This bridge in Ontario is a marvel of modern creativity and ancient techniques
Published: May 1, 2025
Outlet: Village Life
If ever you’re in Perth, ON, it’s hard to miss the Tay River. This picturesque waterway twists and turns its way through the community’s historic downtown.
Nestled within a section of the river known as the old swimming hole––where the Tay River meets the Little Tay––lies a curious stone bridge, which upon closer inspection, is held up by nothing more than the weight of its own stones...
Faith in Action: Tackling the climate crisis in the Season of Creation
Published: October/November 2024
Outlet: Canada Lutheran
With the Season of Creation upon us, our communities in worship across the world are called
together to pray and to care for our common home. That leaves many in ELCIC congregations,

Published: October 5, 2024
Outlet: The Charlatan
As students, many of us feel like home ownership is little more than a pipe dream.
We can’t begin to look at supply until we look at the barriers that make homes currently on the market inaccessible for most first-time buyers, and what prevents young Canadians from entering the housing market. That comes down to debt, wealthy investors and a flawed bidding process. Our solutions to housing affordability in Canada need to take a buyer-focused turn...
Making ends ‘meat:’ How an Ottawa deli is managing rising costs
Published: February 9, 2025
Outlet: Capital Current
For Paolo Di Rienzo, slinging hearty sandwiches and homemade cannolis has been the name of the game for decades now. Di Rienzo’s Deli and Grocery, on the corner of Beech Street and Champagne Avenue in Little Italy, has been a staple for many since 1973.
Despite being a fixture of the authentic eats in Ottawa for more than 50 years now, Di Rienzo’s, like many other shops in Ottawa, is facing a simple dilemma: the meat (and pretty much everything else), is a lot more expensive...

Published: July 18, 2025
Outlet: The Mid North Monitor
Nestled near Sudbury’s doorstep, smack dab in the LaCloche Foothills of the North Shore lies Espanola. Our vibrant community, home to just more than 5,000 residents, is home to more than meets the eye. From having world-class recreation, vibrant local businesses and serving as an outdoorsman’s paradise, it’s no wonder the “Gateway to Manitoulin Island” is a must-stop for the many tourists that flock through northeastern Ontario...
