Bravo: Taking The Kids For A Ride On The Vintage Ski Boose
/Peterborough musician Melissa Payne posted this amazing pic on social media of taking the girls for a spin on the ski boose on her 1986 Bravo the other day. Melissa herself is dressed in a snowsuit onsie. So yea it's 2015, but the 1970s/80s are being channelled here bigtime. (Send us your "vintage"/retro 2015 Canadian winter pics by emailing us.)
Tweet & Text-Up: Fleming College Promoting Mental Health Awareness Through Bell Let’s Talk
/
Staff and students at Fleming College will promote the importance of mental health awareness through the Bell Let’s Talk initiative on Wednesday, January 28th.
The Counselling department, along with faculty and students in the college’s community services programs, are inviting students and employees to join in the conversation about mental health at a special tweet and text-up that will take place at the Sutherland Campus.
Bell will donate five cents to mental health initiatives for every tweet, text, email or long distance phone call made through the Bell network. All who would like to participate at Fleming are invited to wear a blue shirt and stand in the main foyer at 11:55 a.m. for two minutes of texting and tweeting.
“We would like to raise money for mental health awareness," says Fleming Counsellor Anita Arnold. "Myths about mental illness contribute to stigma so awareness is critical to dispel those myths and end stigma. Be aware of the language we use to describe mental health issues. Be kind to those who struggle with or have been affected by mental illness. Listen, ask questions and, most importantly, talk about it."
