Today, on National Day for #TruthAndReconciliation, let’s recognize the impact of residential schools, and the painful, ongoing effects on all Indigenous peoples.
Let’s also commit to working to achieve “free, prior, and informed consent” when taking actions which may which impact them.

Rest in peace, Jim.
A tireless leader & advocate for St. Catharines & for the Niagara Peninsula.

Really enjoyed the wonderful production of "Major Barbara" at the Shaw Festival yesterday. Shaw's 1905 themes of salvation & poverty and money & gunpowder may be more relevant and revealing in the world of today.
Congratulations to the entire cast and crew!

Bill 5 gives the Ford Gov’t unfettered power to name anywhere a "special economic zone” with no development rules.
It could lead to a pipeline up the #BruceTrail, miningQueenston Heights, even a casino on the brink of #NiagaraFalls.
