THE BIRTH OF Siddhārtha Gautama 6th Century BC: The old nurse looked at her radiant Queen, Maya Devi. She still had the same sweet smile on her face, and nothing seemed to have changed since the day she was born, the day the old nurse picked her up as an infant. Pregnancy only made her […]

A Global Day of Giving! #GivingTuesday

Elizabeth Atalay — Tue, 28 Nov 2017 16:30:00 +0000

Giving Tuesday was created to transform how people think about, talk about and participate in the giving season. It has become an international movement around the holidays dedicated to giving, in the same way that Black Friday and Cyber Monday are now synonymous with holiday shopping. After the frenzied commercialism of Black Friday sales (that now […]

When I first came to Canada just over seventeen years ago, I was struck by the fact that every murder in Toronto made front page news. Every single one. When I heard that 2000, the year of my arrival, had seen 81 homicides in the Greater Toronto Area, I was slightly stunned. 81 homicides in […]

CANADA: 9/11 – Where Do I Begin?

Kirsten Doyle (Canada) — Fri, 21 Apr 2017 05:00:29 +0000

Where do I begin to describe the horror that I shared with the world on September 11, 2001? It was a horror so big that at first, I refused to believe it. Planes deliberately flying into buildings? A terrorist attack against the United States? It had to be a hoax. Where do I begin to […]

2017. My, how time flies! In 2010 in the office of an amazing human being, I read a sign that said: ‘Time flies like arrows; fruit flies like bananas’. I didn’t get it when I read it, but when I did it stuck with me. I was reminded of this when thinking over my interview […]
