Orillia has recently installed drilling accommodations from northern Alberta  as a new housing area for the homeless population in their city. This comes just after the new Tiny homes development project out in peterborough has come with a lot of success. They too think this will be a helpful way to appease the growing unhoused population in the city. General Manager of Social and Community Services for Simcoe County, Mina Fayez-Bahgat, told us more on this development.

Earlier this month Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced $1 billion-dollar of funding over the next 5 years.  However, no specifics have been released as of yet. Brenda Moore  is the Board Chair of the Kingston Food Sharing Project, who is watching to see what the budget will be for the national food program that feeds 16 000 students. We spoke to her about the situation.

Rising Basketball star, Aaliyah Edwards, was officially drafted as the 6th pick for the Washington Mystics as a forward for the team. The Kingston native is a two-time all-American with the NCAA, with a number of accolades in her career. We were elated to celebrate with her and this achievement.
