so much to do. so little time!

It is finally spooky season! Not that Oshawa ever waits for an invitation to bring out the best of the ghouls and goblins, alternative and altruistic. This October, check Oshawa out like you have never seen it before! While I love that Halloween décor hits the stores starting in July (tea towels of skeleton going to the beach, and mugs of ghostie getting a popsicle) and that autumn has the best candle scents, it is also important to remember the ways we need to take care of o

It is August in Oshawa and I can’t help but wonder: is there any interest in Oshawa having a drive-in movie theatre? Oshawa’s last drive in closed in the 1980s, and since then, we have seen a surge in online streaming.

For more than 150 y

One of my favourite things about the summer is the long nights, the beautiful sunsets, and the warm evening walks. This is the time I cherish, as I walk my dog and contemplate on what is next for me. Luckily, some peonies are still in bloom! The moon always gives me comfort, reminds me to slow down, and encourages me to shed what does not serve me. July always leads me to going inward. This year, I find myself thinking of Bawaajigewin, an Ojibway word meaning “the action of t
