For the next year, this is what Alexandra Mussar will call home: a cramped bedroom with water damage and dysfunctional sinks, in a house shared with six other students. For this, she's paying $840 every month. This isn't how she pictured her university housing experience, but after six long months hunting for somewhere to live, she says she felt she had to settle. "There were no other options. This was my last resort," she said. "It was either that or I was couch surfing for the next year." Across the country, students are sharing similar stories. The soaring rents that have hit some of Canada's biggest cities have also walloped college and university towns, with little relief in sight. Take Guelph, Ont., where the latest data shows the average cost for a one bedroom apartment has spiked to $2,095 per month in June, up 27 per cent from the same time last year. [...]

In order to catch the morning lineup before the activity of the weekday begins, it was imperative to take advantage of the early summer sunrise. In this case, I was on the scene by 0515 after getting on the road around 0400 on my day off; and seeing these GO APCUs all in a row like they expected me was certainly worth the effort. We have GO 904 (x-ONR 1513)which was sold to Tri-Rail of Miami in 1991; then 910 and 911, formerly MILW 93A and 104A respectively, then 906 and 907, (both x-ONR) which along with the 910 and 911 were retired and scrapped in 1995. This GO facility has since been relocated in Milton. Guelph Junction, ON July 26, 1990

The idea of privilege is significant yet often overlooked in the fields of environmental research and nature interpretation. To define privilege, I would suggest it is a complicated combination of unfair advantages that people may accumulate during their lives. It covers a wide range of social benefits, frequently categorized by country, race, gender, socioeconomic background, and level of education.The understanding of nature is not exempt from the effects of privilege. It has a big impact on the stories we tell about the natural world and who gets to have a say in them. There is an uneven distribution of access to natural areas. Many people are unable to take advantage of the peace and educational possibilities that nature offers due to geographical and economic constraints. For example, those who live in urban or low-income neighborhoods have a difficult time getting to green spaces since they are frequently few or ones too distant from their homes. The feeling of safety and belonging in nature extends well beyond easy access. Another factor such as a person's degree of education frequently determines how deeply they connect with their surroundings. Higher education, especially in environmental science-related fields, gives people the skills necessary to analyze ecological phenomena, comprehend conservation issues, and participate in academic discussions. This is a privilege that can improve one's advocacy for and appreciation of nature, but it is not available to everyone.
When I consider my personal experiences, I see how my privileges influence how I engage with the natural world. Since I am physically able to, I can walk through harsh terrain that would be impassable for someone with a physical disability. Given my training in environmental science, I would also be able to understand the complexities of ecosystems, which makes spending time in nature both a spiritual and intellectual experience. Being fluent in English gives me the opportunities to express my opinions and access a wide range of scientific material, which deepens my comprehension and makes it possible for me to take part in international discussions regarding conservation. The goal of acknowledging these benefits is to raise awareness of the discrepancies that exist. Those of us who work in the field of nature interpretation have a responsibility to utilize our privilege to promote diversity and close inequalities in society. This means appreciating the ecological wisdom of all cultures, establishing venues where a range of views are acknowledged and heard, and providing fair access to natural regions. Adopting this kind of inclusion enhances environmental research as a whole and makes it possible for a larger community to enjoy and share nature's advantages and beauty. 
To summarise, while we investigate the natural world and our position within it, we must constantly reflect. By doing this, we may work to lower the obstacles that stand in the way of people enjoying nature's beauty and make sure that our perceptions of the surrounding landscape are as varied and complex as the ecosystems we study. This understanding is the first step towards an interpretation of nature that is more just and equal and that honours all viewpoints and experiences.

"Fugitives Go Shopping In Village Dodge Police In 'Pea Soup' Mist," Toronto Star. October 28, 1943. Page 33. --- Special to The Star Guelph, Oct. 28 - Rifle shots rang out in Morriston village last night. Four escaped inmates of the Guelph Reformatory were playing a game of hide and seek with provincial police and guards in a "pea soup" mist. Dense bushland and large swamp areas hindered the posse.
Residents of Morriston last night reported that the men were walking up and down the main street talking with children and making chases in one of the village stores. At high speed, police headed into the village from all directions; systematically combed every house and backyard in the rain and mist.
The inmates had tried to steal a car but couldn't get it started.
Provincial Constable Philip Seibert, of Guelph, heard running footsteps in the mist. He fired in the direction of the sounds and gave chase, but in vain.
The swamp area was quickly surrounded and police stood guard all night, intending to make a concentrated search in daylight.
The escaped prisoners are Norman Pringle, 20, Oshawa; George Whitefoot, 17; and Lyle Banks, 18, Sarnia; and Lawrence Johnson, 19, Windsor. Two are in army uniform, stolen from the prison laundry.

"The Mayor of Guelph is proposing a new tax to help address the societal issues in the city.
In a video posting on YouTube, Cam Guthrie brings up the idea of a 1 or 2 per cent levy that would go towards mental health, addictions, and homelessness initiatives.
He calls it the Provincial Impacts Local Levy, or PILL.
“It’s a levy that actually shows what is costing everybody (for) provincial inaction on things that (it) should be helping us with,” said Guthrie.
Guthrie says the levy would generate $4.2 Million, or $63 a year for an average home.
“Right off the top, we have the $750,000 for the hospital,” Guthrie said. “Underneath that, we have Bill 23, $2 Million. Underneath that, Bill 109, $275,000. What would be left over? Just over $1.1 Million, that could go towards homelessness, addictions, and the mental health issues the community is facing.”"

Describe your ideal role of environmental interpreter. What might it entail? Where might it be? What skills might you need?
My ideal role as an environmental interpreter would include working with children preferably, after all they are the future! I imagine working with small groups teaching about the importance of nature and how it plays a role in our lives whether we realize it or not. I would specifically love to teach about turtles as so many kids are afraid of snapping turtles and being able to turn that fear into respect would be great. Turtle conservation also happen to be a passion of mine.
With so many kids nowadays being more attached to their screens than anything, it's so important to give them the opportunity to explore nature and encourage questions. Whether their questions are about animal poop (a classic kid question) or what plants are safe to eat in the forest it's important to encourage these curiosities so they continue to grow.
I have always loved kids and am comfortable interacting with them but its not an easy task. A challenge with this job would be holding their attention and keeping them interested. That where knowledge from this class would come in handy like knowing different learning styles and how to adjust your method of communication based on your audience.
Being able to do something like this where I live would be ideal as it has many opportunities for learning in nature with minimal risk for the kids and nature with an abundance of turtles!
With a mom as a kindergarten teacher I can imagine some of the problems I would run into working with small children, however being able to share my knowledge (however limited) with kids is always a fun experience and is something I feel is so important.

nice to meet you
Hi, I’m Jenny and welcome to my blog. In this post, I want to share with you some of the highlights and challenges of my life so far, and how I’m trying to find my purpose and happiness in this world.
I’m almost 34 years old and still struggling to figure out my life. Aren't we all? I’ve gone to school for a diploma program in Medical Laboratory Technician/Phlebotomy, a diploma program for Accounting Technician, and started my Human Resource Management diploma program too. I’ve always wanted to be an RN but, life and my body had other plans for me. I’ve always been interested in learning new things and pursuing different careers, and I've finally found one which fulfills me. I have a really good job now, but I’m not really supposed to talk about what I do so I’m going to leave that part out, but it’s finally something I’m good at and something I enjoy doing. It pays well and gives me flexibility and stability. It also challenges me and allows me to use my skills and creativity.
I have a husband who I’ve been with for 10 years now. Jason has helped me grow into a much better person and loves me unconditionally. He supports me in everything I do and encourages me to follow my dreams. I have 2 stepsons who have given me a run for my money but I still love them both at the end of the day. They are growing up so fast and I’m proud of the young men they are becoming. After an incredibly challenging fertility journey, I have my almost 5 year old daughter who is bright, caring, funny, and wise beyond her years. She is the light of my life and the reason I smile every day. I always tell her she saved my life, and it's true, but I won't tell her how until she's much older.
I have a passion for traveling and exploring new places. We try to do a big family vacation once a year and just this year decided that one trip a year should be spent nurturing our relationship. I love animals and have two dogs and three cats who keep me company and make me laugh. I’m on a journey to self love after spending my entire life as an overweight underdog. I’ve struggled with my body image and self-esteem for as long as I can remember, but I’m learning to accept myself and love myself for who I am. I have a daughter now, and I owe it to her to be kind to myself as the way I behave in front of her will be a reflection of how she treats her own body.
I live with many invisible illnesses both mentally and physically but try my best to get through every day. Some of the conditions I deal with are anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, ADHD, insulin resistent PCOS, Chronic Kidney Disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, migraines, and more. Yeah, I know, it fucking sucks. But, I'm definitely not here to gain pity for my health problems. By looking at me, you'd think the only problem I'd had in my life was enjoying one too many cheeseburgers. Some days are better than others, but some days are really hard. I try to be positive and optimistic, but sometimes I feel hopeless and overwhelmed. I’m grateful for the support of my family, friends, doctors, therapists, and online communities who help me cope and understand that I’m not alone.
I grew up in Guelph, Ontario and ventured back to Sudbury, Ontario after leaving my now ex-husband which was the best decision I’ve ever made. He was an interesting choice to say the least, and for the longest time I felt so trapped. It took me a long time to gather the courage to leave him, but when I did, I felt free and empowered. It was a turning point in my life that led me to meet my current husband and start a new chapter.
I’m thankful for this beautiful life I live. It’s not perfect, but it’s mine. And it’s full of love, laughter, learning, adventure, growth, gratitude, and hope. Thank you for reading this post even though you're probably rolling your eyes at yet another new overnight brainchild. But I'm going to try to use this as an outlet to heal and grow from the shit life throws my way, and hopefully inspire others to do the same along the way.
