Why plant NATIVE Canadian Maple trees?

• The iconic maple-lined roads and laneways are disappearing from the rural landscape of southern Ontario

• Native Maples are a symbol of Canada, Canadian pride and identity

• Native Maples provide beautiful fall colour

• Native trees are naturally adapted to local climate and require less care

• Native trees support the needs of local wildlife, such as birds and insects

A Healing Moment

Though each of us experienced the pandemic differently, a sense of loss is one sentiment that seems to unite us, whether a loss of connection, financial stability, lifestyle or for some, loved ones. The pain of that time lingers and working through it is key to our health. To help, the Caledon Public Library is hosting a workshop – Post Traumatic Growth: Loss & Healing Through the Lens of the Pandemic – on April 20 at its Southfields Village Branch. Participants will have an opportunity to reflect on their losses as well as the growth and renewed sense of purpose that may have emerged.

MAnd the bands played on...

Local music fans have two reasons to celebrate. First, Orangeville’s father and sons rock band trio, The Discarded, released their animated musical film and soundtrack, The Getgoes, in September 2022 and it is available to enjoy anytime on YouTube. A colourful throwback to retro Saturday cartoons and The Beatles’ Yellow Submarine, the film tells the story of a fictional band’s rise to fame, and all the ups and downs along the way, with 13 original hightempo songs. The film is directed and written by the band’s frontman (and dad), J.P. Wasson, and is the band’s fourth project since its 2016 inception.
