Breathtaking mismanagement at the University of Guelph leaves 1300 new students who were promised residence, without a place to live.

Those responsible should be given the boot. We’ve been documenting the relationship between the affordable housing crisis and Universities increasing enrolment in the absence of new housing for over two years now. This is just wilful neglect or deep ignorance at this point.

It will deepen the housing crisis in Guelph for those most vulnerable to homelessness. Housing is a system. Parents from other elsewhere will now fight tooth and nail - and will spend what they need to spend - to access housing for their kids (as they should - what else are they going to do?).

Those in Guelph on a fixed income, or vulnerable to homelessness, become more vulnerable when supply is tightened so dramatically. This terrible mismanagement will reverberate throughout this small city, and in the lives of those most vulnerable.

We often hear about lessons learned from COVID & the degree to which we are prepared for the next pandemic.

The answer is painfully clear; we are not where we need to be.

H5N1 has epidemic/pandemic potential & is spreading in plain sight under our nose (US dairy farms) with a lacklustre response.

While there is now significant improvement in the response in recent days, speed/transparency/action is is key, and we did not see that upfront.

"Lessons learned" are only as good as the action we take from them.

For a dog who was afraid of thunder, Roselle the guide dog did her job calmly through the ear-splitting noise and crashing debris that engulfed the 78th floor of the North Tower on 9/11.

Her owner, Michael Hingson, blind since birth, smelled jet fuel. Yet he trusted that his dog would not lead him into danger.

Unsure if Roselle could hear him or see hand signals through the smoke, Hingson gave the command “Forward.”

Stopping only for dog kisses to calm a panicked woman, the canine-human team led a group of people down more than 1,463 steps

Leadership is never about your success. It’s never about recognition for what you do. It’s about using the gifts that you have been given to support others in living their best lives.

#VAW shelters were not intended as a long-term solution, but women fleeing violence sometimes spend years in shelters because of a lack of affordable housing.

Addressing this issue is key to ending #WomensHomelessness.

Ontario's COVID wastewater signal (below) & hospitalizations (not shown) continue to decline.

We've had spring waves in 2021 & 2022, however in the absence of any major variant emerging, it would be unlikely to have a 2023 spring wave that is as impactful as prior years.
