National Day of Mourning
If you're wondering why the flag around Town are flying at half mast today it's because it's a National Day of Mourning commemorating workers whose lives have been lost or injured in the workplace.

Ski Straps doing Double Duty
You know what happens, a bit of nice weather pops up and you get inspired to get the bikes out of the shed, pump up the tires and you're scrambling around in the garage to find stuff you need to get the bike on the trail. As it happens my brother Chris and I decided to go for a ride on the Georgian Trail and we didn't have our super high performance biking pants handy (we don't really have them and if I did I don't think they would help my performance anyways), and we couldn't find pant clips in the garage...but Dan the genius found ski straps that worked just great.Monday, April 18, 2011
The Environment Network needs your help!
The Environment Network needs your help!
On May 13th, StoneTree Naturopathic Clinic, and the Environment Network are bringing Dr. Walter Crinnion to Collingwood to talk to us about everyday toxins, how they affect our health and what to do about it. All funds from the ticket sales will go support the initiatives of the Environment Network and the wonderful projects and programs.
Dr. Crinnion is an internationally recognized expert in environmental medicine, the author of Clean, Green and Lean, and is an accomplished speaker. If you have any interest in health and the environment, he is a speaker that is not to be missed. For more info, http://www.facebook.com/l/a69c1Grf-FyPbY-XCEwO6eqz4sQ/crinnion.eventbrite.com
This event will be held at the Gayety Theatre in Collingwood from 7-9PM and we are aiming for a full-house as all proceeds from the event will be going to the Environment Network.
Tickets are $12 and can be bought on-line at http://www.facebook.com/l/a69c1Grf-FyPbY-XCEwO6eqz4sQ/crinnion.eventbrite.com , or in person at the Environment Network or StoneTree Naturopathic Clinic.
How we are hoping you can help:
1. Buy a block of 10 tickets ($120.00) and share them with your staff and / or clients. This is an excellent opportunity for businesses with Health and Safety Committees to increase their knowledge surrounding issues such as cancer prevention, diabetes prevention, respiratory issues, etc.
2. Buy a ticket and come to the event ( http://www.facebook.com/l/a69c1Grf-FyPbY-XCEwO6eqz4sQ/crinnion.eventbrite.com ).
3. Promote the event to your customer email list and/or FaceBook page.
4. Hang a poster in your place of business. Let me know you want one and I will get it to you.
5. Tell every one of your customers who are passionate about the environment and health about it. It really is a unique opportunity to have an expert of this quality here is Collingwood. It is a “don’t miss” event.
Thanks so much for doing what you do in this town and being part of the solution.
