GB2RS News Sunday, the 15th of June 2025 The news headlines: Book now to secure your place at the RSGB 2025 Convention The RSGB launches the “SES Cookbook” The RSGB Operating Advisory Service issues advice The RSGB annual Convention is a fantastic opportunity for radio amateurs to meet, learn and share experiences. Whether you're newly licensed or have years of experience, there is always more to discover. That's why the Society is excited to introduce this year's theme: “Discover, Learn, Progress”. Whether you want to discover something new, learn more about a particular aspect of amateur radio, or progress and develop your skills, you'll find something at the Convention to explore and enjoy. The prestigious event will take place between October 10th and 12th at Kents Hill Conference Centre in Milton Keynes. Book now to secure your place in joining like-minded people for what is also one of the best social events in amateur radio. Take advantage of the early-bird prices by going to rsgb.org/convention. The Society is delighted that the event will be sponsored again by Martin Lynch and Sons. Special event stations are popular around the world and a great source of fun and excitement for organisers and QSO chasers. They can also be a fantastic tool for outreach, allowing you to demonstrate amateur radio and encourage people to find out more. But how do you organise an event to achieve all those objectives? The RSGB has just launched a new web section that focuses on special event stations. For RSGB members and Affiliated Clubs, there is an online guide called the SES Cookbook, which offers a wide range of practical guidance to help you deliver the best experience for your visitors and the organisers. The guide covers a wide range of topics, including how to apply for a special event station callsign, the stages of the planning process, publicising your event to attract visitors and how to make a good number of contacts. For non-RSGB members, there is a simple guidance document that outlines the main things to consider when planning this type of event. The new section also draws together existing information about permanent special event stations as well as QSL guidance. If you're planning an event for this year, or even for next year, now is the time to make the most of this comprehensive guide. Go to rsgb.org/ses  to find out more. The RSGB Operating Advisory Service, or OAS, provides advice to members on dealing with situations that are not within the spirit of amateur radio. From time to time, this activity goes beyond what is classed as acceptable behaviour and requires action to be taken. In these circumstances, the OAS recommends reporting the matter directly to Ofcom and to the police in the case of issues which could be classed as harassment, stalking or hate crimes. Experience has shown that this carries more weight coming directly from the people hearing or suffering the problem rather than a third party, such as the RSGB. If you hear anything that is not acceptable behaviour, contact the RSGB OAS first, and the team will suggest the correct course of action. Once Ofcom and the police have issued reference numbers, these should be passed to the Operating Advisory Service. You can contact OAS via oas@rsgb.org.uk The RSGB has submitted responses to a pair of Ofcom consultations. The first considered a series of licence exemption updates, including arrangements for some visiting radio amateurs to the UK. The second concerned filing procedures for the growing number and variety of satellites. Both replies were developed by the RSGB Spectrum Forum, drawing on its members' wide breadth of expertise. The Spectrum Forum expects that there will be further updates to both topics. Find the full replies by going to rsgb.org/spectrumforum  and selecting the ‘Papers and Consultations' option from the right-hand menu. The RSGB recently announced two new volunteering opportunities. The RSGB CW Champion will help the Society in taking Morse code to new audiences. Tasks will vary from developing the CW content on the RSGB's website through to developing and supporting a team of enthusiastic individuals who can support CW-related activities. The second role requires an individual with experience in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The RSGB STEM Champion will help the Society to reach new audiences, build relationships with related organisations and encourage more young people into STEM careers. Go to rsgb.org/volunteers  to read the full role descriptions and learn how to apply.

Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA and G4BAO on Thursday the 12th of June 2025 Propagation was a mixed bag last week, with occasional Kp index rises but a solid solar flux index, which hit 141 on Thursday, the 12th. We also had some sporadic-E short-skip conditions on the HF bands, which brought some surprises. We are now in June, so the summer HF doldrums are well underway. But that doesn't mean that the fun has gone from the HF bands. Daytime maximum usable frequencies over a 3,000km path have been around 18 to 20 MHz, so the main active band has been 20m. Paul, GM4ULS, reports that there was a spectacular inter-G event on the morning of Tuesday, the 10th of June. Whilst activating special event station GB70RS from Perth, he worked a mini pile-up of English stations from anywhere between Southampton and Manchester. This was between 0949 and 1022 UTC on 14.210 MHz. He said it sounded like the 40m band at times! We think this was probably a Sporadic-E event, which often creates strong but short-lived paths across the UK on the HF bands in the summer. We normally think of Sporadic-E as affecting the 10m band, but the lower bands are also often implicated. Have you worked anything unusual via Sporadic-E? If you have, please send your reports to radcom@rsgb.org.uk Otherwise, DX on the HF bands has been a little sparse, with paths opening to South Africa and South America on the 20 and 17m bands at times. Perhaps this is a good time to work some Summits on the Air or World Wide Flora and Fauna stations in Europe. These are usually QRP stations that appreciate your contacts. Next week, NOAA predicts the solar flux index will be in the 120 to 130 range. Unfortunately, geomagnetic conditions are predicted to be unsettled, thanks mainly to the return of a massive coronal hole on the Sun. Disruption was due to start around the 14th, but due to the hole's size, this could continue for at least three days with a maximum Kp index of 6. Expect the HF bands to be disrupted with lower maximum usable frequencies as the plasma in the solar wind hits the Earth. It may be a good time for visible aurora hunting, though. And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO The high summer conditions have brought an increasing chance of Sporadic-E, particularly on digital modes, with DXmaps.com  plots showing plenty of paths on most days. Many of these are possibly associated with turbulence generated by jet streams in the weather part of the atmosphere. These send atmospheric gravity waves upwards to affect the E region. It's this association with specific weather features that makes Sporadic-E sporadic in a geographical sense. If so, in the coming week, the jet streams are mainly over the northern fringe of Europe. These suggest a better chance of paths to Scandinavia with fewer options to the south to support paths to the Mediterranean and the Balkans. In any event, June is high season for Sporadic-E, so remember to check the 6m band either mid-morning or late afternoon. The early thundery weather at the end of last week was useful for rain scatter on the GHz bands, and it is just possible it will return for the end of the coming week. In between times, it will be a high-pressure story that will dominate and may well produce some useful Tropo conditions. However, note that in the hot days of summer, inversion conditions and Tropo will be better at night and tend to weaken by the middle of the morning. Meteor scatter will have been boosted by two showers on the 7th and 8th of June, and, since they were broad peaks, there should be some meteor input left to see us through the coming week. For EME, sky noise is dropping. Low declination is now starting to decrease. So, Moon windows and peak elevation are improving. EME conditions are classed as poor to moderate today, the 15th of June, but are then good on the 21st and 22nd of June. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

When Lilly and Jack Sullivan went missing from their home in Nova Scotia, it brought back disturbing memories for the parents of three-year-old Dylan Ehler, who vanished in 2020 from his grandmother's house in Truro, Nova Scotia. Dylan's case shines a light on all the things that can go wrong when the local cops don't follow their own protocols. It will also illustrate the damage that can be done to an investigation and the child's loved ones when cyber bullies decide to wage a battle against them. Also, Dylan's story and face deserve to be in the public eye because, sadly, he remains missing. But there's hope on the horizon...take a listen to find out the latest news on this baffling story.#dylanehler #jasonehler #missingboy #missing #novascotia #dorothyparsons #missinginnovascotia #canada #asmr #breakingnews--#truecrime #idaho #moscowidaho #kayleegoncalves #madisonmogen #ethanchapin #xanakernodle #moscowstudentmurders #idahostudentmurders #moscowhomicides  #truecrimeunsolved #truecrimeunsolvedCONTACT INFORMATIONContact Email: tofbedcrimestories@gmail.comSupport the show

As the summer gardening season rolls into full-throated song, the idea of who has access to the work, joy, and benefits of this practice also comes into view—and feeds what Occupational Therapist and author Jill Mays calls that "green thing inside of us all." As an occupational therapist by career and calling, over the course of her professional life, it became increasingly clear to Jill how many of the occupational therapy goals she set for her diverse clients were well met by the variety of activities, sensory stimulations, and social, mental, and physical benefits of gardening—preferably outside and in the company of others. After several years of developing gardening programs in her now-home town of Truro, MA, Jill has documented the journey of her work, research, and garden program designs for a wide range of special needs in her new book: Nurturing Nature, A Guide to Gardening for Special Needs. Cultivating Place now has a donate button! We thank you so much for listening over the years and we hope you'll support Cultivating Place. We can't thank you enough for making it possible for this young program to grow even more of these types of conversations. The show is available as a podcast on SoundCloud and iTunes.

Yes Adelaide I am looking at you...While Adelaide isn't the "murder capital" in a literal sense, it has gained a reputation for being one due to a few high-profile cases, including the Snowtown murders and the Truro murders. These cases have contributed to a perception of the city as a place with a high murder rate. It's probably not true that it's dangerous ..but no offence I won't be going there any time soon!   Eddie Costa- Adelaide John Neel and his Orch- Midnight Blues Mantovani- The Sound of Music Mantovani- Goodbye Again Frank Sinatra- It's All Right with Me Ran Blake- Ten Cents a Dance Lyn Stanley- It's Crazy Helen Merrill-Soft As Spring Nathan Haines-Lament Lary Gelb- Luiza Jackie Gleason- My Funny Valentine Pepper Adams- Bloos, Bloos, Blues

All roads lead to Truro next season, as United's relegation to the National League is confirmed by defeat at Cheltenham. A miserable campaign ending on a damp squib after just the slightest ray of hope in the last few weeks. In this episode of the Brunton Bugle, we discuss the 3-2 loss to the Robins, some initial reaction to relegation and look ahead to a fairly pointless final day of the season against Salford City at home - lots discussed including...

RNIB Connect Radio's Toby Davey is joined again by Vidar Hjardeng MBE, Inclusion and Diversity Consultant for ITV News across England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the channel Islands for the next of his regular audio described theatre reviews for 2025. This week Vidar was reviewing the Royal Shakespeare Company's current production of ‘Hamlet in Stratford-upon-Avon with description by Professional Audio Describers Gethyn Edwards and Carolyn Smith. . About ‘Hamlet' Grief can play tricks on the mind, even conjure ghosts. But when Hamlet's dead father appears to him one night, he signals murder, not madness. Hamlet's mother has married his uncle, and at a less than decent interval too. As he pulls at the threads of his not-so-happy new family, Hamlet unravels a web of deceit and immorality that leads to the ultimate crisis of conscience. Following their hugely successful recent collaborations on Cold War and Patriots, multi award-winner Rupert Goold (Dear England, National Theatre; Romeo and Juliet, The Merchant of Venice RSC), directs Luke Thallon as Hamlet in this new production of Shakespeare's family saga. Hamlet will tour to RSC partner theatres in towns and cities across England throughout spring 2026, including Truro, Bradford, Norwich, Nottingham, Blackpool, Newcastle, York and Canterbury. Full casting for the UK tour is yet to be announced.  For more about access at the at the Royal Shakespeare Company including details of audio described performances of their productions do visit - https://www.rsc.org.uk/your-visit/access (Image shows RNIB logo.

Welcome back! If you're in the world of real estate investing, you've probably heard of seller financing/vendor takeback on other podcasts, other platforms, and it sounds amazing! You as the seller, essentially becoming the bank and holding the note for the mortgage and the buyer pays you every month, interest included. But you might be curious as to how seller financing/vendortakeback works, what are the pros and cons, how this can be a benefit for both the buyer and seller involved in a deal, and how this can be a great option to get a deal done!Jeremy Zwicker is a real estate investor who sold his 10-unit dwelling on 32 acres of land just outside of Truro last year using seller financing/vendortake for the first time in his career. We explore how the deal worked, how Jeremy and the buyer structued the deal to be a win-win for both parties, why seller financing/vendortakeback was the best way to structure this deal, what the terms were, and what Jeremy looked out for to make sure this was the best deal for him. Enjoy!Jason Paul902-220-7357jason@infintiyrealestategroup.ca@jasonpaulhalifaxrealtor

In this special episode of the Mark and Pete Show, we celebrate Cornish Pasties at then culminatino of Cornish Pasty Week  by delving into the exciting events that took place, culminating in the World's Fastest Amateur Pasty Crimper competition. Held on March 1, 2025, at the Great Cornish Food Store in Truro, this inaugural event showcased the rich heritage and community spirit of Cornwall. We explore the origins and cultural significance of the Cornish pasty, a culinary icon with Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status, ensuring its traditional recipe and methods are preserved. The art of crimping, essential for sealing the pasty and maintaining its integrity during baking, was at the heart of the competition. Participants, both adults and under-16s, demonstrated their speed and precision in crimping three pasties as quickly as possible, each with at least 18 crimps.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mark-and-pete--1245374/support.

Truro Police Services Constable Brent Bowden has been on medical leave since June 2024, in relation to an incident he says was rooted in racism. A banana peel was thrown on the windshield of his personal vehicle while parked at his workplace, which is Truro Police Services. Since then, the station has also looked into this and organized meetings, including a mediated conversation with the officers responsible. One of them described putting the banana peel on Bowden's truck as a joke. Alex Guye gave Brent a call to hear more. She also reached out to Truro Police Services and the Town of Truro and was given a statement back.

After 7 Years and 344 Episodes it is time to say:  Thank you and goodnight Today - February 25th 2025 - marks the seventh anniversary since the first episode of this podcast went live to the world on February 25th 2018When I first launched the podcast I was advised that the vast majority of new podcast launches don't make it beyond episode seven.So to have reached 344 episodes in seven years of podcasting seems like a reasonable achievement.It also feels like the perfect time to draw halt to the Better Presentations More Sales podcastI started listening to podcasts around 2014 and I remember one of the shows I listened to was a social media marketing podcast hosted by Chris Marr up in Scotland.On one of his episodes the guest was a chap called Pete Matthew who revealed that he was from Penzance in Cornwall.Not too far from me in Truro and the first time I've heard anyone from Cornwall on a business podcast.Pete revealed on the episode that he'd been podcasting himself for quite a number of years.Knowing I needed some help to get started with podcasting I contacted Pete. He generously gave me his time back in the summer of 2016 and eventually after much procrastination I finally launched the podcast in February 2018. Ironically Chris Marr would end up being a guest on my show in 2024.The first 78 episodes were without guests before I worked out how to use Zoom and I interviewed Claire Boscq Scott from Jersey who I met sitting next to at a seminar at the London Business Show in 2019.Juanita Wheeler from Australia was my final and 130th guest.I do intend to return with a new podcast linked to presenting skills sometime maybe in the autumn but until then I'm very much focused on developing my on demand presentation and sales pitch training courses.I would like to say a few thank you's to all the people who made this podcast run for as long as it did.Firstly Pete Matthew who provided me with the knowledge and encouragement.My daughter Beth who edited most of the first year or two episodesHer friend Lauren who provided the voice introduction for the first batch of episodesMy son Jim who provided technical support when I first set up all the recording kit and his friend Robert who created the podcast logosThe 130 guests who have appeared on the showIt often felt like I was getting a one-to-one coaching masterclass so I'm very grateful for them sharing their insights, advice and expertise.And finally you the listeners of the showI can't believe it's been seven years - I've had a fantastic time and I will be back.So until then enjoy presenting and speaking and remember don't put too many words on your slides!I can help you transform your business presentations, create and convert sales opportunities and win more sales pitches.

For this episode host Peter Green  is joined by three Cornwall based farmers who are going about things a bit differently compared to the traditional farming model.First up us Laura Awdry who farms in partnership with her husband Sam on a Duchy of Cornwall farm tenancy running beef and arable. She is also a Nuffield scholar and works within the dairy team for AHDB. Peter is also joined by Rhian and Jack Marchant who are first generation farmers, farming on a Lord Falmouth estate farm about 10 miles outside of Truro. The couple keep ducks for eggs, zwartble, Devon and Cornish Longwool and Suffolk sheep and water buffalo. Rhian is also a registered vet nurse working mostly in small animal practice and balances this career alongside farming. Farming Focus is the podcast for farmers in the South West of England, but is relevant for farmers outside of the region or indeed anyone in the wider industry or who has an interest in food and farming. For more information on Cornish Mutual visit cornishmutual.co.ukFor our podcast disclaimer click here. If you'd like to send us an email you can contact us at podcast@cornishmutual.co.ukTimestamps00:14 Peter introduces the episode.01:33 Laura introduces herself.02:40 Rhian introduces herself and her farming journey.03:16 How did Rhian and Jack start?03:47 Jack comes in. 04:45 How has Laura and her husband Sam built their farming business?07:19 Jack talks about their route into farming and wanting to stand out. 08:34 How are buffalo different to cattle in terms of husbandry?09:46 How did Jack know that buffalo would be a good fit for him?10:50 Balancing working on and off farm. 14:09 Rhian explains how she and Jack balance working off farm with the farming. 18:30 The future of balancing working on and off farm21:10 The benefits of working on and off farm. 22:10 Words of advice to listeners. 24:03 Showstoppers.25:57 Peter rounds up.  

Parts of the province have seen a spike in the deer population and that's concerning for motorists. Following a decision to cull the deer in the Truro area, we hear about the problem with the ruminants in Richmond County.

As Christmas approaches even managers seem to give more credance to the divisional tables. Our first guest this week is no stranger to topping tables, having famously secured promotion back to the Football League with a then much troubled Macclesfield Town. In at a new club this season, with a new ground John Askey finds himself top of a very tight National South but is taking nothing for granted. Storm Darragh hit the FA Vase programme last week, so we take take the opportunity to preview another tie, that will have a second attempt at running this weekend. Crook Town has plenty of heritage as we will hear but also now one of the youngest Chairman they have ever had. That's not holding Chris MacDonald back nor his multitude of ideas as the club aim to progress on and off the field. Jon Couch is back rounding up the week's news. More managerial moves, FA Vase and FA Trophy and what to buy non league fans for Christmas

“Both ends that is all…”Kevin Wills will forever go down as a legend of South West football. Maybe more fondly remembered by Truro City supporters for his double, scoring at both ends, in the FA Vase final triumph in 2007. But he also won promotions with both Torquay United and Plymouth Argyle.Joining the Greens in the late 90s, Willsy made his breakthrough in 1998 as an exciting forward. Despite never quite making it as a regular during his time at Home Park, he was an integral part of Paul Sturrock's centurions in 2001/02, playing 18 matches mainly away from home, as Argyle clinched promotion.A promotion with Torquay United two years later followed, and then four more in the White of Truro, he was a lucky omen wherever he went.This is the story of Kevin Wills.

We spoke with him about his dissertation which is titled “Taking the Measure of High Cross: Translating the Many Worlds of Truro at the Time of the Anthropocene”. Matt's work concerns the philosophy of translation, particularly in relation to New Materialism, and the materiality of narrative time in the context of environmental and ecological crises. He is also an associate researcher with the Institute of Cornish Studies at the University of Exeter where he curates a cross-departmental seminar series called Complex Cornwall, which has to do with theoretical and practical innovations in interdisciplinary research.

This summer, farmer Dave Dewitt of Truro told me he's growing something I've always thought of as a southern crop — okra.

For years now, farmer Stephanie Rein of the non-profit Sustainable Cape in Truro has been teaching kids about growing food. She does this in multiple elementary schools on the Outer Cape, and when she first started, she had the kids make something she called a seed wish list.

Last month we heard from Denise Burgess, who's eldest son has struggled with mental health and substance use disorders for years, and her ongoing efforts to get him simultaneous help for both. And we heard from Pam Cooley. Her son, Eli, died of fentanyl poisoning in January of 2020 in British Columbia. The two mothers were connected by an addictions doctor Denise's son had been treated by. Something both Denise and Pam spoke about was stigma around mental health, substance use and homelessness. And about the impact that has had on their efforts to help their sons.Today, we will dig into that stigma a bit, and what solutions their might be to changing it. Davy Rose is the outreach coordinator with the Truro Housing Outreach Society. Here is part of their conversation with Alex Guye.

The 50th Annual Nova Scotia Volunteer Awards took place last week. The recognition ceremony took place at the Rath Eastlink Community Centre in Truro. Among those being recognized for their service was Nicole McDonald. She had received an HRM Municipal Award back in April, and had been invited to represent the Central Region at the Provincial Ceremony last week in Truro. In a social media post on September 24th, Nicole wrote that while she was grateful to accept a Provincial Volunteer Award...the feeling of gratitude has been "overshadowed by inaccessibility and the feeling of not being as important as the other award winners." Nicole spoke with Mainstreet host, Jeff Douglas today and we have also reached out to the Provincial Volunteer Awards for comment.

While average residential sale prices are likely to increase in the majority markets analyzed, there are a couple of outliers where prices are anticipated to be flat or decline, including Toronto, Hamilton, Burlington, Kitchener-Waterloo, Charlottetown, North Bay and London, it said. The report said 25 per cent of Canadians expressed that saving for a home purchase is one of their top three priorities when it comes to financial savings, despite high cost of living and affordability challenges. In a video interview, Christopher Alexander, President of RE/MAX Canada, talks about the company's latest report – the Fall Housing Market Outlook. The video can be seen here. PRESS RELEASE TORONTO, Sept. 3, 2024 /CNW/ — With the long-anticipated decline in interest rates finally starting to materialize, early indicators from RE/MAX brokers and agents across Canada suggest steady housing market activity this fall. Average sale prices across all housing types are expected to increase between one and six per cent in the majority of regions by year's end, according to RE/MAX's 2024 Fall Housing Market Outlook. Ahead of the next Bank of Canada (BoC) interest rate announcement on September 4, two in 10 Canadians (16 per cent) said they will feel more comfortable engaging in the real estate market once they see there is more than a 100-basis-point cut to the BoC's lending rate between now and the end of the year, according to a Leger survey commissioned by RE/MAX as part of the report. Chris Alexander “The fall market is usually a good early indicator for activity as we look ahead to early 2025, and we're headed toward more healthy territory. With interest rates starting to ease, buyers are beginning to come off the sidelines,” says Christopher Alexander, President, RE/MAX Canada. “That's not to say the fall market will be in full swing according to historic standards. Consumers will drive that trend, so we'll need to see a bigger move by the Bank of Canada for that to happen.” Consumer Sentiments Going into the Fall Market Ahead of further anticipated interest rate cuts by the Bank of Canada, it seems that even the mere prospect of lower rates has boosted confidence among first-time homebuyers, with one-quarter of Canadians (25 per cent) actively saving for a home purchase and confident they will be able to buy soon (with the majority being younger Millennials and Gen Zs aged 18-24, at 35 per cent). On the flipside, dropping interest rates now may prove too little, too late for some current homeowners, with 14 per cent saying they need to renew their mortgage soon, and with the current higher interest rate, they may need to sell their home. When it comes to financial savings, the Leger survey revealed that while a home purchase is listed among the top three priorities for 25 per cent of Canadians, it has taken a back seat to day-to-day expenses such as utilities and food (58 per cent), and travel (45 per cent). In the search for affordability, one-quarter of Canadians say that they are considering moving to another country (28 per cent) and 25 per cent say they are reconsidering whether to have children or start a family due to housing affordability challenges. “Despite some consumer confidence starting to return to the market this season, the reality is Canadians are still grappling with some serious housing affordability challenges rooted in lack of supply. Yes, borrowing is becoming less expensive, but this won't make housing affordable in the long run,” says Alexander. “Markets ebb and flow, and as buyers re-enter the market and absorb inventory, we'll see more upward pressure on price. “Ultimately, for the long-term health of Canada's housing market, we need a national housing strategy developed in collaboration between all levels of government, that's more strategic and visionary in how we can use existing lands and real estate to boost supply. In the meantime, buyers would be wise to work with an experienced real estate agent to help navigate those cyclical market ups and downs that often accompany this push and pull of supply and demand.” Regional Market Insights As part of the 2024 Fall Housing Market Outlook Report, RE/MAX brokers and agents in Canada were asked to share an analysis of their local market between January and July 2023 and 2024 and share their estimated outlook for fall 2024. The majority of regions (76 per cent) anticipate an increase in sale price between one to six per cent, including Greater Vancouver Area, BC; Calgary, AB; Edmonton, AB; Saskatoon, SK; Winnipeg, MB; Halifax, NS; St. John's Metro, NL; Truro/Colchester, NS; Fredericton, NB; Timmins, ON; Sudbury, ON; Brampton, ON; Mississauga, ON; Niagara, ON; Ottawa, ON; Durham, ON; Barrie, ON; Muskoka, ON; Peterborough, ON; York Region, ON; Kingston, ON; Windsor, ON, and Thunder Bay, ON. Exceptions to the upward trend include Toronto, ON; Hamilton, ON; Burlington, ON; and Kitchener-Waterloo, ON, where a moderate decline between two and three per cent is expected, and Charlottetown, PEI; North Bay, ON, and London, ON, where prices will likely remain flat. When it comes to listings, a majority of regions surveyed (82 per cent) saw the number of listings increase between 2.3 and 34.7 per cent between January and July (2023 – 2024). The number of sale transactions also increased between 3.1 and 7.4 per cent in Atlantic Canada, 3.4 to 30.9 per cent in Western Canada, and between 0.6 and 14.8 per cent in Ontario, except for some larger Ontario markets like Toronto, Brampton, Durham Region, Mississauga, Peterborough and York Region, where sales trended downward. According to RE/MAX brokers' insights, 33 per cent of housing markets are expected to be seller's markets, but this may shift as competition increases and market conditions evolve. To view the regional data table, click here. Western Canada and Prairies The Prairies continue to skew towards a seller's market (Edmonton, AB; Calgary, AB; Saskatoon, SK) which is consistent with 2023, except for Winnipeg, MB, which is a balanced market. On the other hand, in Western Canada, inclusive of the Greater Vancouver Area, BC, and Kelowna, BC, a mix of balanced and buyer's markets are anticipated. Heading into the fall, prices are forecasted to increase by two to six per cent in regions like the Greater Vancouver Area, BC, and Kelowna, BC; Calgary, AB; Edmonton, AB; Saskatoon, SK; and Winnipeg, MB. Sale transactions are anticipated to increase by five to 15 per cent in the Greater Vancouver Area, BC; Edmonton, AB; and Winnipeg, MB; and a decrease of one per cent in Saskatoon, SK, due to inventory shortages, while Calgary, AB anticipates sales will remain flat. RE/MAX broker feedback in Regina, SK indicates that many factors will dictate how the market pans out for the remainder of the year, including government election cycles, The Bank of Canada interest rate announcements and inventory levels. Historically, Regina, SK sees the markets cool from mid-September through the end of the year. All markets in Western Canada and The Prairies – apart from the Greater Vancouver Area, BC – continue to experience supply challenges, with increased activity in the market, as consumers benefit from recent interest rate cuts. Lower mortgage rates have bolstered consumer confidence in the market but paired with low supply, RE/MAX brokers and agents in the region are reporting aggressive offers in conjunction with sellers raising asking prices for residential homes. Ontario Despite The Bank of Canada's interest rate cuts, low housing supply continues to impact multiple markets across Ontario, keeping prices high. However, some buyers are gaining more confidence as mortgage rates decrease and are slowly re-entering the market heading into fall, keeping prices relatively stable in comparison to the year prior. Housing supply is expected to become a larger issue once further interest rate cuts motivate buyers on the sidelines to re-enter the market and spark more competition. Although some homebuyer confidence is starting to return, buyers in Toronto remain hesitant as affordability continues to be a challenge, especially for first-time homebuyers. Across Ontario, 12 regions are expecting average residential prices to remain flat or increase modestly heading into the fall. Increasing markets include Timmins, Sudbury, Brampton, Mississauga, Thunder Bay, and Barrie (each rising five per cent), Peterborough, York Region and Kingston (rising three per cent), Niagara (up two per cent), Durham Region and Ottawa (up one per cent), and London (rising a nominal 0.5 per cent). The outliers to this upward trend are Toronto, Kitchener-Waterloo, Hamilton, and Burlington, which are expecting a price decrease. In Ontario, seven markets are expected to experience balanced conditions this fall, while four are anticipated to be seller's markets, and five are buyer's markets. Four markets are expecting a mix, with three buyers/balanced conditions, and one sellers/balanced market. Atlantic Canada Echoing similarities to other regions across Canada, Atlantic Canada is also reporting low inventory supply and increased competition when it comes to buyer activity. Buyers are competing aggressively on affordable housing and new listings, causing prices to spike. This is likely a result of current supply challenges and an increase in out-of-town buyers from Western and Central Canada. Unlike in 2023, average residential prices in Atlantic Canada are expected to increase for the remainder of year, by five per cent in Truro and Colchester, NS, one per cent in Halifax, NS, 1.5 per cent in St. John's Metro, NL, and two per cent in Fredericton, NB, while Charlottetown, PEI is anticipated to remain flat. All markets in Atlantic Canada with the exception of Charlottetown – which is a buyer's market – are considered to be seller's markets. Quebec Like other regions across the country, Montreal's housing shortage coupled with interest rates have resulted in a seller's market, with buyers making multiple offers on properties to remain competitive or opting to wait on the sidelines. Pricing and marketing are crucial for sellers looking to attract hesitant buyers. Additional survey findings: Majority of Canadians (77 per cent) believe steps taken by municipal, provincial, and federal governments to improve housing inventory and affordability are not enough to solve our affordability crisis and more needs to be done 60 per cent of Canadians believe building more diverse types of housing are the key to solving Canada's housing supply challenges For 16 per cent of Canadians, rising cost-of-living and affordability challenges have not deterred them at all, and they plan to purchase another home beyond their primary residence soon (or have recently) 40 per cent of Canadians feel Canada is one of the best countries in the world to purchase/invest in real estate (notably this number is higher at 52 per cent, for new Canadians that have been in Canada for less than 5 years) One-third of Canadians (32 per cent) said they are relying on their home as their only financial plan for retirement.

On the Saturday August 10, 2024 edition of the Richard Crouse Show we meet Clare Titley, director of “The Contestant,” a feature doc, now available on Hollywood Suite On Demand. Narrated by Fred Armisen, it is an intimate portrait of Tomoaki Hamatsu, a Japanese reality TV star, nicknamed Nasubi, left naked in a room for more than a year and tasked with entering contests to earn food and clothing, while, unknown to him, millions of television viewers all over Japan watched his every move. The show turned him into an unwitting superstar, but at what cost? Then we'll get to know Jonathan Torrens. You know him from Taggart and Torrens, the podcast with 4 million downloads he does with Jeremy Taggart, and his work on shows like “Street Cents” and his talk show “Jonovision” and, of course, his legendary performance as rapper J-Roc on the “Trailer Park Boys.” Today we talk about his latest project, the Truro, Nova Scotia based production company Canadian Content Studios and his new show “Roll With It.”

Planning needs to be unlocked for commercial space across Cornwall in order to provide much-needed employment opportunities and ease overreliance on tourism, according to Vickery Holman agent Morwenna Pound. Vickery Holman is the leading regional agent across the South West region on the Radius Rankings for space transacted so far this year and Pound – who works from its Truro office - leads the individual dealmaker rankings for Cornwall, with 67,970 sq ft transacted across 28 deals. Pound says demand is very strong for industrial units of around 1,000 sq ft, but planning headaches and development costs mean these are in short supply. She also believes there is an urgent need for entry-level professional jobs across the county to help change the fortunes of what have become some of Europe's poorest areas.

There was a time when Black people in Truro could work at the town's golf club, but they weren't allowed to play, at least not in broad daylight. We learn about the history, and how the club is honoring those community members decades later.

Hi! Jess here. I just finished Catherine Newman's new novel Sandwich, and I'm feeling a lot of feelings. I expected Sandwich to be great because I love everything Catherine Newman writes, but it was a balm for a wound I did not realize I was nursing. That's what I love about books. Our feelings about them are highly personal and subjective. Some of my favorite books possess little literary merit but have found a place on my list of essential re-reads based on their emotional, temporal, or geographical entanglements.Sandwich is a town on Cape Cod, where the bicep would be if the Cape were to let up on tricep day. A big part of my childhood was spent in a lovely house on Corn Hill in Truro, the second to last town on the very tip of the arm, where the Cape would wear her watch if she cared about the time. When I was very small, my parents rented with friends, but when their best friend, Richard, bought our favorite of the hilltop houses, it became our second home, the place where my most visceral, cherished, rose-tinged memories were formed. The pine floors were soft under my feet, the sound of the bayside waves constant and gentle, and the light of the morning sun in the front bedroom remains my favorite filter. When the house burned in the eighties, we all wept as if a family member had died. My father oversaw its reconstruction down to the perfect placement of the toilet. In a house bursting with actors, musicians and other sorts of wonderfully loud and dramatic guests, it was the only place one could be alone to lean on the windowsill looking out at Provincetown, down at the rock that emerged at low tide, and the cute boy from the cottage two doors over. Richard died in 1992 and he took the magic of that house with him. We tried, we really did. We agreed to think of it as a new place, a future place, but our last gasp visit ended in an explosive family fight that served as final punctuation on that chapter of our lives.Cape Cod has changed since the seventies and eighties for everyone, of course. It's fancier, more curated. Less wild and dangerous, more pruned and planned. Everyone knows where the hidden freshwater pond is, and they are all there, all the time. I mourn the loss of what Cape Cod was to me, but Catherine Newman brought it back for me while I was immersed in her words, and for that, I am grateful. Her novel bears little resemblance to my lived experiences, and yet it evoked moments and images that resonated deep in my body. That's what great books do for us. They help us feel things we thought we'd lost. They describe the things we lived and how they felt. Read Sandwich. It will likely be something completely different for you than it was for me, but it will be something beautiful, nevertheless. And with that, here's our episode with Catherine Newman about genre-hopping and writing all the things. “We'll be tending our wounds. And we'll be as young and as whole as we're ever going to be.” - Catherine Newman, Sandwich#AmReadingKJ: Henna Artist by Alka JoshiRecipes for a Beautiful Life by Rebecca BarryJess: Sure Shot by Sarina BowenAnimal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara KingsolverMissing You by Harlan CobenCatherine: Know My Name by Chanel MillerSea Wife by Amity GaigeThe Chicken Sisters by KJ Dell'AntoniaOriginal shownotes: Why stick to any one genre? Our guest this week is Catherine Newman: memoirist, middle grade novelist, etiquette columnist and now the author of How to Be a Person: 65 Highly Useful, Super-Important Things to Learn Before You're Grown-Up. While she's at it, she writes a cooking blog, co-authored a book on crafts for kids and edits ChopChop, a kids cooking magazine. And she pens frequent funny essays for everything from O to the New York Times to the Cup of Jo website. In other words, she's putting a pastiche of writing together and making it work with an insouciant disregard for any and all advice about self-branding or owning an niche or sticking to one topic or identity.In fact, I'd argue that “insouciant disregard” might just BE her brand. This episode also includes the immortal words “I've never had to kill anything during the podcast before,” uttered by Jess—so that's a reason to listen right there. But there are plenty of others—this is a real nitty gritty episode on building a career and getting things done.Are you a “sticker”?Regular listeners know that whenever we meet our writing goals around here, we text each other one word: STICKER.

On the cold spring morning of April 19, 2020, a woman staggered from the woods outside Portapique Nova Scotia. Her bare feet were blackened from running through the woods, and she was covered in scrapes and bruises. She hammered on the door of a neighbor, who let her inside and called 911. She told police something had finally snapped in her abusive common-law partner Gabriel Wortman. But by the time she made that phone call, he'd already murdered 13 people and his rampage was far from over.
