The Volunteer Halton Youth Engagement Research Team is doing research to understand the facilitators and barriers to volunteerism and civic engagement among youth aged 14 to 24 in the City of Burlington.

Led by a team of 10 youth, the Youth Engagement Research Team wants to know more about what young people are looking for in terms of volunteering and what might get in the way of a positive volunteering experience. We are collecting feedback from the youth that live and/or attend school in Burlington because we believe that their voices should be heard in matters that pertain to them, and that includes volunteering and community service! 

As of August 22 we are at 350 surveys!  

PLEASE HELP US REACH AS MANY YOUTH AS POSSIBLE BY SHARING THIS EMAIL AND/OR THE SURVEY LINK WITH

DEADLINE EXTENDED: Survey closes September 21, 2025

We’re honoured to bring the songs of Gordon Lightfoot to the Meridian Centre for the Arts in Fort Erie this fall. 

This special performance will pay tribute to the 50th anniversary of the Edmund Fitzgerald, the Great Lakes freighter that tragically sank on November 10, 1975, claiming the lives of all 29 crew members. The storm that night produced 35-foot waves and 60 mph winds, overwhelming the ship and leaving no survivors. Moved by the story, Gordon Lightfoot went on to write "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald"—a deeply emotional ballad that remains a defining part of his legacy. Join us as we honour the memory of the crew and the legacy of Lightfoot's timeless tribute. TICKETS ON SALE NOW FROM:  WWW.CLASSICLIGHTFOOTLIVE.COM/fort-erie-tickets-october-2025. Sat. Oct 4, 2025 at 6.00 PM. Meridian Centre for the Arts. 1640 Garrison Rd., Fort Erie ON.

His writing has regularly appeared in the national press, and magazines as diverse as Air Force, esprit de corps and Zoomer. He has also worked as host/contributor for most CBC Radio network programs, NPR in the U.S. and on TV Ontario. He taught journalism at Toronto’s Centennial College for 18 years.

Last fall, just as Ted’s new book Battle of Britain: Canadians in Their Finest Hour became a national bestseller, he was invited to Rideau Hall in Ottawa for his investiture as a Member of the Order of Canada, “for advancing our understanding of Canadian military history as an acclaimed historical author, journalist and broadcaster.”

The Canadian Club of Halton presents a dynamic forum to explore issues that matter most to Canada. It provides a welcoming social environment for inquisitive, influential, and engaged Canadians. The Canadian Club is an opportunity for all who share a keen interest in contemporary Canadian life and who seek context, perspective and a deeper level of understanding. The club promotes Canadian identity by providing notable, knowledgeable and celebrated speakers on a wide variety of subjects.
