Health and Wellness- A NELSON THOMSON LANGUAGE ARTS INFOREAD TITLE: It's Up To Me
- DURHAM BUSINESS TIMES: Beautiful Game, Big Business: What’s Canada’s biggest participation sport? Hockey? Baseball?
Try soccer. And why not? All you need is cleats, shin pads, a soccer ball and a little patch of green.
- DURHAM PARENT Trail Tales: A bird in the hand ...: “Note to self: bring LOTS of sunflower seeds next time.”
- DURHAM PARENT Trail Tales: A peaceful walk in the snow: The first snow of the year had fallen in Whitby. Not enough to take seriously; it barely covered the ground. We hoped we’d find more snow at Long Sault, where we planned to hike.
- DURHAM PARENT Trail Tales: Discover Darlington's Hidden Jewel: Out of sight on the grounds of Darlington Nuclear Generating Station, lies a hidden jewel, a link on the Waterfront Trail.
- DURHAM PARENT Trail Tales: Enjoy a Greenwood Getaway this summer: Bring a net, pack a lunch and you’re good for the day at Greenwood Conservation Area in Ajax.
- DURHAM PARENT Trail Tales: Explore Brooklin's Lion Trail: The Brooklin Lions Wilderness Trail is short but sweet.
- DURHAM PARENT Trail Tales: Explore Whitby's Waterfront: On a Sunday far too balmy for late October, my daughter and I bundled our bikes into the van and headed for the Whitby Waterfront Trail.
- DURHAM PARENT Trail Tales: Exploring Walker Woods
: “Did you see all the warblers?” shouted the cyclist pedaling toward us.
- DURHAM PARENT Trail Tales: Getting Down at Heber Down: Kids and creeks go together like peanut butter and jam.
- DURHAM PARENT Trail Tales: Take time to explore Purple Woods: “What do you call those tennis racket things that you put on your feet?” Alison asked.
“Snowshoes?”
“Yeah, snowshoes. They’d sure come in handy today.”
- DURHAM PARENT: Discover Lynde Shores: Lynde Shores is a zoo without bars. On our last visit, within minutes of parking the car, my children had already spotted a gaggle of Canada geese, a pair of swans, mallards galore and - for the very first time - a muskrat, industriously paddling by, not two metres from shore. The kids grabbed a great view of the muskrat's slicked-down fur and bright black eyes when he took a breather on the bank right below our feet.
- DURHAM PARENT: Durham Forest Comes Alive: Autumn's first flush had flamed the treetops when we hiked Durham Forest a couple of weeks ago. Imagine what a show we'll see by mid-October, I told my daughter.
- DURHAM TRADE AND COMMERCE: You Do What? A Trio of One-of-a-Kind Entrepreneurs: Where does the germ of a business idea sprout from? Peter Miller of Essential Communications knows. He’s the program coordinator for Durham’s Self-Employment Benefit program, a federally-funded training ground for entrepreneurs.
- HEALTHCARE CAREERS EXPRESS and LIVE IT!: Art Therapy -- A picture paints a thousand words : All art is a kind of confession, more or less oblique. All artists, if they are to survive, are forced, at last, to tell the whole story; to vomit the anguish up. ~ James Baldwin
- HEALTHCARE CAREERS EXPRESS: Psychologists -- Lean on Me: Lean on me, when you're not strong,
And I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on.
- HEALTHCARE CAREERS EXPRESS: Sports Medicine -- Keeping athletes in the game : …And the Maple Leafs have the puck… Sundin races down the ice… McGrattan cuts in to intercept ... And just hammers Sundin into the boards!
- LIVE IT!: Fat Chance: Today’s children face a deadly epidemic. It’s not caused by a virus or a bacillus or a genetic mutation. It requires no pharmaceutical intervention or vaccination – it’s eminently curable. Nonetheless, this generation of children threatens to be the first in recent history with a shorter lifespan than their parents. What can be done to protect our children?
- THE TORONTO SUN: Giving a choice -- Kingsway Arms at Clarington Centre opens its doors in Bowmanville: “Right next to this project, which has 129 rooms, we’re building 72 condo units, connected by an underground walkway, so people can buy a unit and get access to all the facilities here.” ~ Bill Daniell, president, Kaitlin Group
