Could part of the Parkway Trail in Peterborough be turned into a site for much needed affordable housing? One local councilor believes so, but not everyone agrees. This morning, Mayor Jeff Leal weighed in with his perspective. Window shopping has a whole new meaning in Owen Sound. This morning, we took a trip back in time and headed over to the Arnott General Store. After pandemic-induced demand drove cottage prices to a new high, the market is signaling a cool down. A seasoned real estate broker joined to look at the numbers, and shared his own observations. From the Kawarthas to the sea, to the UK, leading lady Jennifer Harding has been making a name for herself across the world. Now back in Ontario, our music man Jared Hillel got her story.

Jeff has been what we like to call "go getter" since the very beginning! He is one of four siblings whom were born just twenty minutes north of Kingston in the small hamlet of Battersea.     His fierce competitive spirit combined with his determination and unbeatable work ethic enabled him to excel at sports while growing up. Excelling mostly in team oriented sports lead Jeff straight to a successful career as a hockey defense man. He had outstanding results, playing in the Provincial Junior Hockey league, where he played for the Kingston Voyageurs for five years. Upon adulthood came a career! And what a career it has been! At just 23 years of age Jeff became one of the youngest members of the Kingston Real Estate Board. It was clear that Jeff has found his calling, as he has continued to thrive throughout his Real Estate Career. One of his biggest accomplishment to date came in 2005 when he made history by becoming the youngest member ever to enter Royal LePage's National Chairman's Club and became a part of Royal LePage Hall of fame (an award which is given out only to the top 1 percent of Realtors in Canada, based on total sales volume). After working for Royal LePage for five years, Jeff set off on his next venture and opened his own office building and worked under the Re/Max brand for several more successful years of Real Estate service. In 2015 after only six years with the company, he earned the Re/Max hall of fame award. Jeff has been coming up to the Peterborough area, where his wife Katie grew up, for the last fifteen years. Each consecutive year he added more and more time onto his visits in the area, as he fell in love with the Kawarthas. Coming from a small town himself, he loves the small town, friendly feel of Peterborough and couldn't be happier to have made the move! Ball Real Estate could not be a better fit for Jeff, with its energetic, friendly environment, distinguished agents and its desire to continue to grow.   Contact Jeff: Website Instagram Facebook

I connect with Rose on this episode an accomplished entrepreneur, mother and wisdom keeper. Rose and I speak about the grief she experienced while being 8 months pregnant when her best friend who was also pregnant died during complications in childbirth. Rose shares insights into the ways she has worked to heal her grief, the duality that life brings during such intense times of loss, the ways Rose claimed her beautiful natural birth in the hospital of her daughter Willow, and the ways rituals are so healing during our process of grief.  Rose also shares insights into her business Nectar Co. Breastmilk and Keepsake Jewelry, the purpose driven brand.  Rose's Bio: After nearly a decade of advising entrepreneurs and startup founders in Peterborough and the Kawarthas, the Co-Founder of 100 Women Peterborough (a giving group that has donated over $140,000 to local charities), a recipient of the Peterborough-Kawartha Women's Leadership Award, the 4-Under-40 Profile, an Inspire; Women's Portrait Project Nominee and jewelry hobbyist decided to follow her passion. Combining her motherhood and breastfeeding journey with her recent loss of a close friend, Rose decided it was the perfect time to launch the purpose driven brand, Nectar Co. Breastmilk and Keepsake Jewelry! Nectar Co. creates unique, modern, keepsake jewelry from any items that a client would like to preserve and hold close to them. The Nectar Co. studio is located at the family's hobby farm in Otonabee, Ontario where many of the dried flowers used in the jewelry is sourced from their land.

As Europe observes the anniversary of the end of World War 2, a group of history students are on the battlefields of Europe retracing the steps of Ontarians who participated in both world wars. A dramatic tale from almost a hundred years ago in Kawarthas history comes back to life on the silver screen. The story of the boys of Balsam Lake makes its way through Eastern Ontario this week..And the director tells us how the timing makes it more resonant than usual. May 9 is Victory Day in Russia, a national celebration commemorating the defeat of Nazi Germany. Russian President Vladimir Putin uses it to defend his war against Ukraine, but stops short of announcing a new escalation. It's been a month since the province lifted mask requirements for most settings...but not everyone felt it was time yet. A new business in Peterborough is getting a lot of attention for not only its success, but its requirement that people keep their faces covered. Jared Hillel has the story.

We welcome you to download this episode, no matter where you are from. But this goes out to all #Peterborough residents: we love you! Ok… that was a shameless plug. Our guest Betsy Horowitz would never stoop so low. Please forgive me and listen to this week's episode. Song: Ships and Dip version

Since 2008, HGTV host and handyman Scott McGillivray has helped homeowners throughout North America turn their properties into income opportunities. In his latest series, Scott's Own Vacation House (premiering March 14), he applies lessons learned on Vacation House Rules (returning in April for a third season) to his newly-acquired cottage property in the Kawarthas. There Scott and his family, wife Sabrina and daughters Myah and Layla, set about renovating three 40-year-old cottage structures plus a boathouse. Helping is his “secret design weapon," Debra Salmoni.First up is turning the guest cottage into a beach house, a spectacular transformation that begins with the removal of a 100-foot-tall white pine teetering inches from the front roofline of the cottage. After hiring a chain saw whiz who scampers to the treetop like a circus trick, McGillivray trucks the giant trunk off to a mill and has the pine turned into a portico.On the podcast, we also discuss the soaring increase in properties (and in renovation costs), the impact of rising interest rates and the “rental tax” being introduced throughout Ontario's cottage country.  Plus there's Scott's cheer-full pick for his favourite TV theme song of all time.

Across Canada people are trying to fathom the gravity of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. More overdose deaths in the Kawarthas have prompted a plea from local health workers: if you have to use drugs, please do so as safely as possible. We checked in with the president of the Ukrainian Canadian Club of Kingston on how people here are handling news on the crisis situation in Europe. How do you approach tough conversations with your children? Would it help if hockey was involved? This weekend some Collingwood mums are using sports to start the conversation with their daughters about intimate partner violence. Russia has launched a full scale attack on Ukraine... and the effects are reverberating around the world. When the municipal elections roll around this fall, longtime Barrie mayor Jeff Lehman has no plans to be back in the race. .He's hoping to win an earlier campaign -- and become the new MPP for the Barrie region. We often say actions speak louder than words. But sometimes action, and empowerment, comes in the form of words. A local poet and author uses writing to improve mental health, especially among racialized communities.

In this episode, I talk to Donna Galloway, the co-founder of 746 Shop, a seasonal destination location in Karwatha Lakes that provides a relaxing place to enjoy Karwatha daily Ice Cream treats, Food Truck, shop for apparel, and gifts. She is also the Marketing Vice President of Portfolio+ company that offers innovative and mission-critical solutions to banks and other financial institutions.   Donna shares with us the power of the mindset and some recommendations for entrepreneurs. Tune in to listen to Donna's journey, the challenges she has faced and how she solved them, and other exciting topics.   “I'm a good listener and I'm able to make people feel heard.”   Why Kawartha? Donna says that they grew in the area, so they were familiar with the area. They also knew a lot of people there. She also added that Kawarthas has a lot of lakes and tourist attractions.   Effects of Covid-19 in the industry Donna tells us that they had to create in and outdoors due to Covid-19. They also had late openings. They had to move their ice-cream scooping site to an external window where people could stand in line. Online shopping also increased.   Challenges Donna says that the biggest challenge in business is to divert from the plan and chase another. Instead, they decided to make plans for each year, stick to them, and hold each other accountable.   Recommendations Donna says that to open a business, someone has to have a passion for the idea. Be honest with yourself, what things will cost and how long it will take. Have a good plan, understand it and divide it into pieces and accomplish them.       In this episode: [00:30] About Donna Galloway and 746 Shop [04:00] Why Karwatha?

As shorter days give way to longer nights, the summer cottaging season draws to an end. This episode we’ll take a look back at summer 2017 and a look ahead to the fall and winter seasons. We’ll also talk about winding things down – putting stuff away, turning stuff off and all the other rituals associated with the end of the season. Friend of the podcast Ron Tite returns to share his thoughts on the season and his plans to celebrate his first Thanksgiving at the cottage.

Get a group of girls and guys together and for sure each of them will claim the title as to who has the best time on a getaway weekend. Manis, pedis and sangria or Seadoos, fireworks and a case of Amsterdam Pale Rider - what sounds like more fun? Join us this week and hear MEL interview the guys and Chris interview the ladies. This much we know. A girls weekend almost always involves some kind of avocado dip while a guys weekend almost always involves some sort of project!

On shore or on the water, there's lots of fun to be had outdoors. Do you feel like taking the paddle boat or the canoe out for a whirl? Maybe you're a little more adventurous and you want to head out and explore on foot or on the ATV! Ornithologist and outdoor expert Mark Peck will help us figure it all out along with Lake of Bays ATV Club member and Baysville County Store owner Bill Bryer.

Everybody has one...a favourite summer song and a book they want to read. This week we're talking music and books - two incredibly important elements for great cottaging. Vital in fact. Whether you're enjoying some uninterrupted solitude in the hammock or putting in a few hours sunbathing on the dock, you're gonna need a good book and some great tunes. Sharing their thoughts with us on this cottage critical topic are award winning author Terry Fallis and boom 97.3 radio host Jeff Spindel.

The heavens open and the debate begins. It's a rainy day. Do you reach for Monopoly, Scrabble or Canada's own Trivial Pursuit? Maybe cards are your thing. Do you deal a hand of poker? Or is your style more Euchre or Cribbage? When you get bored of all that, there's always that box of VHS movies. And let's be clear, The Great Outdoors may just be the best cottage movie of all time. Yes or no? Author, keynote speaker and ad agency owner Ron Tite joins us to help settle the debates!

Hmmmm....let me see. Will that be a glass of wine or a local craft beer? Entertaining outdoors is one of the great pleasures at the cottage. But what to serve? You don't want to be running in and out of the cottage all afternoon. Hear some great tips from our grill master Andy Elder, cottager and sommelier Meghan Sherwin and Heather Mundle from Amsterdam Brewery who shares beer pairing tips and more!

We are a country blessed with tremendous natural resources and lots and lots of fresh water. With thousands of lakes in Ontario alone, it's easy to see how a rainy spring could cause some issues! This week we hear from cottage friends Jeff Wood and Aaron Finlayson about some of those times when things went wrong. From missing docks to power outages, we've got stories!

How far is far? Did you know there's a movement afoot. A zeitgeist to escape larger urban centres has taken hold. This week we talk to Christine Sharp about the recreational property market across the country. Where are people buying? How far are they travelling to escape the city? Off grid but online - can it be done? We also chat with Brian Varner who practically crosses the country to escape the city and get to his cottage!

Forget the buying vs. renting debate! Have you heard about cottage hopping? It's a thing. Joining us around Andy's grill this week are Michelle Catchpole, guest and cottage hopper extraordinaire and Jeff Wood, one time cottage owner, now full time cottage guest. We'll talk about what makes a great guest and what makes a great gift for your host or hostess. Here's a hint...Jeff created the Kawarthas Northumberland Butter Tart Tour. 50 stops. He's tried them all.

Weekend sunset, summer winding down, the music is playing...just enjoying life. I hope you like... a couple of miscues, but its all live....

For this podcast we had 6 educators talking to me from a cottage in the Kawarthas!
