    Chef Rob on Food: Entertain Educate Engage

    Chef Rob on Food: Entertain Educate Engage

    During the celebration of Black History Month, Chef Rob Thomas talks about how he plans to create a special dinner to celebrate how Black culture has influenced the food we eat. To further promote and celebrate Black History Month Chef Rob is doing a livestream on Thursday February 22 to demonstrate one of his signature dishes. In addition to the livestream, the chef is preparing a special menu for a Winnipeg Jets hockey game as the Jets celebrate Black History Month. Go Jets Go!According to Chef Rob, being a chef is akin to being a mad scientist. He explains that while you are always trying to make the last meal your best, you are already planning on how you can make improvements to the next culinary creation.

    When Chef Rob was asked about the relationship between importance of celebrating Black History and the preparation of food, the one take away that Chef Rob would like those that participate in his live stream show or participate in person is “I would love for the participants to take away that there is so much more to the cuisine than just what’s being shown to them. I’m not expecting someone to become a great historian on Caribbean food but take some of that knowledge that you you’ve learned and then just dig a tiny bit deeper just to further your knowledge and history a little.”You can get Chef Rob’s recipes to some of his signature dishes through the Home Trends magazine (https://canadianhometrends.com) and on his active social channels listed below.

    How Holidays Shape and Define Culture

    How Holidays Shape and Define Culture

    Ever wonder why we celebrate holidays and what they mean to our culture? Holidays serve as a reflection of a society’s shared values, historical milestones, and unique tradition. Holidays offer key insights into cultural identities, showcasing and celebrating how diverse the world is.

    But are we, in Winnipeg, in Manitoba reflecting just how diverse and therefore inclusive our holidays are?

    Dr. Rehman Abdulrehman thinks we need to add a number of more dates to the holiday calendar. Dr. Abdulreham, is a clinical psychologist with the Clinic Psychology Manitoba and founder of Lead with Diversity. In our conversation Dr. Abdulrehman recalls that Winnipeg has been dubbed one of the most racist cities in Canada, and the goal is to make Winnipeg one of the most inclusive. He goes on to say that if we truly celebrate peoples differences and acknowledge where they come form and their holidays, they will feel a sense of belonging.

    Dr. Abdulrehman has just written a book titled, Developing Anti-Racist Cultural Competence.

    If Airlines Can Move Horses safely, Why Can’t They do the Same for My Wheelchair?

    If Airlines Can Move Horses safely, Why Can’t They do the Same for My Wheelchair?

    Peter Tonge show notes:If airlines can move horses safely by air…why can’t they do the same for my wheelchair?My guest Peter Tonge wants answers. And why not? Airline travel can be stressful for anyone, and particularly for a person with a disability. A disabled traveller has the usual concerns, such as scheduling and connections, but also the additional concern about the safety of their mobility equipment.According to Tonge, worldwide, airlines have a poor record for safely transporting mobility equipment.This can be explained that the airlines treat mobility equipment like luggage. So if your mobility equipment is damaged, you go to the lost and/pr damaged department. It is treated like a missing suitcase rather than a vital piece of medical equipment.Peter Tonge brings a broad range of experience to his work. University degrees, specializing in international trade, a law degree, specializing as a criminal defense attorney.Tonge has his own podcast “Talking Rotary” and stas fit and active as a wheelchair fencer and as a member of a local “murder ball ” team.Facebook -PeterATonge

    Every child and youth in Manitoba has inherent rights. These rights are enshrined in the United Nations Conventions on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). In Manitoba in 1985, Judge Kimelman released the Kimelman report based on the “Sixties Scoop”. In 1993 the Office of the Child Advocate opens in Manitoba.

    The top 5 Children’s Rights that needed protection identified by the Advocate were the Right to express opinions and be heard; the Right to contact with family; the Right to quality services while in government care; the Right to food, clothing, and a safe home and the Right to physical and mental health care.
