Ways Canadians Honour Veterans on Remembrance Day and Everyday

New To Canada?  Please Respect Our Veterans!

Honouring Canadian veterans is a meaningful way to show appreciation for their service and sacrifices. This post has are some ways you can participate - not jus on Remembrance Day, but throughout the year.

Note: Earlier this month there was a ground swell of people excitedly wanting to use the Poppy - Canada's symbol to remember the great sacrifices made by our Veterans in the war to draw attention to a cause of their own. Not only is this disrespectful, but it is illegal. The Poppy Campaign that the Royal Canadian Legion uses each year to raise funds for special projects aimed at helping veterans is copyright and is not to be changed or altered.

Free Online Seminar Presents Ways to Try To Prevent Suicide

Suicide - How Can You Be a Lifesaver?

Why some people commit suicide is a puzzle that troubles people all over the world. There are probably as many ideas about why a person commits suicide as there are ways people choose to end their lives. Wouldn't you like to be prepared to help someone stay alive and not commit suicide?

Today, I came across a free online QPR Suicide Prevention webinar posted on Facebook aimed at helping people have productive and hopefully life-saving conversations with others. Then, this evening, I was led to see these Kids Help Phone statistics:

Kids Help Phone Call Stats infogram shows
Kids Help Phone Call Statistics


Did you know that Kids Help Phone reports that they are getting more and more texts from young people who are on the brink of suicide?
Some of these statistics are truly startling:
Compared to last year, they're receiving more texts about:
  •  Anxiety and Stress (31% increase) 
  • Suicide (19% increase) 
  • Isolation (14% increase)

Based on the young people who filled out their texter survey in 2023:
  •  49% wouldn't have done anything else to get support 
  •  9% would have gone to the emergency room 
  • 75% shared something with Kids Help Phone they’ve never told anyone else 
However, on the up side-85% say they feel less upset and more hopeful after interacting with them.

What if you could be  that somebody with the right training to help someone with suicidal ideation decide to stay alive for just one more day? 
This one hour free online QPR Suicide Prevention Program , just might be the best way you have ever spent an hour of your life

Canadian Seniors Get Free Cash Helping Friends Get Free Cash! Could You?

Canadian Seniors Help Their Friends Get Free Cash and Supplement Their Income By Helping Others - Could You Do This Too?

Many Canadian Seniors need to supplement their income but often do not have a lot of strength or energy anymore. Therefore, we need to switch gears and find things that will help us supplement our income in ways that are less physically tasking than mowing lawns, shoveling snow, and other things we might have been able to do in our younger days. Thankfully, many companies are very happy to pay people for referrals.  This post has a growing list of businesses and services that will pay you for referring customers to them and also give a bonus to your friends when they sign up for their services!

According to an article I just read, it can cost $300 to run an air-conditioner through the summer months, but only $6 to run an electric fan. Apparently, last year many Canadians ditched their air conditioners in favour of using cheaper ways to stay cool and only 5% of Europeans have an air conditioner.
