The U.S. Navy’s Blue Angels flight demonstration squadron demonstrates skill on such a high level it seems almost supernatural. To say that such aerobatics requires precision and attention to detail is an understatement of laughable proportions. The mission of the Blue Angels is to showcase the teamwork and professionalism of the United States Navy and Marine Corps through flight demonstrations and community outreach while inspiring a culture of excellence and service to country.
The Blue Angels is the United States Navy’s flight demonstration squadron, known for their aerobatic maneuvers in blue and gold F/A-18 Hornets. They were formed in 1946 and have been thrilling audiences with their precision flying ever since. For more information and details about the Blue Angels, you can visit their official website at https://www.blueangels.navy.mil/.
Collingwood, ON [10 June 2024] – June is National Indigenous History Month in Canada and on June 21, National Indigenous Peoples Day is honoured. Throughout June explore the different opportunities available in Collingwood to celebrate and recognize the distinct heritage, cultures, customs, languages, and traditions of First Nation, Inuit, and Métis peoples who have lived on and cared for this land since time immemorial.
Throughout June, the Town of Collingwood is supporting several initiatives in collaboration with the community including:
Four-time Canadian Folk Music Award recipient and 2022 Vocal Group of the Year, concert headliner Twin Flames builds bridges across cultures, continents, and styles, and has been celebrated internationally. Twin Flames’ unique style and sound make it difficult to narrow their work to a single genre as they craft enticing musical arrangements, standout harmonies, and beautiful rhythmic patterns while sharing a genuine love for songwriting that stands out lyrically and melodically for the world to hear.
From the beginning, this husband-and-wife duo have chosen to let their music speak for itself while displaying pride in their heritage through a mix of songs and languages.
Show opener, J.D. Crosstown is a Canadian Folk Singer whose passion is telling stories with his own words; Stories that capture the poignancy of a time and a place, heartbreak, loss, hope, love, adventure, and friendship.
Heavily inspired by the stories embedded in traditional folk, country, and blues songs, J.D. Crosstown has developed his unique style that reflects all these genres. From country waltzes to finger-style blues, J.D. always keeps people guessing what he’ll play next.
Having many hopes and aspirations, J.D.’s main concern is that his songs provide people with a place to lean back and focus for a moment or two.

China has cornered the market in green energy transition technologies in recent years, and very effectively gained control of raw material supply chains so any other country has to go through them to get things done.
There is one notable exception though. Sodium. It’s so ubiquitous that even China can’t monopolise it as a commodity. And that means European and US battery makers have spotted a chink in the Great Dragon’s armour! Source: Just Have a Think

A retired artist and a civil engineer find their creative passion…
By adopting a forest and inserting some imagination, they have created a destination that they share with others…bwhich brings joy and inspires visitors to this whimsical place.
The project…
The Singhampton Sculpture Forest has become a bit of a pilgrimage for city people.
The acres of majestic trees provide a serene canopy for the winding trails and underbrush that surrounds some very unusual, and also very large, art installations.
There are about 30 big displays made from carved wood, bent wire, concrete, and found materials. Every one is original and unique and there is no indication from the roadside that anything as profoundly different is lurking behind the rather serene green bush.
A country road leads into this sparsely housed community in Grey Highlands County, where Mennonite farms and vast fields spread out along the 2 lane highways.
Artist Marion Bartlett and husband woodworker, Rick Bino moved here 7 1/2 years ago from the GTA and immediately loved the mature woodlot with its humble wooden house.
They replaced the garage with one larger, and built a studio above it.
Then the fun began
Bartlett had spent her career in the arts creating commissioned works and selling pottery and sculptures making a name for herself.
Bino was a professional Civil Engineer who had found his calling in woodworking.
Even though they reside in the midst of a healthy forest of mostly maple trees, no tree is ever cut here.
“The trees are a community and have survived nicely without our interference, we respect them and place art installations only where they won’t impact root systems or saplings”… says Bartlett, as a chipmunk runs past her feet.
But the art installations are a community too.
There are whimsical beings, like a human sized frog, and a wire fairy high on a maple branch. A larger than life metal angel flies, wings outstretched, from an ancient craggy barked giant. A horse standing over 6 ft tall gazes out of his home of branches and shrubs, while a metal man walks through the underbrush carrying a metal suitcase…the “man with baggage” is a metaphor for how everyone has an emotional load to struggle with, and how much better the world would be if we helped shoulder the weight for each other.
Most installations have scripted signs that explain or suggest a meaning …some words appear on benches along the trails.
Images of the many figures and shapes have appeared around the world, attracting visitors from across the globe. The internet has certainly helped fuel an interest in this whimsical place.
Local families often drop in to inspire their children, while groups of friends come just to see what’s new in the studio …or proliferating along the forest trails.
Why do they do it… Bartlett and Bino both enjoy sharing this magical experience, as they watch the surprised looks and hear the delighted remarks of those who have traveled to their special place. They are not through creating either, as drawings and plans will lead to future projects, and art is never finished….
The display is open from May until late October every day from 10am.
They’re bankers, traders, investment funds executives. They forgot all about morality to make money. The entire world had to suffer the consequences of their actions. They impoverished countries, drove millions of workers into unemployment, and contributed to the rise in extremism. So who are they? And, after the 2008 crisis, were the real culprits condemned? Could there be another?
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Bring in your reusable water bottle and refill it at nine locations in Collingwood.
Water refill stations offer numerous benefits that enhance our convenience and support environmental sustainability. Here are a few reasons why we are fortunate to have them:
Environmental Impact: They help reduce the consumption of single-use plastic bottles, which in turn lowers plastic waste and environmental pollution.
Cost Savings: Refilling reusable bottles is generally much cheaper than constantly buying bottled water.
Health Benefits: Access to clean water stations encourages better hydration and reduces the likelihood of consuming sugary drinks or other unhealthy alternatives.
Convenience: They provide an easy and accessible way to stay hydrated, especially in public places like schools, parks, and offices.
Sustainability: Water refill stations promote sustainability by encouraging the use of reusable bottles, which decreases the overall carbon footprint associated with producing, transporting, and recycling plastic bottles.
Educational Aspect: They can serve as educational tools about the importance of conservation and sustainability.
By having water refill stations, we contribute positively to our health, finances, and the environment.

This video is an opinion and in no way should be construed as statements of fact. Scams, bad business opportunities, and fake gurus are subjective terms that mean different things to different people. I think someone who promises $100K/month for an upfront fee of $2K is a scam. Others would call it the “opportunity of a lifetime.”
