I stopped by the Kenora Justice Centre today to see what Restoratice Justice looks like. Check out the video of the “court room” around which sits the accused, the victim, elders, family, judge and support workers.

One year in and reoffence rates are way down.

4/5 posts of things to be excited about. Today - trees!

Huge shift coming - Feds/Winnipeg ramping up.

This Tree Trust in Elora sells certified offsets.

Also, what’s cheapest way to prevent storm-induced overloaded sewage systems from dumping into our waterways? Trees!

Day 3/5 of posts highlighting things to be hopeful about. Today - heat pumps!

MB NDP to make heat pumps mainstream in Manitoba and may end up being one of their most important accomplishments.

Daily hit 1/5 of things to be hopeful about.

Solar doubling every two years. Disruptive technologies do this (think iPhones, ride hailing etc..). Hard to notice in early years but trends unstoppable if governments remove market barriers.

A Winnipeg moment - the amazing Noah Derksen playing at a packed Goodwill Club with Mr William Prince in the fray (can you tell which head is his?). Sadly, one of the last shows at the Goodwill.

This cemetery south of Portage la Prairie is all that remains of a Dakota village. They pooled their limited resources to buy this property adding roads, gardens, wells only to be removed in 1920 without compensation.

Aki Energy begins work in nearby Dakota Plains FN soon.

I made it to my first Teacher PD day. Thanks Dakota Collegiate for the invite. If families are doing well, students will do well.
