· The Environmental Youth Hero Award for a student or group of students in Kawartha Lakes who have shown a commitment to improving the wellness of the environment.
Nominations close on Friday, February 28 and can be submitted on our Environments page.
The Dreams We Have: Films about daring to dream of a different future
Written by Sylvia Keesmaat
As the days get longer and our thoughts turn towards spring, St. James Anglican Church is once again offering a film series during the five weeks leading up to Easter. This year’s theme, “The Dreams We Have: Films about daring to dream of a different future,” explores the many ways that our own dreams, and the dreams of the people around us, can challenge us, reveal who we really are, and create outcomes that we had never dreamed of.

Free Meditation at curious? starting February 4th
Submitted by Anne Kulmala
With the hustle and bustle of daily life, we often find ourselves overwhelmed, anxious and stressed. Focusing on jobs, money, people, children and all manner of outside challenges, we leave our inner self to take a back seat to external pressures. All challenges feel bigger and heavier when our inner strength is low. Meditation can be a key component in strengthening our inner self. Time spent quietly connecting to our true selves allows us to refocus, clarify our purpose and re-energize our body, mind and spirit.
