Podcasts about Port Credit

Happy Podcast day, one and all!  Welcome to back to The Big Year Podcast.  Thank you once again for joining me.   It's April 15, 2025 and spring migration is well underway here in southwestern Ontario.  It's actually a bit of a miracle that I finished this episode on time because the last 2 weeks have been very busy for me and my fellow birders.  It started with a Western Grebe in Port Credit, a Black-headed Gull, at Port Colborne, followed by a Long-billed Dowitcher right here in Brant County.  The fun continued with over 50 American White Pelicans at Holiday Beach and a female Harlequin Duck down in Chatham-Kent.  I also go my first Ruffed Grouse and Common Loon for Brant County, but the real excitement was the chase for a Crested Caracara in Essex County, not too far from the Ontario/Michigan boarder, on April 7.   Dozens of birders flocked to the small town of Amherstburg for a once in a lifetime look at this large falcon that lost its way.  This bird should have been in Texas, and after a long day of searching seemed to have returned home.  I had then tried for a Yellow-headed Blackbird back in Chatham, but near blizzard conditions sent me home to contemplate missed opportunities.  However, on Wednesday the weather was nice again, so I decided to go back and look for the Yellow-headed Blackbird.  To my complete surprise, before I even arrived at McGeachy Pond, I was alerted to the return of the caracara, not in Amherstburg, but right there in Chatham, only 15 minutes from where I was parked at the side of the road.   Talk about being in the right place at the right time.  I drove, I saw, I counted a new Canada Lifer!  And I got to spend time with some of my favourite birding friends, including Kelly Sue, who you met on season one of the podcast.  She lived only 5 minutes away.  And yesterday we had another rare bird party as dozens of us migrated to Stoney Creek for a rare spring sighting of a Loggerhead Shrike.  And all through that I was trying to find time to finish this podcast.  Not only that, it's the onset of allergy season and my head feels like it's full of teddy bear stuffing.  Today's episode features Robert Gundy and Natasza Fontaine.  Robert is a biologist and Natasza was the 2024 ABA Bird of the Year Artist, painting the Golden-winged Warbler.  And they both completed a record setting (Covid)Florida Big Year in 2020.   

On today's episode of GGW, we had Dr. Annaleeza Caputi, ND on the pod for the second time, to chat with us about what to expect when you're expecting (and after!). We chatted about:What to expect from each trimester (the good, bad and potentially the ugly)How we support mental health and stress resiliance in pregnancy Diet and pregnancy - do we really need to avoid fish, cheese and caffeine?Labor and birth plans - is a home birth safe? What kind of exercise should we do in pregnancy?Are C sections negatively affecting your babies microbiome?Eating your own placenta?Will sex and spicy foods get your baby here faster? how do we really support moms post-partum?and so much more.Grab some tissues - this one is a tear jerker. want to learn more about Dr. Caputi?Book with Dr. Caputi in Guelph, ON. at Natural Choice Medical ClinicBook with Dr. Caputi in Port Credit, ON. at The Root Naturopathic ClinicFollow Dr. Caputi on Instagram Check out her website Don't forget to follow us on Instagram @girlsgonewellnesspodcast for updates and more wellness tips.

The Government of Ontario is set to expand the number of private health clinics allowed to perform certain types of surgeries and diagnostic procedures. Critics say the plan will further burden the healthcare system by pulling away hospital staff, while supporters say it's a necessary step to help struggling hospitals. Mike Schreiner has called on the Attorney General to probe the recent deal allowing for ServiceOntario kiosks in Staples stores. Part of that announcement included the planned closure of a number of ServiceOntario locations, a detail that's caused some concern. The Hazel McCallion Line is getting a new business case to lay out how it will connect Port Credit, Mississauga, and Brampton. It's one of several transit projects still being built in the province, but when will it open? That's the $4.6 billion dollar question.

Together with Mirella, the brewers explore the difference in flavour between these two amber ales. They also share their thoughts on the ideal glassware to use for these ales as well as the ideal temperature at which to serve them.

Episode 011... though I say 012 throughout the show... sun stroke, I tell you! Wear a hat, folks!   This week we are recording on location from The South Side Shuffle, a United States Southern and Blues festival that happens every year inside Memorial Park by the Credit River in Port Credit, Ontario, Canada! We interview Donna and Alex Carrick, local authors about their books and more.    Paul recommends a new way to read books on iOS called “Book Track” and gives you some book news, too! Stick around for the end where I attempt to play the harmonica part from DIRTY OLD TOWN one of my favorite songs… its a tragedy, really!  BROKEN harmonica!!! Just like my guitar!  Coincidence? I THINK NOT!    Your host: Paul “The Book Guy” Alves     Special Thanks To: The Mississippi Queen for providing our meals for the day.  You can check out her site at http://www.mississippiqueenfoods.com    The organizers of the South Side Shuffle.  We hope to return next year in a bigger way!  What a wonderful festival, just a pleasure to be there.    Geoff Smith For creating our theme song and some of our jingles!    Greg Otte and Chris Jagr for doing “God’s Work” this weekend.  I am so happy you two did what you did instead of recording the podcast and hope you return next week.  It’s hard doing this alone!Released September 12th, 2011 Find out more on the Book Guys Show website.
