| Spending time with George Chuvalo and listening to him speak at last night's mental health speaker's event was truly magical. You could sit and listen to his amazing stories from in and outside the boxing ring and you can't help but be moved by his personal tragedies and his unwavering commitment to help young people. George is a true gentleman who gave his time to everyone who attended and we appreciated his time. Also, a special thanks to Dan Carter who continues to support our work at Ontario Shores and gives so much back to the community. Also thanks to our partners at Durham Mental Health ... more»

| Well a Happy 2012 to you and yours and apologies to Julie Andrews for the headline.
I thought I would do a year in review of five of my favourite Ontario Shores items from 2011. I have to say this was really hard as it seems almost everyday there is something remarkable going on around here and I just can't cover it all.

| Well once again the Imagine Film Festival is in the books. Last night's event with Steven Page was a hit and featured an insightful discussion led by Dan Carter, followed by a great musical performance by Steven. Steven visited with attendees and signed autographs and posed for photos after the event. Thanks to Steven and all those who made for an amazing night.
