Community Event - Kingston - KFPL Live Presents "Spare Parts"

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

The latest installment of KFPL Live (Kingston Frontenac Public Library's monthly speakers' series) is entitled Spare Parts. This interactive presentation by Maxime Chouinard, Curator of the Museum of Health Care, explores the history of medical enhancements through the Museum's collection of dentures, prosthetics and pacemakers. 

Paralympic athletes have made us familiar with modern prostheses, and many of us have or know someone with a high-tech pacemaker or extremely lifelike dentures.  We probably all have a sense that these are just the latest versions of objects with a long history, perhaps remembering the story of George Washington's wooden teeth.  In any century people may have been born without a limb, or risked losing one in battle or in an accident; even if nothing else happened, most could expect to lose teeth as they aged.  Human ingenuity led to the development of replacement body parts, at least as far back as the ancient Egyptians.  Modern advances, like synthetic materials and myoelectricity, where electrical signals from a patient's muscles are used to move an artificial limb, are built on a long tradition.

Community Event - Peterborough/Lindsay - Get Tickets for YWCA Empty Bowls at The Venue

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
1519405200 1519410600

The idea for YWCA Empty Bowls is simple: guests of the event receive a delicious lunch of soups, salads, breads and desserts, generously donated by local restaurants and businesses and select either:

  • a beautiful, hand-crafted bowl, created and donated by local artisans of the Kawartha Potters Guild, Kawartha Wood Turners Guild and Artisans Centre Peterborough, or
  • a charitable tax receipt.

Guests are given the option to dine-in at The Venue, or pick up their pre-ordered lunch to-go from YWCA, making it easy and convenient for everyone to take part. 

New this year: Guests may now choose to receive either a charitable tax receipt or a hand-crafted bowl.

All proceeds from YWCA Empty Bowls directly support YWCA JustFood and Crossroads Shelter's Nutritional Wellbeing Program, helping local women and children enjoy fresh ingredients, learn life-changing food skills and build community.

Premier Kathleen Wynne is inviting people to join her at an open public forum in Windsor to discuss how to create more fairness and opportunity in Southwestern Ontario in this period of rapid economic change.

The Premier's fifth Town Hall will take place on Thursday, February 15 at the St. Clair College Centre for the Arts at 201 Riverside Drive West in Windsor and will be moderated by former CAW president Ken Lewenza. Admission to the event is free and open to anyone who wishes to share their thoughts on the issues affecting them and their communities. All questions are welcome.

Since kicking off the provincewide town hall forums last November, the Premier has met with over 1,000 people of all ages across Ontario, hearing their stories and discussing a range of issues, from the minimum wage to health care to international trade.

General admission seating will be available on a first-come, first-served basis at the St. Clair College Centre for the Arts. Doors will open at 6:00 p.m., and the Premier's Town Hall will start at 7:00 p.m. Those who wish to attend are encouraged to RSVP. Please note, an RSVP does not guarantee admission but helps ensure that adequate seating is available. Visit https://www.ontario.ca/form/ontario-town-hall-windsor

Ontario's plan to create fairness and opportunity during this period of rapid economic change includes a higher minimum wage and better working conditions, free tuition for hundreds of thousands of students, easier access to affordable child care, and free prescription drugs for everyone under 25 through the biggest expansion of medicare in a generation.
