On Truth and Reconciliation Day we, like many of you, recommit ourselves to learning more about how to be better inhabitants of the lands we live on and how to be better neighbours to those whose roots here go much deeper than ours. We are deeply grateful to the many Indigenous authors whose works guide us.

Old favourites, new friends. What are you reading this September 30th?

We are so happy to help the Gananoque Lions Club with this awesome calendar fundraiser. Alison and I used to foster Guide Dogs for Canadian Guide Dogs For The Blind and we know just how much work and money goes into feeding, vet bills, and equipment and how important the dogs become as partners for their new owners. You can get your calendar in store for a grand total of $20 cash! A great investment in a great program.
