Provincial funding tops up fun for local festivals | Music | Entertainment | London Free Press
"Two of the London region’s hottest July outdoor music festivals are getting big cash from Queen’s Park.
The provincial government’s Celebrate Ontario 2011 is providing $400,000 to Sarnia Rogers Bayfest and $75,000 to London’s TD Sunfest, an announcement says. By coincidence, both mega-fests open their 2011 editions on July 7. With its mix of touring rock and country headliners, Bayfest is ticketed and admission-charging. Sunfest is a free event staged in London’s Victoria Park."

"The Ministry of Natural Resources is a public service. As such the Ministry and the politicians who are supposed to direct the Ministry need to pay attention to the concerns of the public. Endless cuts to MNR staff and budgets, locked doors on MNR offices, no gas for conservation officers trucks, land use plans that do not include local involvement, fisheries and wildlife management plans that do not use input from local expertise and the most glaring inadequacy… no public accountability"
The irony is, that these lands are the first part of any RTO strategy. They need to be well maintained.

NiagaraThisWeek Article: War re-enactor wins heritage award
"Grimsby’s Tim Warnick wants people to remember the time Canadians fought off an invasion from the south. He wants them to remember the rude wake-up call the country received, one that galvanized national spirit. He wants locals to remember the brave Canadians who fought at Fort Erie and Ridgeway.
Yet, Warnick isn’t thinking of the War of 1812. He’s thinking of an almost forgotten chapter in Canadian history, the Fenian invasions of the 1860s and 1870s. The raids were an attempt by Irish Nationalists to strike at the British Empire which, at that time, claimed the entirety of Ireland."
