Cape Breton University is partnering with a Glace Bay organization on a program to pair students looking for a safe and affordable place to live with seniors who have room to spare. 
The hope is that the program can benefit both students and seniors alike, says Patti McDonald, the executive director of Town House, a Glace Bay organization that aims to help marginalized people in the community. 
Many seniors, she said, live alone in large homes that can be difficult to heat and maintain. Students, meanwhile, can often struggle finding affordable housing near school. 
McDonald said the idea is that students and seniors will apply to be part of the program. Once matched, the student will pay an estimated $750 a month for the accommodations, but also be expected to help out around the house. [...]

Tomorrow, the Palestinian Youth Movement issued a call to action to all supporters of Palestine in Canada to support the protestors who are going to be protesting in D.C. at the White House tomorrow. Here is the list of all the protests that have been confirmed for tomorrow. Remember to wear a mask or cover the lower half of your face with a kuffiyeh, to avoid detection by harassment and doxxing campaign orgs. Stay safe and spread the message.

As you may know, Canada is suffering from some of the worst willdfires we've ever seen. Where we live, the sun and moon are coloured red, and the skies are a grey brown with smoke.
Tomorrow the worst will hit us, and we are instructed to not go outside due to terrible air quality.
What can we do?
Last year @psychopompstories and I created an 18 page graphic novel based on their original psychopomp (guides of the dead) short story called By Fire.
By Fire now available for digital download, with all proceeds going towards Canada's East Coast wildfire relief fund, headed by the Red Cross.

please read!
my home province, nova scotia, is currently suffering from uncontrollable wildfires. more than 200 homes have been destroyed, over 16 000 residents have been forced to evacuate, and the fires keep spreading. just now, we've gotten the alert that they're in bedford, which is pretty much right next to halifax city proper.
nova scotia is a very small and relatively poorer province in comparison to ontario, british columbia, quebec--so we have fewer resources, and all of them are stretched thin trying to diminish these wildfires. the federal gov is ostensibly prepared to help and send more resources, but the damage has already been done to the small and mostly aging communities that reside here. unless a miracle happens, that damage will likely get more extensive.
i know and understand that times are financially very hard right now for everybody, and it can be difficult to care about a place you've never heard of. as of writing this, only red cross is providing substantial financial relief for displaced people; the only "reputable" charity set up for recovery efforts is by united way. the newness of the situation makes it hard to determine who needs and can get what! so a lot of individuals have taken to sites like gofundme.
the coast, one of our local newspapers, has put together an ongoing list of resources to see for people who have been affected, and how others can help. (granted, a lot of it will likely be meaningless to you if you don't live here.) that said:
if you can help spread the word and keep nova scotia in your hearts, that would be greatly, greatly appreciated. i'll be updating this post when more information comes to light on how people can help our communities recover!
