URBAN GARDENING
The emotional well-being and happiness reported while gardening was similar to what people reported while biking, walking, or dining out.
Higher emotional wellbeing for women & low-income people than men & med / upper income.

The debate over Billy Bishop Airport isn't just about jets vs. noise, it's about future of Toronto’s waterfront. For many, the harbour is cottage country. Do we take that away for increased flights? Or continue to restore the connection to Lake Ontario? open.substack.com/pub/waterk…

20% of world’s surface fresh water is flowing by the Island but taking water for granted turned this privilege into a crisis. Lack of investment in proper sewage treatment was a red flag. Montreal warning residents of water shortages this summer. cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/…

Toronto's aging infrastructure means a heavy downpour quickly triggers sewer overflows. Engineering fixes take decades, but honest communication shouldn't. Why the City needs to ditch the PR spin and tell the truth about our water quality open.substack.com/pub/waterk…

Please keep your dog on a leash & away from wildlife. If you see someone who has their dog off of a leash in an undesignated area please inform them of the by-laws & that it is baby season. If they don't, call 311. Hearts are broken AGAIN because of a dog attack. Thank you

There has to be a better way! Closing outdoor educational learning centres is bad for students. #onted #tdsb cp24.com/local/toronto/2026/…

Nothing like a forest floor blanketed in White Trilliums to remind us of the beauty of moms, resilient, elegant, and always blooming right where they’re needed most. @swimdrinkfish Happy Mother’s Day.

Considering deep history of Great Lakes/St Lawrence, mixed with modern science, the proposals for Great Lakes nuclear expansion & lake-filling for airports, are steps backward. Biinaagami suggests prosperity isn’t possible when sacrificing clean water. substack.com/@waterkeepermar…

In our divided world, built on labels & character assassination, we’re losing the ability to find common ground. Soundkeeper & Waterkeeper Terry Backer always said: respect isn't just a courtesy, it’s our life raft.

There are 23 federal MPs in Toronto and they have to be onside with @Fordnation for the attack on the Toronto Waterfront to go ahead (the Tripartite Agreement includes Feds, Province and the City). #HandsOffOurWaterfront #NOJetsTO

Lake Ontario defines Toronto. Why are we witnessing a 1950s-style land grab for industry & convenience? Federal laws: Navigable waters, fisheries act, migratory birds will trigger assessments. Federal gov’t must not avoid scrutiny. open.substack.com/pub/waterk…

It would be nice to swim/put our feet into Black Creek to cool off. Nobody can because of the sewage. This flows to Lake Ontario. The City is spending hundreds of millions of taxpayers money & will still dump sewage into this watershed. petition c.org/P4RnYRrS76

The era of No Swimming in urban waters is over. From Seine in Paris to Lake Ontario in Kingston, in Vancouver and across the Great Lakes, a global movement is restoring our water. Here is why the 2026 Swimmable Waters revolution is growing in Canada. open.substack.com/pub/waterk…
