    During the inquest, we heard a lot about the lack of communication + coordination between shelters, respite centres + public health + community agencies. Now we are hearing of more overdoses and even deaths. This has to change immediately.

    Woodgreen operates a 55+ transitional housing program called The Edwin. Challenges are the continued fragmentation in service delivery & for older adults navigating systems. All kinds of little clusters but nothing is woven together. Adding more one-offs isn't going to help.

    It doesn’t quite have an English equivalent, but the Punjabi term ‘chardi kala’ roughly translates to maintaining a joyful and optimistic approach to life. Circumstances are beyond control but ‘chardi kala’ is a choice. In 2019 and beyond, may we all stay in ‘chardi kala’!

    Couldn't agree more! #35 Tony Esposito was CRUCIAL to 's success and should be remembered much more for his contributions! He'd never even faced the before, but played against them like he'd known them for years. He was simply BRILLIANT!

    Caldo verde, the most Portuguese of soups, is often served at midnight on New Year's eve. Its comforting taste helps everyone feel warm and optimistic about the New Year!
