, and now have an uncle who lives in the exact area near Lake Huron that Gloria is writing about in these books. So it was very easy for me to picture the landscape and architecture as Gloria read from her book, which was a delight. In the introduction, I also mention a class I took recently on using the Enneagram to create characters. I loved the class and it made me reflect that there is always something new to learn about writing, which I love. Sometimes it can be intimidating, but mostly I love learning and hopefully improving my craft. Today's show is supported by my patrons at Patreon. Thank you!

So, she turned to fiction writing and is now the award-winning author of the humorous Cornwall & Redfern mysteries; a co-written Suspense series; and a YA urban fantasy series. Occasionally, she writes a short story just for the heck of it. Gloria lives in southwestern Ontario and is a member of the International Thriller Writers and the Alliance of Independent Authors.

Excerpt from Skull Garden CHAPTER ONE I eased the Savage to the edge of the pavement and cut the engine. Chesley swung a lanky leg over my head and hopped off the back seat. While he checked his teeth for bugs, I spread a hand-drawn map across the seat. “It should be around here somewhere,” I told him. Consulting the compass duct-taped to my dash, I faced north and pointed to a gentle incline covered with a century’s worth of pine growth. “It might be on the other side of that hill.” Hunting for a graveyard abandoned over a hundred years ago is no easy task, especially if the township records suck. Chesley hung my spare helmet over a handlebar and tucked his chin-length hair behind his ears. “The cemetery could be inside the thicket. The undergrowth’s had plenty of time to cover the gravesites.” The June afternoon heated up, and I stripped off my helmet and jacket. “I hope not. I want to take photos of any inscriptions, count up the headstones, and call it done.” “How did Glory talk you into this? Seems odd she’d care about old burials.” “She thinks she's my boss. She assumed I’d do it on a volunteer basis.” I snorted. “As if. So, she offered me minimum wage. I refused, but made a fatal mistake. I said I’d need the rate the town was giving summer students. After an epic tantrum, she gave in and pointed me towards the municipal archives for maps.” We crossed the road and ploughed through an expanse of waist-high grass. If the cemetery was inside the gloomy stand of trees, Chesley might come in handy, to serve as bear bait. I shoved him into the lead. As interim mayor of Lockport, a town of 7,000 hardy souls on the shores of Lake Huron in Ontario, Glory Yates was on a crazy power trip. Who cared if there were burial grounds being overtaken by time in the wilds of the township? Dust to dust, right? Apparently not. She wanted them located, inventoried,

Welcome to the People's Voice Podcast. Visit us online at www.peoplesvoice.caHenry Norman Bethune was an accomplished surgeon, a communist internationalist and a forgotten hero of Canadian history. As a member of the Communist Party of Canada he fought with anti-fascist forces in Spain and later volunteered in the National Revolutionary Army of China during the Second Sino-Japanese War. He was born in Gravenhurst, Ontario on March 4, 1890, and died in the Chinese province of Hebei on November 12, 1939. Despite his enormous courage and deeply felt global solidarity, Bethune has been commemorated quite differently by his native country on the one hand, and the country for which he gave his life on the other.Read the article in full.
