#Halloween night is approaching - make sure costumes aren’t just spooky, they’re safe. Choose bright colours or add reflective tape so kids are visible on the streets. #TurnSafetyOn. https://parachute.ca/en/injury-topic/halloween-safety/

One of my favourite pieces of chamber music is the Mendelssohn Octet. So happy to experience it as the last Stratford Summer Music concert of 2025. Also a new octet work by @jcmi.bsky.social

Lower speeds save lives! A pedestrian hit at 50 km/h is nearly 6x more likely to be killed than at 30 km/h. Let’s advocate for safer speed limits: parachute.ca/ourfutureroads #OurFutureRoads #ParachuteVZ #CYRSW2025

Frost warnings in southern Ontario. I don’t think it will be a killer frost in our garden but pulling in the tomatoes and some nasturtium blooms, just in case. #autumn #harvest

"It's not just about finding kid-friendly shows, it's about introducing literacy, culture and critical thinking about the larger issues in life that they will one day confront, because 'All the world's a stage.'"

Adam Waxman reflects on the importance of bringing children to the Stratford Festival.

The cyclist and motorist collided; or the bicycle and vehicle collided. Don't pin blame on a person driving a bicycle and assume a vehicle drives itself and caused a collision.

“For 60 years, car advertising has programmed us that driving is freedom, that cars are how we get around, that driving — even reckless driving —is a symbol of status & power. But what if a car marketing vet (aka @tomflood.bsky.social)
used his skills to highlight the insanity of car culture?”

Referring to crashes as “accidents” or claiming that “speed wasn’t a factor” in a crash, are not random language choices. They’re the result of PR campaigns. Listen to this really important interview with @grantennis.bsky.social by @brooklynspoke.bsky.social @thewaroncars.bsky.social on “Dark PR.”
