I can empathize as some years are harder than others. When I first graduated (BEd ‘87) I couldn’t find a job anywhere so I ended up in the insurance industry as a marketing rep. My degree got me that job. I finally made it back to teaching in 2000, where I stayed for 20+ yrs. Hang in there.

Mikisew Cree First Nation Billy-Joe Tuccaro spoke about the impact that toxic chemicals leaching and spilling from the oil sands is having on his people.

It was an excellent episode!

Black-and-white photo of seven uniformed soldiers seated closely together on the floor inside a metal-walled interior, wearing helmets and military gear. In the foreground sits Sgt. Gander, a large black dog facing the camera with a collar visible. The soldiers rest their arms on each other’s shoulders and knees, some looking toward the camera, with bags and equipment placed around their feet.

On April 15, 1935, Sgt. Gander was born in Newfoundland.
He eventually became the mascot of the Royal Rifles of Canada and went with them to Hong Kong.
At the Battle of Hong Kong in 1941, he gave his life to save his comrades and died a hero.
This is his story.

We have a president who took the nation into a war for reasons he never articulated, without a strategy for how to respond if Iran did the expected and closed the Strait of Hormuz, and without an exit strategy if Iran doesn’t surrender.

Trump is cornered, and he’s going stark-raving mad.

We’d love to have our boil water notice gone. It’s been in place for over a year due to crumbling infrastructure the private owner neglected for years. Hopefully some federal/provincial grants will be coming forward.

Since I’m only 41km from the US border, I am profoundly concerned about the situation Trump has placed the world in.
