The ALS Canada Revolution Ride is a volunteer-powered fundraising event that unites recreational, intermediate, and avid cyclists who want to challenge themselves to do more in support of those we have loved and lost or who are facing ALS today.

This premier cycling event takes place on Sunday, October 4, in Jordan, Ontario, in the beautiful Niagara wine region. The roads surrounding the area offer a landscape that takes riders along a route steeped in excitement and beauty, leaving participants with a sense of accomplishment and the reward of seeing their fundraising efforts go towards helping families affected by ALS. There are three scenic routes to choose from, including 25 km, 40 km and 90 km options. Choose the distance that suits your level!

Not only will the kilometres logged be worthwhile, but the start and finish lines are located in the heart of Ontario wine country at the stunning Sue-Ann Staff Estate Winery. The day promises to be a memorable one.

Local author Christine Hill Suntz joins us to chat about her new inspirational historical romance The Heiress and the Woodsman, a story of reluctant allies set in the wilderness of 1837 Canada.

With the lens of "Permaculture", we can re-imagine our need for food, water, shelter, and connection. In a world facing growing environmental and economic uncertainty, local solutions are becoming increasingly relevant. Growing food in our own backyards, neighbourhoods, and communities is more than a practical response. It is an opportunity to reconnect with the land, build resilience, strengthen local relationships, and cultivate a more sustainable future. The presentation will also highlight the importance of learning local native plants such as perennial vegetables, fruiting shrubs and trees.

Presenter Elya Justina has worked in various nature-based settings such as tree planting in Northern Ontario, seaweed harvesting in the Pacific, organic farms in Australia, and local garden centres and greenhouses. She studied Permaculture Design and Natural Building in Costa Rica while living in remote rainforest town.

Join Dr Brian Doucet as he goes coast to coast to learn about policies, programs and projects that are helping to ensure that housing is a human right. From using public land to build non-market housing in Kitchener and Whistler, and inspiring Indigenous-led projects in Vancouver, to strong tenant protections and rent control in British Columbia and Prince Edward Island, the examples featured in this film demonstrate how many important solutions are making a difference in communities big and small that are
hiding in plain sight.
