HORROR WITH SIR. STURDY EPISODE 546 WHO SURVIVES? FINAL CHAPTER VS WELCOME TO RACCOON CITY

The Donoghue Girl (Latitude 46, 2024) is heart-wrenching historical fiction from beloved Canadian author, Kim Fahner. .With her incomparable ability to create immersive worlds, Fahner tells the story of an Irish Catholic family in a Northern Ontario mining town almost a hundred years ago. Willful, headstrong Lizzie is our relatable protagonist and we follow her through an uncertain courtship, a difficult pregnancy, an absent husband, and family expectations that threaten to undo her. The result is a riveting tale that transports us back in time, while also encouraging us to examine patriarchal systems and expectations that continue to shape and subjugate the lives of women today. With an unforgettable cast of characters and a gripping take on Canadian history, Fahner has gifted us a complex and moving tale in The Donoghue Girl. More About The Donoghue Girl: Longing for a life bigger than the one she inhabits, Lizzie Donoghue thinks she's found a simple escape route in Michael Power, but soon discovers that she might have been mistaken… The Donoghue Girl is the story of Lizzie Donoghue, the spirited daughter of Irish immigrants who desperately wants to not only escape Creighton—the Northern Ontario mining town where her family runs a general store—but also the oppressive confines of twentieth-century patriarchy.

On this episode of The Construction Record Podcast™, digital media editor Warren Frey speaks with Residential Construction Council of Ontario president Richard Lyall about the federal government's Fall Economic Statement, introduced by deputy prime minister and finance minister Chrystia Freeland on Nov 21. Lyall reflected on the parts of the statement of benefit to the residential construction industry, including a substantial focus on housing including billions committed to increasing supply. However he cautioned what's needed to truly see change is a housing ‘Marshall Plan' involving all three levels of government coordinated to identify where housing is needed and what sort of housing should be built. He also said the housing crisis is not an ideological problem but rather a reflection of market inefficiency and a tendency in previous decades to focus on high-rises when what's needed is additional mid and low-rise buildings in addition to high-rise stock. In Daily Commercial news and Journal of Commerce headlines, Construction stakeholders are calling for swift action from the Ontario government to address confusion over the health and safety responsibilities of municipal project owners in the wake of the controversial Supreme Court of Canada decision in R. v. Greater Sudbury. We also have another story from the Canadian Council for Public Private Partnerships P3 conference in Toronto about a panel that examined both the successes and challenges of the Eglinton Crosstown West Extension project. From the west, we highlight the Wascana Pool in Regina, which is setting a new standard in Canada by focusing on inclusivity and accessibility, and in both publications John Bleasby's Inside Innovation column looks at both the advantages and risks of drones in construction and our Brownfield Remediation Feature includes a story from Dan O'Reilly about the Birchley Park development, termed a “brownfield gem” in Toronto's Quarry Lands. You can listen to The Construction Record on the Daily Commercial News and Journal of Commerce websites as well as on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Amazon Music's podcast section. Our previous podcast with Angela Gismondi's interviews with Dara Calleary, Ireland's minister of state for trade promotion, digital and company regulation, about the launch of the Ireland-Canada Construction Network, an initiative to share products, skills, and innovations between the two nations is here. Thanks for listening.

In 2019 her essay Options was included in an anthology, Against Death—35 Essays on Living, published by Anvil Press of Vancouver. In 2020 her haiku placed third in the Martin Lucas Award for Haiku in England. Vera's early writing coered a ten year span as a humour columnist. Her weekly column appeared in several Northern Ontario Community newspapers. Vera is the author of Daisy Chained, a collection of short fiction, three lines at a time, a chapbook of haiku that has gotten excellent reviews. Vera is the Haiku Canada Regional Representative for Ontario and a member of the Haiku Society of America, a member and past president of the Sudbury Writers' Guild as well as a member of NOWW Thunder Bay.

The City of Greater Sudbury contracted Interpaving Limited to repair utilities and to repave streets affected by the repairs. An employee of Interpaving Limited operating a road grader struck and killed a pedestrian who was attempting to cross a street in the construction zone. Safety measures required by legislation were not in place. The Ministry of Labour charged the City as a “constructor” and an “employer” under the Occupational Health and Safety Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. 0.1, and Construction Projects, O. Reg. 213/9. The Ontario Court of Justice acquitted the City on all charges. The Ontario Superior Court of Justice dismissed an appeal. The Court of Appeal granted leave to appeal in respect of the three charges against the City as an employer and set aside the acquittals on those charges. The Crown conceded that the factual findings to determine guilt on one count had not been made at trial. The Court of Appeal remanded the case to the Ontario Superior Court of Justice to hear an appeal raising whether the City had established a defence of due diligence in respect of the other two charges. Argued Date 2022-10-12 Keywords Provincial offences - Provincial offences — Occupational health and safety — Whether the owner of a construction project which had contracted the construction out to a third party to act as the constructor was the employer pursuant to s. 1(1) of the Occupational Health and Safety Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. 0.1, and responsible for workplace safety?

The housing market in Ontario is off the charts right now. In the latest episode of Inside the Village, Michael Friscolanti and Scott Sexsmith try to get some clarity as to why from Tim Hudak, CEO of the Ontario Real Estate Association.

And the city of Greater Sudbury has made a bold decision: to close all comments on its Facebook page. Ed Archer, the city's CAO, explains why that move is long overdue.

Hey Sudbury! Welcome back to another episode of Selling the Rock! Today we have both David and Tristan on the mic to give you your weekly market wrap up! From a real estate perspective, we continue the trend of more listings than sales that we’ve seen in the last few weeks (good news for buyers); in addition to that, the stats across the board were down week-over-week compared to the last few weeks and well below the post-covid averages. My 5 takeaways this week are: The slowdown continues in the marketplace this week. For the 4th week in a row, we’ve seen more listings hit the market than were sold; which continues to increase the selection for potential buyers. As a buyer in the recent marketplace; they have come accustomed to sellers ‘holding off offers’ and dealing with a bidding war/multiple offer frenzy come the seller's selected offer date. While multiple offers are still continuing (61% of sales this week were in a bidding war); it seems listing agents are getting more desperate for offers to come to the table on their offer date. Multiple times this week, I showed places that held off offers and the listing agent was calling me on offer date letting me know they have no offers and sellers would love to have one to work with. Numbers are down across the board this week, in all 3 major categories (New Listings, Sales and Conditional Deals). I’ve chatted about this in past weekly updates but the idea that ‘Winter-is-Coming’ is clearly having the seasonality impact that reduces activity in our local market every year. Sellers signing a 3-month listing now (and the scary thought of signing a 6-month listing for those agents that push that) bring us through Christmas and into 2021! The countdown is on now where we have 5-6 weeks left in this market until we are dealing with showings in the freezing temperatures and snowstorms. There are currently 10 waterfront homes available in Sudbury’s waterfront Hot-Spot (Southend/Long Lake road area). I reviewed the list prices and 50% of them are priced in the Ultra-Luxury Price Point, starting at 1.5M and going all the way to just under 5M! The other 5 that are on the ‘affordable scale’ include a fixer-upper around the 400k mark, and then jumping to the 700k-ish type of value. There is clearly a grand-divide between average house prices and waterfront home prices in this market; and this seems like something that isn’t going to go away any time soon, this gap in prices will more than likely just continue to increase. We are currently sitting at 274 active listings in the City of Greater Sudbury. And typically, as we transition from the Summer to Winter market we will see a decrease in the available listings by about 25% (leaving roughly 75% of the number of listings over the winter months). If this trend continues we could easily see our total listings in the range of 200 or so listings available on the market. This would be extreme lows for the Sudbury marketplace, which may mean that the winter market may actually be stronger than we have seen in past years. There are a lot of unknowns as we prepare for the first COVID-winter market, but it's clear that the rest of the province's real estate market continues massive growth year-over-year, and it almost feels like Sudbury numbers are coming up short versus a lot of our Southern Ontario marketplaces. We are typically a few years behind the trends we are seeing in S.Ont. and if the strong price growth continues there, we could be headed towards a strong long-term picture for our local market! All the best and we’ll check in with you next week!

Hey, why is this out so early? Well, because Isabelle has singing practice. Also, this one’s a little shorter than usual because I went to the LCBO yesterday. I think spring might be here! Then again, yesterday smelled a lot like Christmas. The term is over. I’m pretty excited about that. Isabelle’s trip to Halifax is coming up. Then it’s my trip to Florida. So, there might not be an episode next week. In fact almost certainly there won’t be. Isabelle went to Sudbury recently. She reports that it feels like lots of places patched together. That is because it is! ‘Greater Sudbury’ (which sounds ominous to me) was created I think at the end of the 90s. It’s the biggest, by area, city in Canada.
