In Memory of Walter Weppler

Feb

2011

Time has laid his hand Upon my heart gently, not smiting it, But as a harper lays his open palm Upon his harp, to deaden its vibrations. - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow It was a year ago today we lost our Papa / Husband / Father / Brother / Friend, Walter Weppler. Sometimes life changes when we least expect it, and it is only later that we come to appreciate how well deserved eternal rest can be after a life of hard work. Walter worked hard, especially at being the best he could be for others. And now, even though it is a VERY long distance call we know that he will always be there, waiting, at the other end of the phone. Missing you! Mark, Lori, Ben and Sam Tweet … Read entire article »

(Oct. 27, 2010, Owen Sound) – Citizens from Grey and Bruce Counties recently gathered in Owen Sound to discuss and lay out key priorities for the LocalMotive Project. Discussion centered around turning the economic challenges of the region into opportunities for increased community cohesion and a more resilient local economy. The recognition of challenges such as rapidly increasing energy costs, imposed limits on municipal decision making, and unnecessary regulatory burden, led to agreement around six critical issues. “These issues need to be addressed immediately if we are to ensure the viability of our regional economy and culture over the next five to ten years”, stated Shane Jolley, coordinator of the Project.

Workplace Safety

Jun

2010

By Emily Grubb Youth Services Officer Service Canada Centre for Youth The day started just like any other day. Candace1 went to work at the paper mill to earn money for school. She tried to take a short cut over a conveyor belt – supervisors and co-workers did it all the time. She fell and her foot got caught in the conveyor system. There was no emergency button close by – the only reason Candace is alive today is because a co-worker was able to stop the conveyor belt. Candace’s leg was damaged almost beyond repair and had to be amputated below the knee. She may have walked into work that morning, but it was the last day she would ever walk on her own two legs. It is usually inexperience which places young workers … Read entire article »
