Another weekend for Northwest Monitor, and this show will feature combating bullying in Fort Frances schools, to the Tbaytel For Good program to the Craft Revival in Thunder Bay.
First we start in Kenora, where the District Services Board has delivered what it believes is a fair and reasonable budget.
As Mike Ebbeling reports, staff were able to keep municipal costs from escalating while maintaining and leveling off increasing services.
There’s a direct effort to combat bullying in Fort Frances schools.
Part of that includes showing what happens to many bullies later in life such as incarceration.
But, getting to students when they’re young is vital, and helping them to realize they have a role to play.
Randy Thoms explains.
It’s a new milestone for a busy Thunder Bay craft show.
One sign of it being busy is how its grown from 180 vendors in the past to 250 this event.
Colin Redston sat down with the founder of the Craft Revival to talk about the event, which takes over the city’s north side today.
The first prize of $5,000 has been awarded to the Borrowing Cupboard in Kenora, from the TBay Tel For Good program this past week.
To add to that good news, the group recently found out it doesn’t have to pay the hospital anything going forward to stay there.
Tim Davidson talked to Theresa Bowen about the award and how the medical device lending program got started.
