Frankie Malloy is on a SPECIAL CHRISTMAS MISSION to find “Patrick, Stella and Chicken a Forever Family”.

Pawsome furiends!  Share far and wide to find our furry friends a new home – Love, Frankie Malloy

Meet Patrick

Patrick is a 2 months old male Medium Mixed Breed who weighs 5 kilograms.

Hey there! I’m Patrick, and I’m 2.5 months old and already a master of being cute and slightly chaotic. I love exploring, playing, and trying to figure out what everything in your house tastes like (it’s called science).

I’m sweet, goofy, and full of charm – the kind of pup who’ll make you laugh even when I’m accidentally tripping over my own ears. I’ll need training, structure, and someone who appreciates my comedic talents, but I promise to grow into the best boy ever with your help.

If you want a fun, lovable little sidekick, I’m your guy!

My adoption fee is $550 and includes my spay/neuter, up to date vaccinations, dewormer and a microchip. If you want to learn more about me, please come visit the GTHS and speak with one of the amazing Adoption Counsellors! The GTHS is open for adoptions from 12pm-4:00pm, every single day of the week and they would be thrilled to introduce you to me! I can’t wait to meet you and am looking forward to starting my new life with my new family!

Meet Stella

Stella is a 2 months old female Medium Mixed Breed who weighs 5 kilograms.

Hi!

I’m Stella, and I’m 2.5 months old, which basically means I’m a tiny baby genius… mostly in the subjects of cuddling, staring lovingly at humans, and following you everywhere like it’s my full-time job. I’m ready to go home and be your little shadow, your nap buddy, and the reason you suddenly take a million pictures a week. I’ll need training, patience, and lots of love – I’m still learning how to dog! – but I promise to make it worth it with snuggles, loyalty, and adorable head tilts.

If you’re looking for a fluffy best friend who thinks you’re the center of the universe, I’m your girl!

Meet Chicken

Chicken is a 5 months old female Domestic Shorthair/Mix cat who weighs 2 kilograms.

Hi there!

I’m Chicken – yes, like the bird, but I promise I’m 100% cat and 100% adorable. I’m a 5-month-old bundle of energy, curiosity, and purrs, and I’m on the hunt for my forever family! I love to play, explore every nook and cranny, and then flop down right next to my kitty pals for a good hangout session. Wand toys? Springs? Oh yes, those are my absolute joys in life. If it bounces, wiggles, or zooms across the floor, I’m there.

I’m great with other cats (after proper introductions, of course!) and I’m really hoping my future home comes with a feline friend. I haven’t met any dogs yet, so that’s still a mystery to me. Kids? Sure! I enjoy their company as long as they know a little bit about reading kitty vibes – I promise to teach them the rest. If you’re looking for a fun, friendly, curious little sidekick with a silly name and a huge heart, I think we just might be the perfect match.

All I want for the holidays is a loving family! This December, GTHS is offering reduced adoption fees during our Home for the Holidays event. My reduced adoption fee is $100 and includes my spay/neuter, internal and external parasite treatments, up to date vaccinations and an ID microchip! If you want to learn more about me, please come visit the GTHS and speak with one of the amazing Adoption Counsellors! The GTHS is open for adoptions from 12pm-4:00pm, every single day of the week and they would be thrilled to introduce you to me! I can’t wait to meet you and am looking forward to starting my new life with my new family!

GOOD NEWS: ECA becomes land trust and secures first property to be Preserved Forever

GOOD NEWS: ECA becomes land trust and secures first property to be Preserved Forever

Collingwood, ON – This fall, the ECA expanded to become a land trust. With a local focus, and collaborating with existing land trusts such as the Bruce Trail Conservancy and Escarpment Biosphere Conservancy, they are aiming to inspire local land holders to take conservation action and protect ecological lands in perpetuity. As a land trust the ECA can protect land through ownership or conservation easement, and as an eligible recipient of Canada’s Ecological Gifts Program, qualified donors may be exempt from capital gains tax and may carry forward income tax credits for up to 10 years.

In July 2025, the ECA team explored a remarkable place: a 10 ha/24-acre property that they are temporarily calling Metcalfe North, which is now set to become the very first protected area for the ECA.

“We made the decision to expand with a land trust program very carefully based on numerous community conversations suggesting that a locally led and focused conservation land trust would result in more natural lands protected and connected. Our intention is to complement and expand on the great work that others have been doing for decades.”

  • Jarvis Strong, Executive Director

Their first land securement project, Metcalfe North, is a true gem. Nestled within the lands of Treaty 18 of 1818, the Treaty and Traditional territory of the Chippewa Tri-Council (Rama, Beausoleil Island and Georgina Island First Nations) as well as the traditional territories of the Saugeen Ojibway Nation. The Metcalfe North property sits adjacent to the Kolapore Uplands Resource Management Area and provides ecological connectivity with the nearby Duncan Escarpment Provincial Park. This property is a vital first step in the process of stitching together a protected corridor across South Georgian Bay.

Here, mature hardwood forests, exposed escarpment cliffs, and ancient caves weave together to offer habitat for several species at risk, including American Hart’s-tongue Fern and Eastern Wood Pee-wee. The dramatic cliff faces create prime nesting sites for Peregrine Falcon, and the cool caves likely shelter at-risk bat species. At the base of the escarpment, natural springs and seeps feed two small wetlands – quiet pockets of life supporting amphibians, turtles, insects, Broad-leaved Cattails, Sweet Joe-Pye Weed, and abundant willow thickets.

By securing this property, these geological and ecological treasures of the Niagara Escarpment in South Georgian Bay remain intact – for wildlife, for climate resilience, and for future generations. It also preserves public access to nature along a portion of the Bruce Trail that connects to Metcalfe Rock, a favourite nature attraction for many visitors and local residents alike.

This moment represents a major milestone for the ECA. After nearly four years of community engagement, advocacy and research – as well as 18 months of science-based corridor planning to identify the most important areas for biodiversity within their expansive 212,000-hectare Area of Influence – they are now advancing real, tangible conservation solutions for nature in South Georgian Bay. Metcalfe North sits at the heart of this vision, setting the foundation for a connected landscape that will grow with each new property the ECA secures.

More than 80% of the funds needed have already been raised. To close this property, and protect it forever, the ECA still needs to secure the remaining $250,000 by December 31st.

To help the ECA secure Metcalfe North, forever, you can make a donation here: LAND SECUREMENT FUND

As a new land trust, the ECA has ambitious goals—to connect and protect a nature corridor spanning across South Georgian Bay. Metcalfe North is the beginning of a butterfly effect that will create a legacy, for nature, for people, for good.

YETI Presents | The Polar Passage: Surviving the Deadly Northwest Passage Ice Trap

Extreme cold, harsh winds, and unpredictable weather patterns combine to create one of the harshest landscapes on Earth — the Northwest Passage.

A place where time seems to have stood still, compasses don’t work, and navigating ice blocks is a matter of life and death, accessing the Northwest Passage fulfills a dream for Mark Synnott of experiencing the world as early explorers might have. Mark knows his only chance of survival relies upon the ancestral wisdom of navigating the shifting ice, so he enlists the help of Inuit guide Jacob Keanik. As the crew sets sail, they find themselves in the situation they feared most — trapped amongst the ice.

Collingwood OPP Auxiliaries Toy and Food Drive

– Another huge success with help from our community and Reliabuild –

(COLLINGWOOD, ON) Members from the Auxiliary Unit of the Collingwood and The Blue Mountains Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) held their annual toy and food drive on Saturday and would like to thank all those that donated to their worthy cause.

In addition to the support from community members, the OPP Auxiliaries also received a huge donation today of new unwrapped toys from our community partner, Reliabuild, and together they transported the huge amount of food and toys to the Salvation Army in Collingwood.

Reliabuild trucks along with several OPP vehicles filled with toys departed from the OPP detachment and made their way to the local Salvation Army. With the additional help of volunteers and members of the Optimist Club of Collingwood and Southern Georgian Bay, an assembly line was formed to pass the large number of toys from the trucks to the donation bins inside. (See attached photos)

Donations made through the OPP Auxiliary Toy and Food Drive benefit the Salvation Army foodbank and help many families in our community have a festive and happy holiday season.
