notice HDI reps stop clean-up
The city paused work on the clean-up to address the HDI’s concerns. The HDI acts as the administrative arm of the Haudenos aunee Confederacy Chiefs Council.Detlor had told the city it failed its duty to consult the HCCC on the clean-up. According to the CBC, HDI monitors are paid $150 an hour, Detlor said, adding that two workers would need to be on site for about six hours a day for the duration of the clean-up.
In a notice published to its website last week, the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation said it does not sanction any businesses selling cannabis on the reserve.“Anyfacility or store fronts currently in business are doing so without the consent of the First Nation Council and is an illegal operation.”Therewas no mention of any specific business involved in selling cannabis on the territory and MCFN did not return calls for comment.However, a source told the Two Row Times it was in response to a dispen sary openly advertising on Townline Road on the border of the reserve coming out of Hagersville eastbound.“Thecouncil has been working diligently to develop a law that respects the collective rights of the Nation and provides sound operational and safety requirements. Until this im portant work is complete, the appropriate enforce ment agencies will contin ue to be provided with the authority to shut down any illegal operations.”
A lawyer for the Haude nosaunee Development Institute says the City of Hamilton needs to pay up before the Chedoke Creek clean-up continues. Aaron Detlor, accompa nied by Six Nations com munity member Trevor Bomberry, visited the site of the polluted creek on Aug. 24 after expressing concerns there were no monitors from Six Nations overseeing the clean-up. He has since said the city needs to pay Six Na tions environmental mon itors to oversee the work before dredging resumes. The city is spending $6 million to clean up the waterway after a four-year, 24-billion litre sewage spill polluted the creek. News of the spill was kept secret until The Ham ilton Spectator revealed the extent of the damage into the creek and nearby Cootes Paradise.

4. Protect good quality sleep for children and fami ly membersSleepisfundamental to mental health and well-be ing. Nearly half of parents reported their child's sleep worsened during the COVID-19 pandemic in part due to reduced physical ac tivity, increased screen time and heightened anxiety.
Guidelines recommend that children get eight to 11 hours of sleep per night, and adults get at least sev en hours. It can be helpful to work back from the time your child needs to wake up and work towards an appropriate bedtime. This can often mean starting a bedtime routine and getting ready for bed before we think we need to.
Having a good sleep hygiene regime can help anyone who has trouble getting to sleep. This can include avoiding caffeine late in the day, avoiding screens an hour before bed and having the same routine every night (for example, shower, pajamas, brush teeth, read a story or book,Forbed).families seeking more information, Chil dren's Mental Health Ontario has put together a Back to School Mental Health Backpack to help children and families with the challenges of returning to school.

Our research has shown that children, teens and parents have struggled with regards to mental health during the pandem ic, where higher levels of pandemic-related stress corresponded to more mental health difficulties in families.Although there are many aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic that are not in our control, it is important to focus on the things that are. Research shows that negative mental health out comes in the face of stress are not inevitable based on external factors alone.

1. Social and emotional connectionsHumansare social be ings and over the last two years we have experienced limitations and restrictions on our ability to maintain and develop social connec tions.Research during the pandemic showed that youth who felt socially connected were protect ed against poor mental health. Therefore, creating opportunities for children and youth to feel connected within their families and with their peers are critical for promoting well-being. For children and teens, family social and emotional connections are equally, if not more important as friendships in helping chil dren protect their mental health. During the pandem ic, teens who felt stress at home had more mental health problems. At home, fostering social connection and under standing can be achieved through spending time together engaging in mu tually enjoyable activities. Ensuring that there is time to listen to your child talk about their day, process events and emotions from school, and engage in sup portive problem solving is critical.When listening to your child or teen talk about their day, it is important to listen and understand first before engaging in any problem solving. Often chil dren can feel better after discussing their emotions without needing to prob lemNaturalsolve.
The last two years have been far from normal for children and families. As households prepare for back-to-school, there can be some apprehension of what the year will bring.
3. Schedule time for physical activity each day Physical activity is an important determinant of mental health and well-be ing for both children and adults. During the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a 20 per cent de crease in children's physical activity levels, particularly among individuals living in countries with colder climates.Werecommend starting with a small goal to start, such as going for a walk after dinner. Being success ful in a small goal helps to increase motivation going forward. Making changes to how you travel to school or extra-curricular activities (for example, walking or riding a bike) can also be an easy way to increase activity.Asthe weather gets colder, consider changing to indoor swim and rec reational activities. Yearround outdoor activities also provide an opportuni ty for safe physical activity and social engagement despite evolving risks with the COVID-19 pandemic.

2. Coaching to cope with big and small worries Worrying can be a natural response to uncer tainty, which has become more prevalent during the COVID-19 pandemic. One habit that can help mitigate children's worries from de veloping further is teaching them to cope with big and small worries as they come. Talking about, labelling and validating worries is an important first step. Next, help them think through how they might respond if their worry came true, how likely their worry is to occur, and evidence that disproves their worry. Modelling how you identify, address and cope with your own worries can serve as an important example for your child. In fact, our research demon strates that coping ability predicted better mental health for parents through out the pandemic, as well. There are many resources and free apps available for helping your child to cope with worries and anxiety.

between the amount of cyberbullying reported by straight versus sexual minority youth residing in a relatively progressive part of the U.S. known for legalizing gay marriage. Some social media plat forms like Tumblr are considered a safer haven for sexual minorities than others, especially during the COVID-19 lockdown. This is despite past censor ship of LGBTQ content on certain platforms due to biases in the algorithm. LGBTQ youth tend to have smaller online social networks than their straight peers. We found that LGBTQ youth were significantly less likely than their straight peers to engage with their online friends. Conversely, LGBTQ youth are more likely to have friends they know only online, and to per ceive these online friends as significantly more so cially supportive than their in-person friends. The LGBTQ youth we surveyed in our study were more likely to join an online group in order to reduce social isolation or feelings of loneliness, suggesting that they were able to reach out to and engage with social media networks outside of their in-person peer circles in supportive and fortifying ways.Despite living in an area with higher levels of acceptance toward sex ual minorities, our study participants felt a need to keep parts of their identi ties separate and hidden online.

Left to my own devices…you wouldn’t have wanted to know me back then.”Hill said she was ‘scary’ when she was drinking. “I’m so grateful that I found a way to recover from alcoholism.”Bothhermother and father are residential school survivors.“Itwas a pretty rough home life. I always said that I wasn’t going to be that. I wasn’t going to be that drinker, I wasn’t going to be that person who used any of those mind changers but when you’re not healed, when you have a lot of trau ma in your life, you try to deal with it in the best way that you can. For me, that’s what I did. I ran from my feelings and I drank.” In 1986, at age 26, she said she knew she had a problem with drinking. “I wanted to quit.” She would tell herself ev ery night coming from work she’s not going to drink. But it never stuck. She was in the midst of a divorce, the mother of a young son, and a victim of domestic“Addictionviolence.isavery pro gressive disease.” In August of 1986 she had opened up the local paper and saw an ad asking if people thought they had an alcohol problem. “I took this test in this paper and I thought, boy, do I ever,” said Hill. “I said yes to everything. So I called the number and I went to the meeting at the air base in Niagara Falls." There, she met people who were celebrating years of recovery.Shewanted that same happiness.“Isawthe twinkle in their eye and I saw how healthy they looked and I saw that glow and I thought, ‘that’s what I want. That’s what I need. I need that sobriety. I need that soberness. I need that well ness.’ I just kept going to meetings because, left to my own devices, I’d be drunk.” Hill wants people to know that recovery is possible.“Oneday at a timetoday is all I have. Today is the only day I can effect any change. Yesterday’s gone. It’s a cashed cheque, I can’t change it. Tomorrow isn’t here yet, it’s like a promis sory note.

Haudenosaunee cuisine and culture is about to be thrust into the national spotlight, when viewers across the country tune in to this season’s edition of Top Chef Canada later this month, thanks to Six Na tions chef Tawnya Brant. The renowned chef is vying for the top spot in the country’s most gruelling culinary compe tition and Haudenosaunee food culture will be on the menu.Her upcoming presence on the show is already creating a buzz on social media.“Idon’t think there was a time I didn’t ever really cook,” said Brant, 39. “I can remember being five and making grilled cheese sandwiches - things I would never let my fiveyear-old do now,” she joked.Brant has worked in the food industry since she was 12. “I liked it, I really did.

But it gets frustrating, she says, because they often ask the busy chef to speak for free. “It’s unfortunate. I’ve invested in myself for de cades to learn the things I learned. It’s a little hurtful. I’m going to start sending my fee now. You wanna learn how to cook our food? Go to a longhouse. Everything we learn is from work.

It can make for dramat ic television and a fren zied cooking experience but Brant handled it all in stride.“I’m known for keeping a calm, cool, collected kitchen and I think you’ll see that on the show.” She pushes the palate envelope on the show, introducing the judges to flavours they’ve never experienced before. “I wanted people who are Indigenous to see somebody who looked like them talking about their food. That’s what I wanted to see on the show. I wanted Canadians to see that same thing - that Indigenous people are here and do have a whole culture they don’t know about and introduce them to a new way of looking at food…and understand that relationship Indige nous people have to their food. There’s been nothing on mainstream television yet introducing Canadians to Indigenous foods.” Be sure to catch Brant on this season’s Top Chef Canada on Sept. 26 on the Food Network Canada.

And Canada played its best game of the tourna ment in Sunday's 2-1 win over arch-rival U.S. in the final. The Canadian women won their third major international title in the span of a year after beating the U.S. 3-2 for Olympic gold in February in Beijing, and 3-2 in over time in the 2021 world championship final just over a year ago. Canada lost 5-2 in the preliminary round to a U.S. team that was ready to reclaim supremacy. Both Canada and the U.S. returned 18 play ers from their Olympic rosters. The Americans seemed to absorb what lineup changes there were quicker than the Canadi ans, who were juggling forward line combinations throughout the tourna ment in an effort to find chemistry.Canada's execution in an 8-1 semifinal win over the Swiss indicated the defending champions were finding their form. But the U.S. went unde feated into the final with a plus-47 goal differential compared to Canada's plus-22, whereas Canada had boasted high offensive power in Beijing. In addition to moving the puck quicker and cleaner than it did in the loss to the U.S., Canada also defended more tena ciously in the box between and below the face-off dots.U.S. forward Abby Roque, a member of the Wahnapitae First Nation, scored her team-leading fourth power-play goal of the tournament with less than a minute to play in the second period, was mentioned as calling out the Canadians for diving.

This was our first time in Was kaganish and it was just amazing. From the youth at the hockey school, to the brand new pool, to the community tour, to the sunset boat ride, we thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Cannot wait to come back again soon,” reads the post. The ‘3 Nolans’ hockey schools first began in 2013, and the trio now travel Canada teaching hockey skills, but most importantly, work ethic. Jordan Nolan has three Stanley Cup Rings from his time with the LA Kings and St. Louis Blues. He remains convinced that these camps focus more on skills that will help kids if hockey doesn't pan out.
