🌟 It’s Kindness Week! 🌟

Did you know that the third week of February is officially Kindness Week in Sault Ste. Marie? 💛

This initiative—supported by the City and inspired by the national Kindness Week Act—celebrates the power of empathy, gratitude, and compassion to build stronger, healthier communities.

A local committee is planning amazing ways to spread kindness across the Soo:
🦉 Distributing “Odin the Owl Encourages Kindness in His Community” to local schools
🍫 Handing out “Be Kind” chocolate bars
🧡 Launching a “Kindness Passport” challenge for students
💬 Creating public “Kindness Walls” for uplifting messages
🎁 Even organizing surprise giveaways!

Let’s make kindness louder than ever. Whether it’s a smile, a helping hand, or a thoughtful word—you have the power to make someone’s day.

It was my honour to stand in for Robert 'Farmer Bob' Cuerrier this morning to discuss Bob's new book, 'A Bushwhacker's Requiem with CBC Morning North's Marcus Schwabe. A great, rollicking, finely crafted tale featuring Farmer Bob's natural storytelling gifts - and beautiful new photographs provided by the Sault's Bob McGauley and Fawn Jacko.

My less than dulcet interview tones may not drive many book sales - but Bob's life story is at once rollicking, captivating, heartfelt, and a testament to this grand Sault icon and his Mockingbird Hill Farm legacy.

Please visit www.tagonapress.com to preorder your 'Requiem' (or contact [email protected] - and honour a true Sault legend.
