Our JCP Experience

Fri, 26 Feb 2021 15:48:33 -0500

Over the past year or so, we have been fortunate enough to participate in an Ontario Job Creation Partnership, funded through Employment Ontario. This program has allowed us to bring some much needed expertise to NWL, while allowing participants some great first hand experience with both our memebrs and our organization.

First, we received a significant boost to our social media, which was much needed. This also helped us to go through our rebranding process. Next, we were able to focus on member outreach, to gather feedback, update our database to have current member information, and to work towards developing better resources for our Area Coorindators and general members. Finally, we were able to relaunch our legacy Business Watch Program under the new name of My Business Neighbourhood, and use it to develop a fundrasing strategy for moving forward.

Staying Connected Important Now More Than Ever, Especially for Seniors

Wed, 04 Nov 2020 15:41:33 -0500

As 2020 comes to a close, there are still many questions surrounding COVID-19. Communities have seesawed between loosening and tightening social restrictions as instances of infection have dictated. And while everyone has been on the lookout for some sort of consistency, it’s been difficult to determine what the “new normal” will entail.

However, one of the biggest concerns regarding social distancing has been its effects on metal health. While keeping ourselves isolated from others has helped curb infections, the long-term consequences of limiting human interaction is a problematic one, especially when it comes to the elderly population.

Ward Groups Now Up On Facebook

Tue, 03 Nov 2020 09:49:46 -0500

Facebook Groups are great ways to communicate with people who share similar interests. And it’s not uncommon for regular FB users to be associated with multiple groups at a time. With ward groups, NWL is hoping to encourage discussions that directly relate to particular areas or neighbourhoods in the city. Whether it be local events, friendly recognitions or safety concerns, NWL’s new ward groups will help keep you up to speed in your community.

Recent media reports include comments by Mayor Ed Holder and Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Chris Mackie, which highlight considerations in planning for Halloween.

Tips for a Safe & Spooky Halloween!

Mon, 26 Oct 2020 18:31:08 -0400

Like most of 2020, Halloween is undoubtedly going to look a lot different from previous years. But different doesn’t have to mean worse—it just means we have to get a little bit more creative in trying to celebrate our more ghoulish tendencies.

While health authorities haven’t officially nixed trick-or-treating during the pandemic, they have urged people to exercise good judgement by taking proper precautions. Recent media reports include comments by Mayor Ed Holder and Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Chris Mackie, which highlight considerations in planning for Halloween. Recently, Ontario has rolled back some rules on social gatherings, and has even reverted three major areas (opens in a new tab) in the province to modified stage 2 restrictions. You can read a CTV article here for more local details (opens in a new tab).

The Dangers of Daylight Saving Time

Thu, 02 Nov 2017 11:12:12 -0400

The concept of Daylight Saving was first conceived by Benjamin Franklin. It was inspired when he woke up one day at 6am and saw light coming in through his window. He considered that if he had slept until noon, like he and the rest of Paris normally would, he would have slept through 6 hours of daylight and in turn been awake for 6 hours through the night by candle light. The latter was much more expensive so, in the spirit of economy, he thought up the novel idea of daylight saving and how it could save Parisians a great deal of money!
