From local hero to global advocate: How KidsPlay

transforming lives

KidsPlay Foundation stands as a vital lifeline for countless young people seeking brighter futures. Founded in 2015 by Kal Kiran Toor, the Foundation is dedicated to steering at-risk youth away from the destructive influences of drugs, gangs, Through a diverse range of opportunities encompassing sports and community activities, KidsPlay helps youth discover and develop crucial life skills, fostering a strong sense of belonging in communities across the globe.

The foundation’s journey began with Kal Dosanjh, whose experience as a patrol officer brought him face-to-face with the grim realities faced by many young individuals. A pivotal encounter with a young boy caught in the throes of drug abuse and neglect ignited Kal’s determination to create meaningful change. Inspired by the values of selfless service embedded in his Sikh heritage, Kal organized a small soccer tournament aimed at providing local youth with a positive outlet. This grassroots initiative laid the groundwork for what would eventually become KidsPlay Foundation, where Kal now serves as CEO. Kiran Toor, serving as President, shares this vision of community empowerment, working alongside Kal to expand the Foundation’s reach and impact.

KidsPlay Foundation operates under the guiding principle that it takes a village to raise a child. The organization prioritizes at-risk youth, focusing on removing financial barriers and providing culturally sensitive support to ensure their success. Their comprehensive initiatives include sports programs, mentorship, environmental initiatives, counseling, mental health services, and drug and gang education. Each of these efforts is designed to reduce youth crime and foster a sense of identity among participants. By empowering young people with leadership, teamwork, and self-governance skills under the guidance of caring adults, KidsPlay addresses the urgent need for belonging that many youth experience.

As more young people search for community and connection, many find these vital elements lacking at home or school. The Foundation recognizes that the rise in

substance abuse and gang involvement has contributed to the exploitation of youth, underscoring the critical need to nurture their desire for belonging. KidsPlay is driven by a commitment to ensuring that no child slips through the cracks—each child deserves the chance to thrive. The heartbreak of seeing youth who needed help but never received it serves as a powerful motivator for the Foundation, inspiring it to work even harder to prevent any child from losing their sense of self.

Over its nine years of service, KidsPlay has learned that a single opportunity to belong in a positive environment can transform a young life forever. Kids need love, encouragement, and chances to succeed—and when provided with these, they can flourish. The Foundation has witnessed this transformation repeatedly, reinforcing the belief that investing in these young lives will foster future changemakers who will contribute positively to society. The organization’s commitment to offering all its programs free of charge, made possible by the generosity of sponsors and supporters, has empowered youth to grow physically, mentally, and socially, helping them become contributing members of society.

In its expansion beyond its Vancouver roots, KidsPlay has reached new cities, including Calgary and Toronto. In Calgary, the Foundation began operating just before the onset of the COVID-19

pandemic, adapting its programs to continue providing essential support. This chapter emphasized community service, allowing youth to develop leadership skills while engaging in civic duties. By 2021, KidsPlay established its presence in Toronto, where it focused on the reciprocal benefits of volunteering, empowering young people to make meaningful contributions to their communities while enhancing their personal development.

KidsPlay’s mission also extends internationally, with initiatives in Punjab, India, and Cartagena, Colombia. In Punjab, the Foundation’s programs provide free after-school activities and mentorship, filling the gap left by a scarcity of positive role models. Meanwhile, the Cartagena chapter addresses global challenges such as poverty and environmental degradation through initiatives like tree planting and community clean-ups, reflecting a commitment to sustainable development and community improvement.

At the core of KidsPlay’s philosophy is the understanding that nurturing a sense of belonging is crucial for youth empowerment. The Foundation actively engages in advocacy, collaborating with community organizations, educational institutions, and government officials to highlight the ongoing needs of at-risk youth. However, the lack of sustained funding remains a significant obstacle to fully realizing its mission.

To continue its vital work, KidsPlay is seeking support to fund weekly programs and large-scale initiatives throughout the year. The requested funding will enable the Foundation to expand its reach and provide even more opportunities for youth, ensuring they can participate without the burden of financial constraints. The organization operates year-round, delivering programs in select schools

to engage the most disadvantaged kids, offering mentorship during and after school through sports and extracurricular activities.

In addition to school-based initiatives, KidsPlay hosts after-school and weekend programs, organizing largescale community events every 4-6 weeks. These gatherings provide youth with positive experiences and help reinforce their sense of belonging. School administrators have noted that, without KidsPlay’s programs, many of these children would face even greater disadvantages, emphasizing the Foundation’s critical role in their lives.

As KidsPlay Foundation continues to grow and evolve, it remains steadfast in its commitment to transforming lives, one game at a time. The ripple effect of hope and empowerment that the Foundation has generated demonstrates the transformative power of sports and community engagement, shaping a brighter future for youth worldwide. By investing in these young lives, we can build a stronger, safer future together—one where every child has the opportunity to succeed.

Surrey prepares for transition to new police service this November

An update from the RCMP and Surrey Police Service

Following the provincial announcement that the Surrey Police Service (SPS) will officially take over as the police of jurisdiction for the City of Surrey on November 29, 2024, the City, SPS, the RCMP, the Province of B.C., and Public Safety Canada have been collaborating closely to plan and implement this transition.

Starting November 29, 2024, SPS will assume all law enforcement responsibilities in Surrey. The B.C. RCMP will continue to operate in the area, providing transitional support to SPS until the handover

is complete. Both agencies will work together under a temporary arrangement during this period.

“Since fall 2021, we have been gradually introducing SPS officers and vehicles to the community, allowing residents and business owners to become familiar with us,” said Chief Constable Norm Lipinski of the Surrey Police Service. “The change in police jurisdiction on November 29 marks an important next step in our transition, and we are excited to serve as Surrey’s new police service.”

Under the new model, residents will see both SPS and RCMP officers and vehicles in Surrey until SPS is fully independent. This approach aims to ensure public safety, maintain clear communication with residents, and uphold the integrity of ongoing investigations. The methods for contacting police and accessing police stations will remain unchanged throughout this transition.

“The RCMP has proudly served Surrey since 1951, and we are

dedicated to ensuring a safe transition for both the public and our officers,” stated Assistant Commissioner John Brewer of the BC RCMP. “We will provide certainty for our members as we move to a support role, with defined responsibilities. Significant efforts are underway to facilitate this transition, and the RCMP remains committed to serving the citizens of Surrey.”

The transition will be complete when all policing duties in Surrey are handled exclusively by SPS officers. The timeline for this process depends on several factors, including the pace of SPS hiring, enhancements to infrastructure, and the transfer of files and evidence from the RCMP.

Currently, SPS has hired 409 officers, which is more than half of the planned 785 officers for the completed transition. All partners involved are committed to ensuring a smooth and safe transition of policing responsibilities from the RCMP to SPS on November 29. Further updates will be provided as more details become available.

SPECIAL

As October sweeps in across Canada, excitement and a hint of spookiness fill the air. Streets come alive with vibrant decorations, and the familiar scent of pumpkin spice wafts through neighborhoods. For newcomers, Halloween offers a captivating introduction to Canadian culture, blending festive fun with rich traditions. This celebration, featuring costumes, treats, and a strong sense of community, warmly invites everyone to join in the joy of the season.

Halloween in Canada

A guide to tricks, treats, and spooky fun!

As October rolls in, Canadian neighborhoods transform into vibrant displays of spooky decorations, carved pumpkins, and whimsical creatures.

Halloween, celebrated annually on October 31, invites everyone—from children to adults—to don creative costumes and partake in the beloved tradition of trick-ortreating. For newcomers to Canada, this festive occasion might resemble scenes from movies or cartoons, but let’s dive into some basics of this enchanting holiday.

Halloween Traditions in Canada

Modern Halloween in Canada features an array of frightful decorations, fun costumes, and the excitement of trick-or-treating.

Here’s what you can expect during this spirited celebration:

Decorating for Spookiness

As Halloween approaches, decorating homes and yards becomes a cherished tradition. While many stick to classic

themes—like carved pumpkins and spooky graveyard scenes— others go all out, showcasing elaborate displays that might start appearing weeks before the big night.

The Art of Pumpkin Carving

At the heart of Halloween decor is the carved pumpkin, known as the Jack-o’-lantern. This tradition, brought to Canada by Irish and Scottish immigrants, symbolizes the warding off of evil spirits. Communities often hold pumpkin-carving contests, allowing families to showcase their creativity and participate in the festive spirit.

Costumes Galore

Costumes are a key component of Halloween fun. Rooted in Celtic customs where disguises were worn to protect against malevolent spirits, today’s costumes reflect a wide range of influences— from pop culture icons to superheroes. Many invest time and creativity into their outfits, making it a day of shared excitement and group-themed ensembles.

Trick-or-Treating: The Highlight of the Night

On Halloween evening, children embark on a neighborhood adventure, going door-to-door to collect candy. This practice has historical roots dating back to the 15th century, when the poor would sing prayers in exchange for soul cakes. Over time, this evolved into the lively tradition we know today,

where children recite poems or perform tricks for treats.

For those handing out candy, it’s essential to prepare appropriately. Adults buy treats to reward the costumes and keep the fun going. If you’re not participating, simply turn off your lights to signal you’re not handing out goodies.

Tips for a Safe and Enjoyable Halloween: As you gear up for trick-or-treating, keep these considerations in mind:

4Consider Allergies: When purchasing candy, be mindful of common allergens like peanuts. Many parents prefer storebought treats for safety reasons, so it’s best to avoid homemade items.

4Cost-Effective Choices: Buying in bulk can save money. Consider large bags of lollipops or hard candies, ensuring each piece is individually wrapped.

4Alternative Treats: If you want to mix it up, think about giving out small toys, stickers, or other inexpensive items alongside candy.

With these insights, you’re ready to embrace Halloween in Canada! Whether you’re carving pumpkins, donning costumes, or trick-or-treating, this celebration is all about fun, community, and a touch of spookiness. Happy Halloween and have a great celebration.

Your vote, your future: Why civic participation matters

As the provincial elections approach in Canada, it’s a time for reflection, engagement, and action. For many, elections might feel like distant events, happening every four years with a barrage of political campaigns and promises. Yet, the importance of participating in these democratic processes cannot be overstated. Voting is not just a right; it is a crucial civic responsibility that guarantees your voice is represented in the decisions that shape our province.

The Importance of Civic Responsibility Civic responsibility refers to the duties citizens have toward their society. It’s about actively participating in the community and contributing to the democratic process. While this may take many forms, such as community service, advocacy, or staying informed on key issues, voting is one of the most direct ways to fulfill this responsibility.

culture of participation, we can help ensure a more inclusive and representative democracy.

Who is Eligible to Vote in British Columbia?

To participate in the upcoming provincial elections, certain eligibility requirements must be met. Understanding these criteria ensures that every eligible voter has the chance to make their voice heard. To vote in a provincial election, you must:

Be a Canadian citizen.

4Be at least 18 years of age or older on election day.

4Have lived in the province your voting at for at least six months before the election.

has an equal say in the political process. It’s also a way of honouring those who fought for the right to vote, both here in Canada and globally.

Empowering Future Generations

Exercising your civic responsibility sets a powerful example for future generations. Children, teenagers, and young adults look to their elders for guidance. When they see their family members or role models actively participating in the electoral process, they are more likely to value their own civic duties once they reach voting age.

Elections shape policies that affect every aspect of our daily lives. From healthcare and education to environmental protection and infrastructure development, the decisions made at the provincial level have a significant impact on individuals, families, and communities. By voting, you’re choosing who will advocate for your interests, make critical decisions that impact your life, and shape the future of the province you live in.

A healthy democracy depends on participation. Low voter turnout gives more power to smaller groups that may not represent everyone’s views. When people don’t vote, they lose their chance to influence important decisions. Higher turnout creates a government that better reflects and serves the whole population. To combat low voter turnout, people can actively encourage friends and family to vote, share accurate information about the voting process, and engage in conversations about why every vote matters. By fostering a

For those who aren’t eligible to vote, there are still plenty of ways to make an impact. You can stay engaged by raising awareness about important issues, encouraging eligible voters to participate, and supporting causes or candidates that align with your values. Volunteering for political campaigns, attending community events, and sharing reliable information can help influence public opinion and ensure that more voices are heard in the democratic process. Your efforts can still play a critical role in shaping the future, even without casting a ballot.

Why Voting Matters

“Does my one vote really make a difference?” The answer is yes! Elections can be won or lost by a handful of votes, and every ballot cast can influence the future direction of your province. When you choose not to vote, you’re essentially letting others decide your future. Voting gives you the power to influence policies, hold leaders accountable, and shape a government that reflects your values and priorities.

Beyond individual impact, voting is a fundamental part of a functioning democracy. It upholds the principle of “one person, one vote,” ensuring that everyone, regardless of background or social status,

It’s essential for parents and role models to engage in discussions about voting and democracy with their children and youth. These conversations help instill a sense of civic responsibility and empower young people to understand the impact of their voices. When adults openly share their thoughts on policies and the electoral process, they clarify voting and encourage curiosity. This dialogue also teaches critical thinking, allowing youth to form their own opinions and recognize the importance of participating in a democratic society. By modeling engagement and showing that their views matter, parents can inspire the next generation to be informed, active citizens who feel confident in their ability to effect change.

Your Voice, Your Power

The upcoming provincial election is an important opportunity to reflect on the kind of province you want to live in. Voting is more than just a right; it’s a responsibility that should not be taken lightly. By casting your vote, you’re not only shaping the future of our province but also exercising your power as a citizen to make your voice heard. So when election day comes, take the time to research, consider candidates and learn about their policies, and vote. The future of the province that you live in is in your hands.

Let’s explore the standout trends that promise to shape our style this autumn.

1. Earthy Tones and NatureInspired Palettes

One of the most significant trends this fall is the embrace of earthy tones. Shades of rust, ochre, deep greens, and warm browns evoke the natural landscape, inviting a sense of grounding and warmth. These colors not only celebrate the beauty of autumn but also symbolize a return to simplicity and authenticity in a world

that often feels overwhelming. Designers like Bode and Gabriela Hearst have showcased collections that highlight these hues, pairing them with sustainable fabrics that resonate with the eco-conscious consumer.

2. Oversized Silhouettes

Comfort continues to reign supreme as oversized silhouettes make a strong statement this season. From boxy jackets to voluminous trousers, the emphasis is on relaxed, easy-going styles that allow for movement and expression. This trend not only prioritizes comfort but also embodies a rejection of traditional, restrictive forms of dressing. Brands like Balenciaga and Acne Studios are leading the way with their innovative takes on oversized outerwear, encouraging a laid-back yet chic aesthetic.

3. Luxe Textures

As temperatures drop, the tactile quality of clothing becomes paramount. This fall, expect to see a rich variety of textures that invite touch and engagement. Velvet, corduroy, and chunky knits are making a comeback,

The interplay of materials not only adds depth to outfits but also reflects the growing desire for clothing that feels as good as it looks.

4. Statement Outerwear

Outerwear is always a focal point in fall fashion, but this season it takes on a more dramatic flair. Capes, oversized trench coats, and bold puffer jackets are set to dominate. These pieces serve as both functional and statementmaking garments, offering versatility for various occasions. Brands like The North Face and Maison Margiela are reimagining classic styles, ensuring that outerwear is not just practical but also a key element of personal style.

5. Vintage Revival

Nostalgia continues to play a pivotal role in fashion, with vintage styles making a significant comeback. This fall, expect to see influences from the ‘70s and ‘90s, with high-waisted trousers, printed blouses, and tailored blazers taking center stage.

Thrifted and vintage pieces are increasingly popular, highlighting the

movement towards sustainability and individuality in fashion.

Ultimately, fall fashion is about more than just looking good; it’s an opportunity to connect with the season, express our identities, and embrace the changes around us. As we step into the new season, let’s celebrate these trends that encourage us to express our individuality while remaining grounded in the beauty of nature.

Beauty on a Budget: Here’s how you can achieve radiance without breaking the bank

In today’s consumer-driven world, the pursuit of beauty often seems synonymous with high-end products and expensive routines. However, achieving a polished and radiant appearance doesn’t necessarily

require a lavish budget. Embracing a beauty regimen on a budget is not only feasible but can also be incredibly rewarding. This essay explores practical strategies and tips for maintaining a beauty routine without overspending,

demonstrating that looking great doesn’t have to come at a high cost.

1. Embrace Multi-Use Products: One of the most effective ways to save money on beauty products is by choosing multi-use

items. Products that serve more than one purpose—such as a tinted moisturizer that doubles as sunscreen or a lip and cheek tint— can streamline your beauty routine and reduce the number of products you need to purchase.

Multi-use products not only cut costs but also minimize clutter in your beauty cabinet.

2. Prioritize Quality Over Quantity: While it might be tempting to buy numerous inexpensive products, focusing on quality can be more cost-effective in the long run. Investing in a few

high-quality items that suit your skin type and needs will often provide better results than several lower-quality alternatives. For instance, a high-quality foundation or moisturizer might last longer and offer superior results, making it a worthwhile investment.

3. DIY Beauty Treatments: Creating your own beauty treatments at home can be a fun and economical way to maintain your appearance. Simple ingredients like honey, yogurt, and oats can be combined to make effective face masks, scrubs, and hair treatments.

For instance, a mixture of honey and lemon can brighten the skin, while a blend of avocado and olive oil can nourish dry hair. DIY treatments not only save money but also allow you to customize your skincare regimen to suit your specific needs.

4. Shop Smart: Smart shopping is essential for maintaining a beauty routine on a budget. Look for sales, discounts, and coupons to save on your favorite products. Many stores offer seasonal promotions or bulkbuy discounts that can significantly reduce costs. Additionally, consider purchasing drugstore or off-brand

alternatives that provide similar quality to higher-end products at a fraction of the price.

5. Maintain and Repurpose Products: Taking care of your beauty products can extend their lifespan and reduce the need for frequent replacements. For example, clean your makeup brushes regularly to ensure they last longer and perform better. Repurposing products, such as using an old lip balm container to store a new product or turning a broken eyeshadow into a custom lip color, can also help you get the most out of your purchases.

6. Simplify Your Routine: A minimalist beauty routine can be both effective and budget-friendly. Focus on essential products that address your primary beauty concerns rather than investing in numerous specialty items. A streamlined routine that includes a basic cleanser, moisturizer, and a few versatile makeup products can achieve a polished look without overwhelming your budget.

7. Leverage Samples and Travel Sizes: Many beauty stores and online retailers offer samples and travel-sized versions of their products. These smaller sizes are often more affordable and can be a great way to test new products before committing to full-sized versions. Additionally, travel-sized items are convenient for on-thego use, making them a practical choice for everyday beauty needs.

8. DIY Beauty Tools: Instead of spending money on expensive beauty tools, consider DIY alternatives. For instance, you can use household items like a spoon to curl lashes or an old toothbrush to exfoliate lips. Many beauty tools can be replicated or improvised with items you already have at home, saving you money while still achieving great results.

Maintaining a beauty routine on a budget is entirely achievable with a bit of creativity and smart planning. By embracing multi-use products, prioritizing quality, experimenting with DIY treatments, and shopping wisely, you can achieve a radiant and polished appearance without overspending. Ultimately, beauty on a budget demonstrates that true elegance and confidence come from making thoughtful choices and enjoying the process of self-care.

WELLNESS

As the days grow shorter and the landscape transforms into a tapestry of warm hues, fall invites us to pause and reflect. This season, with its crisp air and gentle rustling of leaves, serves as a perfect backdrop for cultivating mindfulness. The shift from the frenetic energy of summer to the introspective calm of autumn encourages us to turn inward, fostering a deeper connection with ourselves and the world around us.

Cultivating calm mindfulness practices for a tranquil fall

with practices fall

As the vibrant hues of autumn foliage blanket the landscape and the air turns crisp, fall presents a unique opportunity to cultivate mindfulness and embrace the calm that comes with this transformative season. The natural shift in the environment invites us to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with ourselves. We are here to help you explore various mindfulness practices that align with the serene essence of autumn, including meditation techniques, journaling prompts, and methods for creating a tranquil atmosphere in your daily life. By harnessing the spirit of fall, you can foster personal growth and inner peace during this cozy season.

Embracing Meditation Techniques

Meditation serves as a cornerstone of mindfulness, offering a sanctuary for the mind amid the bustling rhythms of everyday life. Autumn, with its cooler temperatures and quieter days, is an ideal time to establish a meditation practice. Begin by finding a comfortable, warm space where you can sit undisturbed.

One effective technique is the guided meditation for gratitude.

As you settle into your space, close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. Reflect on the abundance of the fall harvest and the beauty

colors around you. Each breath can become an anchor, helping you to stay present and aware of the beauty unfolding in this season of change.

Journaling for Reflection

Journaling is a powerful tool for self-discovery and reflection, particularly in the contemplative atmosphere of autumn. The falling leaves symbolize letting go, making it a fitting time to explore your thoughts and feelings through writing.

Consider using seasonal journaling prompts to guide your reflections. Here are a few to get you started:

4What does fall mean to you? Reflect on your personal associations with the season and how it makes you feel.

4What are you grateful for this season? List specific aspects of your life that bring you joy and appreciation.

4What changes would you like to embrace? Autumn is a time of transition; consider what new habits or perspectives you want to cultivate as the year winds down.

Set aside time each week to engage with these prompts. Create a cozy environment with soft lighting, a warm beverage, and your favorite blanket to enhance your journaling experience. This

practice can provide clarity, foster emotional well-being, and serve as a form of self-care.

Creating a Tranquil Environment

The environment plays a significant role in fostering mindfulness, especially during the cozy fall months. Consider how you can create a serene space that encourages reflection and relaxation.

Start by incorporating natural elements into your surroundings. Bring the essence of autumn indoors by displaying seasonal decorations like pumpkins, gourds, and colorful leaves. These reminders of nature can help you feel more connected to the world outside.

Lighting is another crucial factor in creating a tranquil atmosphere. As the days grow shorter, opt for soft, warm lighting—think candles, fairy lights, or a gentle lamp. This ambiance can encourage relaxation and provide a peaceful backdrop for your mindfulness practices.

Finally, consider adding soothing scents to your environment. Aromatherapy can enhance your mood and promote a sense of calm. Essential oils like cinnamon, clove, and sandalwood evoke the spirit of fall and can be diffused in your space or added to a warm bath.

AUTO

Preparing your car for winter is more than just a seasonal chore; it’s an essential step in ensuring your safety and comfort on the road. With temperatures dropping and unpredictable weather patterns on the rise, having a winter-ready vehicle can make all the difference in your driving experience.

Winter-ready wheels for safe driving in cold conditions

As winter approaches, the need for vehicle preparedness becomes paramount. Snow, ice, and freezing temperatures present unique challenges for drivers, making it essential to ensure that your car is ready to handle harsh conditions. This guide will provide you with essential tips and strategies to winter-proof your vehicle, ensuring your safety and reliability on the road.

Understanding Winter Challenges

Winter driving can be treacherous, and understanding the challenges is the first step in preparation. Icy roads, reduced visibility, and cold temperatures can all lead to accidents and vehicle malfunctions. By proactively addressing these issues, you can significantly reduce the risks associated with winter driving.

Common Winter Hazards

4Ice and Snow Accumulation: Icy patches can be difficult to detect, and snow can quickly accumulate on roadways, impacting traction.

4Reduced Visibility: Snowstorms can impair visibility, making it difficult to see other vehicles, traffic signals, and road signs.

4Cold Weather Effects: Extreme cold can affect battery performance, tire pressure, and fluid functionality.

Recognizing these hazards allows you to take informed steps

toward preparing your vehicle.

Essential Preparations for Your Vehicle

Preparing your car for winter involves several key checks and upgrades. Each component plays a critical role in your vehicle’s performance and your safety.

1. Tire Inspection and Replacement

Importance of Tires

Tires are the only contact between your vehicle and the road, making them crucial for safe driving, especially in winter. Proper tread depth and type can enhance traction on snowy and icy surfaces.

Tips for Tire Preparation

4Winter Tires: Consider investing in winter tires, specifically designed for low temperatures and slippery conditions. They offer improved grip and handling compared to all-season tires.

4Tread Depth: If winter tires are not an option, ensure your all-season tires have at least 4/32 of an inch of tread. This depth helps maintain traction in winter conditions.

4Tire Pressure: Monitor your tire pressure regularly, as it decreases in cold weather. Properly inflated tires improve handling and fuel efficiency.

2. Battery Health Check

Understanding Battery Performance

Cold weather can reduce your battery’s efficiency, making it more challenging to start your vehicle.

Tips for Battery Maintenance

4Battery Testing: Have your battery tested before winter sets in. Many auto

parts stores offer free testing services.

4Corrosion Cleaning: Clean any corrosion from battery terminals and ensure all connections are secure.

4Replacement Consideration: If your battery is older than three years, consider replacing it to avoid starting issues during the cold months.

3. Fluid Levels and Maintenance

Significance of Fluids

Fluids are vital to your vehicle’s operation, especially in extreme temperatures.

Tips for Fluid Management

4Antifreeze: Check your antifreeze levels to prevent engine freeze. Ensure it’s at the recommended levels and suitable for winter conditions.

4Windshield Washer Fluid: Fill your washer fluid reservoir with a wintergrade solution to prevent freezing and ensure clear visibility during snowy conditions.

4Oil and Other Fluids: Regularly check and top off oil, brake fluid, and transmission fluid to keep your vehicle running smoothly.

4. Wiper Blades and Visibility

Enhancing Visibility

Proper visibility is essential for safe driving in winter weather.

Tips for Wiper Maintenance

Wiper Blade Replacement: Repace old wiper blades with winter-specific ones designed to handle ice and snow.

4Headlights and Taillights: Inspect all lights to ensure they are functioning properly. Replace any burnt-out bulbs to maximize visibility during dark, wintry days.

Emergency Preparedness

No matter how well you prepare, winter conditions can still lead to unexpected situations. An emergency kit can be a lifesaver in case of a breakdown or an accident.

Building Your Emergency Kit

Essential Items

4Blanket and Warm Clothing: Keep a

warm blanket and extra clothing in your car to stay warm if stranded.

4Flashlight and Batteries: A flashlight will help in low visibility situations, especially during nighttime.

4Non-perishable Snacks and Water: Stock snacks and bottled water to sustain you if you are stuck for an extended period.

4First Aid Kit: A basic first aid kit is crucial for addressing minor injuries.

4Jumper Cables and Shovel: Jumper cables can help start a dead battery, while a small shovel can assist in digging out snow.

Safe Driving Practices

Preparation extends beyond your vehicle; your driv-ing habits must also adapt to winter conditions.

1. Adjust Your Driving Style

Tips for Safe Driving

4Speed Reduction: Always reduce your speed when driving in adverse weather. Slower speeds provide more time to react to unforeseen circumstances.

4Increased Following Distance: Allow for a greater distance between your vehicle and the one in front of you. This gives you more time to stop safely on slippery roads.

4Smooth Movements: Avoid sudden acceleration, braking, or sharp turns. Gentle maneuvers help maintain control on icy surfaces.

2. Know Your Vehicle

Understanding Handling

Every vehicle handles differently, especially in winter conditions. Familiarize yourself with your car’s responses in snow or ice.

Tips for Familiarization

4Practice in Safe Areas: If possible, practice driving in an empty parking lot to understand how your vehicle behaves in winter conditions.

4Know Your Features: Be aware of any safety features your car has, such as anti-lock brakes and traction control, and understand how to use them effectively.

Essential strategies to boost immunity before winter

As the days grow shorter and the temperatures drop, fall invites us to embrace change and prepare for the winter ahead. This transition is not only a time for cozy sweaters and pumpkin spice lattes but also a crucial period to focus on our health. Strengthening your immune system during these autumn months can help ward off the seasonal sniffles and keep you feeling your best.

As fall arrives and the air grows colder, the importance of bolstering your immune system cannot be overstated. With winter on the horizon, taking proactive steps to strengthen your body’s defenses can help you fend off common illnesses and keep you feeling your best. From dietary choices to lifestyle changes, here’s a comprehensive guide on how to boost your immunity before the cold weather sets in.

Nourish Your Body with ImmuneBoosting Foods

Diet plays a pivotal role in maintaining a healthy immune system. By focusing on nutrient-dense foods, you can provide your body with the essential vitamins and minerals it needs to function optimally.

Key

Nutrients:

Vitamin C: This powerful antioxidant is crucial for producing white blood cells, vital for fighting off infections. Incorporate vitamin C-rich foods like citrus fruits, strawberries, bell peppers, and broccoli into your meals. Fresh juices, salads, and smoothies are delicious ways to enjoy these immuneboosting options.

Zinc: An important mineral that supports immune function. Foods such as nuts, seeds, legumes, and whole grains are rich in zinc. Adding these to your diet can enhance your body’s ability to fend off infections.

Probiotics: Incorporating fermented foods like yogurt, kefir, and sauerkraut can promote a healthy gut microbiome, which is closely linked to immune health.

Insider Tip: Consider a seasonal detox by incorporating fresh fruits and vegetables into your meals to give your body a nutrient boost and promote overall well-being.

Stay Active

Regular physical activity is a cornerstone of a healthy lifestyle and can significantly strengthen your immune system. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderateintensity aerobic activity each week, as recommended by health experts.

Activity Suggestions:

Cardio: Engage in activities like brisk walking, cycling, or swimming to improve circulation and enhance the efficiency of immune cells.

Strength Training: Incorporate strength training at least twice a week to build muscle and further support your immune function. For those who enjoy group activities, joining a local class or sports team can add a social element to your exercise routine, making it more enjoyable and motivating. Finding an activity you love is key to staying consistent and keeping your immune system in top shape.

Insider Tip: Even short bursts of physical activity throughout the day can be beneficial. Consider taking walking breaks during your workday or choosing the stairs over the elevator.

Prioritize Sleep

Quality sleep is fundamental to a robust immune system. During sleep, your body produces proteins called cytokines that help combat infection and inflammation. Therefore, prioritizing your sleep hygiene is essential as colder months approach.

Sleep Tips:

Aim for 7-9 Hours: Establish a relaxing bedtime routine that includes winding down with a book, practicing relaxation techniques, or gentle stretching.

Limit Screen Time: Reducing exposure to screens before bed can significantly improve sleep quality.

Create a Comfortable Environment:

Ensure your bedroom is dark, quiet, and cool. Investing in a good quality mattress and pillows can enhance your sleep quality.

Insider Tip: Use sleep aids like white noise machines or essential oil diffusers with calming scents, such as lavender, to create a peaceful atmosphere.

Manage Stress

Chronic stress can negatively impact your immune system, making it crucial to find effective ways to manage stress levels. Incorporating relaxation techniques into your daily routine can significantly improve your overall well-being.

Stress-Relief Strategies:

Mindfulness Practices: Techniques such as meditation and deep breathing exercises can help reduce stress and enhance your immune response.

Yoga: Combining physical activity with mindfulness, yoga promotes relaxation and flexibility.

Social Connections: Maintaining relationships with friends and family provides emotional support and reduces feelings of isolation.

Insider Tip: Journaling can be a therapeutic way to process your thoughts and emotions. Consider writing down your feelings, setting intentions, or expressing gratitude as part of your daily routine.

As winter approaches, taking proactive steps to boost your immune system can help you stay healthy and vibrant throughout the colder months.

HEALTH

Recommendations

To foster healthier eating habits, try to have at least one or two meals a day at the dining table without distractions from the TV, phone, or other screens. Eating with your hands can enhance your awareness of the food’s texture and temperature, and taking smaller bites and chewing thoroughly can improve satisfaction and help your body recognize when you’re full.

Enjoy your meals and savor the experience for better health and well-being.

Dr. Pargat Singh Bhurji MD,FRCP ( C ) Consultant Pediatrician, Surrery, BC.

Is eating in front of the TV really that

bad for you?

With so many great shows and films available these days, it’s tempting to enjoy them while eating. But is dining in front of the TV a good idea?

The concept of a “TV dinner” often conjures images of processed meals packed with salt and additives, eaten while lounging on the sofa. But what if you’re eating a plateful of healthy vegetables and whole grains? Does eating this nutritious meal in front of the TV negate its benefits? Research suggests that eating while watching TV might not be the best choice, regardless of what you’re eating. Here’s why:

Distraction and Memory

Studies indicate that our environment significantly influences our eating habits. TV watching, a sedentary activity,

is associated with lower levels of exercise, which can lead to weight gain and obesity.

When we’re engrossed in a TV show, we might not pay full attention to our food. Monique Alblas, an assistant professor of communication science at the University of Amsterdam, explains that distractions can lead us to eat more. We may not notice our body’s signals indicating fullness, potentially causing us to overeat by up to one-third. Additionally, we might not remember having eaten, leading to additional meals sooner.

Food may also seem less satisfying when we’re distracted. Floor van Meer, a data science researcher at Wageningen Food Safety Research, found that distracted eating can result in less satisfaction from food. This lack of satisfaction can prompt us to consume more, as we seek the enjoyment we’re not fully experiencing.

Eating Habits and Caloric Intake

Engaging with a TV program can lead to mindless eating, where we consume more calorie-dense foods while watching action movies, or more snacks like chocolate, cookies, and popcorn during comedies or romantic films. Frequent TV advertisements targeted at children promote processed foods and sugary drinks. This exposure can lead to higher demands for such foods, which are often low in nutritional value and high in calories.

Health Implications

Eating in front of the TV can contribute to a sedentary lifestyle, which, combined with poor food choices, can lead to weight gain and decreased metabolism, increasing the risk of obesity-related complications. For children, it can result in decreased focus, impulsivity, argumentative behavior, and negatively impact school performance.

EDUCATION

In a notable shift that could reshape the landscape for international students in Canada, the Trudeau government has announced a 10% reduction in the intake cap for study permits in 2025. This decision, which lowers the target from 485,000 permits to 437,000, follows a peak of 500,000 permits issued in 2023. For students from India, who constitute nearly 40% of all international students in Canada, these changes signal a significant hurdle in their pursuit of education abroad.

NEW CANADIAN IMMIGRATION IMPLICATIONS FOR INDIAN STUDENTS

Understanding the Policy Changes: Starting in 2025, the new regulations will require students enrolled in master’s and doctoral programs to include a provincial or territorial attestation letter with their applications. The intake cap will remain fixed at this new level for 2026, highlighting a tightening of the admissions landscape.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau justified these cuts, emphasizing the need to prevent abuses within the system and protect genuine students. The government aims to balance the economic benefits of international education with stricter oversight of immigration practices. This policy shift comes at a time when the influx of Indian students has surged—growing from approximately 32,800 in 2013 to nearly 140,000 by 2023.

Implications for Indian Students: The Indian student community has seen remarkable growth in Canadian universities, with enrollment skyrocketing

over 5,800% since 2000. Currently, around 427,000 Indian students are studying in Canada out of an estimated 1.335 million studying abroad. The reduction in study permits could stifle this trend, making it more challenging for future aspirants.

Furthermore, additional regulatory measures will impact students’ post-study work options. The updated Post-Graduation Work Permit Program will now align more closely with labor market needs, limiting eligibility for spouses of master’s degree students and requiring higher language proficiency levels for work permit applications. These changes may deter potential students who rely on post-study work opportunities to support their transition into the workforce.

Economic Context and Broader Implications: International education is a critical sector for Canada’s economy, contributing over $22 billion annually and supporting more than 200,000

jobs. The decline in international students during the pandemic resulted in a significant economic loss, underscoring the importance of this demographic. The government’s current policies, which also include stricter guidelines for the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, suggest a broader intention to limit low-wage, temporary foreign labor.

Recent adjustments to off-campus work regulations for international students, limiting work hours to 20 per week, alongside rising cost-of-living requirements, further com plicate financial planning for many. The updated financial criteria for study permit ap plicants now require a min imum of $20,635, increas ing the financial burden on prospective students.

Looking Ahead: Considerations for Indian Aspirants: As Canada tightens

IMMIGRATION POLICIES:

STUDENTS SEEKING EDUCATION ABROAD

its immigration policies, Indian students may need to explore alternative study destinations. Countries like the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia continue to attract international students with favorable immigration frameworks and robust educational offerings. Prospective students must weigh these options carefully in light of Canada’s

new regulations.

In conclusion, the recent policy changes by the Trudeau government present significant challenges for international students, particularly those from India. As the landscape for studying in Canada evolves, students must remain informed and adaptable, considering both the potential hurdles and the opportunities that may arise in their pursuit of education abroad.

PET CARE

All you need to know about dementia in dogs

In this month’s article, we will be discussing a common condition found in canines, known as “Canine Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome”. In simple terms, one can refer to this condition as Dog Dementia as well. Yes, this is similar to the condition that we can see in humans, as they also age with time.

Canine cognitive dysfunction syndrome correlates with the aging of the dog’s brain, which causes them to eventually lose their sharp awareness of their surroundings, learning capabilities, responsiveness and even memory.

The symptoms will first appear to be of a mild state; however, they will progress with time and unfortunately worsen and become more severe. This process is known as ‘Cognitive Decline’.

The signs of this condition are anxiety, restlessness, not wishing to play anymore, slow to learn new training, disorientation, decreased grooming, confusion, forgetting previous training, no control over urinating or defecating, sleep patterns altered, decreased appetite, excessive licking, frustration and barking.

According to statistics, it is seen that at least one out of every three dogs that are over the age of ten will display at least one sign of Canine Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome. If you feel that your dog may be showing any of these signs, then your veterinarian can perform a full physical examination. He or she will also need a full history of when the symptom(s) initially presented themselves, in order to conduct a proper diagnosis of this condition. Other diagnostic measures may also be performed in order to rule out any other underlying causes for such exhibiting signs.

Canines that are diagnosed with Dog Dementia will then begin a long-term treatment of supportive care for this condition. Such care will consist of improving your dog’s

living environment and health in order to maintain an ideal condition for improvement. This will allow the Cognitive Decline to be delayed and not progress as quickly otherwise. Changes in exercise routine, playing time and also training, or needing to train again, will be introduced as well.

Other adjustments that can be made to facilitate a dog with this condition is to provide night lights for your canine companion to navigate throughout the house easier in the dark. Place training pads near your dog so that there is a place for him or her to use the washroom in case of an emergency, where they cannot control their urination or bowel movement. Certain medications or behavioral treatments may also be advised by your veterinarian based on the individual case of your pet.

Diet is also a key component to managing a better lifestyle. Certain supplements can also be added to the diet regiment in order to help with your dog’s cognitive function. Such as: Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Selenium, Beta Carotene, Carotenoids, Flavonoids, Omega-3 and Carnitine. Follow-up appointments with your veterinarian may be needed regularly.

FOOD

A CELEBRATION OF GRATITUDE

Canadian Thanksgiving, celebrated on the second Monday in October, is a meaningful holiday that embodies gratitude and togetherness. While its roots are similar to those of American Thanksgiving, this uniquely Canadian celebration reflects the country’s diverse cultural landscape and the importance of community and family ties.

AND TOGETHERNESS

Canadian Thanksgiving is a celebration of gratitude, community, and the bonds that unite us. As families gather to share meals and traditions, they not only honor the harvest but also reinforce the connections that enrich their lives. With unique dishes and heartfelt reflections, Canadians come together to create lasting memories, ensuring that the spirit of Thanksgiving is felt throughout the country each year.

Canadian Thanksgiving can be traced back to the early 17th century, when explorer Martin Waldseemüller celebrated a successful harvest with Indigenous peoples. Unlike its American counterpart, which commemorates the Pilgrims’ feast, Canadian Thanksgiving has more in common with European harvest festivals. The holiday evolved over the years, formally recognized in 1879, as a day of giving thanks for the harvest and blessings of the past year.

At its core, Canadian Thanksgiving emphasizes reflection and gratitude. As the fall season ushers in a time of harvest, Canadians take this opportunity to acknowledge their

blessings, whether they be family, health, or personal accomplishments. This period of reflection cultivates a mindset of appreciation that resonates deeply in Canadian culture, reinforcing the value of community and connection.

The essence of Canadian Thanksgiving is captured in the gathering of family and friends around the dinner table. Many Canadians travel long distances to reunite with loved ones, sharing stories and creating cherished memories. This celebration is characterized by the spirit of togetherness, as families come together to share not only food but also traditions that have been passed down through generations.

In addition, Canadian Thanksgiving encourages acts of kindness and inclusivity. Many individuals open their homes to those who may be alone or in need, fostering a sense of community support. This aspect of the holiday highlights the importance of compassion and generosity, reflecting the Canadian values of inclusivity and care for others.

Spiced Pumpkin and Sage Risotto:

Instructions: Sauté onion and garlic, add Arborio rice and gradually stir in vegetable broth. Once creamy, mix in pumpkin puree, chopped sage, and Parmesan. This savory dish is a delightful alternative to traditional starches.

Cranberry-Pear Chutney:

Halloween offers the perfect opportunity to infuse your home with seasonal charm. Whether you’re hosting a ghoulish gathering or simply looking to delight passersby, decorating for Halloween can be a joyful and creative process.

Halloween is a time for creativity and fun, and transforming your home into a spooky haven doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. With a few easy ideas, you can create a festive atmosphere that will impress your guests and delight trick-or-treaters. Here are some simple decor ideas, along with tips and tricks to make your Halloween decorating a breeze.

1. Pumpkin Accents

Idea: Pumpkins are quintessential Halloween decorations. While traditional orange pumpkins are a classic choice, consider painting or decorating them to match your home’s color scheme.

Tip: Use acrylic paint to create designs, such as polka dots, stripes, or spooky faces. For an elegant touch, metallic spray paint can give a chic look. Small pumpkins can be grouped together on tables or windowsills for a charming display.

2. Spooky Silhouettes

Idea: Create eerie silhouettes to place in windows or on walls.

Tip: Use black construction paper or cardboard to cut out shapes like bats, spiders, or witches. Tape these to your windows or walls, and when illuminated at night, they create a haunting effect. For added drama, backlight them with simple LED lights.

3. Ghostly Garlands

Idea: Garlands made from ghostly figures add a whimsical touch to your decor.

Tip: Use white fabric or cheesecloth to create simple ghost shapes. Fill them with

Spook-tacular Halloween decor ideas to enchant HOME DECOR

a bit of cotton or newspaper for volume and hang them from string or twine. You can also use plastic grocery bags to make quick and easy ghosts that sway in the breeze.

4. Creepy Candle Displays Idea: Candles set the perfect mood for Halloween.

Tip: Use varying heights of candles (real or LED) on decorative trays or within lanterns. To create a spooky effect, wrap some of the candles in gauzy fabric or drape fake spider webs around them. Consider using black or deep purple candles for a more

dramatic effect.

5. Wreaths and Door Decor Idea: A Halloween-themed wreath can welcome guests with a festive spirit.

Tip: Create a simple wreath using a foam or grapevine base. Decorate it with faux leaves, mini pumpkins, and skulls. You can also use orange and black ribbons to tie everything together. Hang it on your front door or indoors to set the tone for your Halloween celebrations.

6. Table Settings

Idea: Transform your dining table with Halloween-themed

Halloween home

enchant your space

settings.

Tip: Use black tablecloths or placemats as a base. Incorporate themed dinnerware, like skullshaped plates or pumpkin centerpieces. Scatter some faux spider webs or mini plastic spiders on the table for an added creepy factor.

7. DIY Spider Webs

Idea: Creating spider webs is an easy way to add an instant spooky vibe.

Tip: Use cotton balls or storebought spider web material to stretch across doorways,

furniture, or ceilings. To make it even more eerie, add plastic spiders for a surprise element. This decor is quick to set up and takes minimal effort.

8. Interactive Elements

Idea: Engage your guests with interactive decor.

Tip: Set up a “mystery box” filled with spooky items like peeled grapes (eyeballs), cooked spaghetti (guts), or other textured items. Cover the box and let guests reach in without looking. This tactile experience can be a hit at Halloween gatherings.

Decorating for Halloween can be a fun and enjoyable activity, allowing you to express your creativity. By incorporating simple and inexpensive elements, you can create an inviting yet spooky atmosphere that captures the spirit of the holiday. Whether you opt for classic pumpkins, eerie silhouettes, or interactive decor, these easy ideas will help transform your home into a Halloween masterpiece. Remember to plan ahead, gather your materials, and most importantly, have fun as you embrace the festive spirit of the season.

MOVIE REVIEW

Cast: Kareena Kapoor, Prabhleen Sandhu, Ranveer Brar, Keith Allen, Daniel Eghan

Genre: Crime, Mystery, Thriller

Director: Hansal Mehta

Duration: 1 hour 50 minutes

Critic’s Rating: 3.5/5

Story Overview: In The Buckingham Murders, British Indian detective Jasmeet Bhamra, known as Jas (played by Kareena Kapoor Khan), is thrust into a complex murder case in a quaint English town. As she grapples with the fallout of her own life, she must untangle the mystery surrounding a missing Sikh boy and navigate the social tensions that ripple beneath the surface.

Review: When a young Sikh boy disappears in a small British town, the investigation quickly turns its gaze toward a Muslim teen, igniting fears of communal conflict in an already volatile region. Assigned to the case, Jas, a stoic and seasoned detective in her forties, finds herself battling personal demons

The Buckingham Murders

Kareena Kapoor’s silent strength in a gripping murder mystery

as she faces the ghosts of her own lost child. Choosing to immerse herself in work rather than confront her grief, Jas’s quest for justice becomes a mirror reflecting her unresolved trauma and the societal tensions at play.

The film draws inspiration from acclaimed British crime dramas like Happy Valley and Mare of Easttown, known for their intricate character studies interwoven with profound social commentary. The Buckingham Murders carries a heavy atmosphere of unease, maintaining a relentless tension that, while gripping, often overshadows the central murder investigation. The film presents an environment thick with silence and dread, yet it sometimes sacrifices the energetic pulse that typically drives this genre.

Set against the backdrop of sleepy English towns, the film’s characters often feel disconnected from their surroundings, a flaw reminiscent of other recent adaptations like Blind. Despite this, The Buckingham Murders excels as a character study exploring themes of grief and anger. Jas’s reluctance to confront her emotional state is powerfully illustrated, particularly in a poignant exchange with her father that lingers in the viewer’s mind.

Kareena Kapoor delivers a nuanced performance, showcasing her ability to convey depth without relying on theatrics. Her portrayal of Jas is a refreshing departure from her previous commercial roles, leaning into subtlety and introspection. The film allows her to weaponize her silence, embodying a woman searching for closure amidst chaos. Supporting performances from Chef Ranveer Brar and Ash Tandon further enrich the narrative, adding layers to the complex web of suspects. While the film may not deliver the heartpounding thrills one might expect from a crime thriller, its exploration of grief, isolation, and the weight of unspoken emotions is commendable. Viewers will find themselves guessing until the end, with twists that keep the audience engaged. Though one wishes for a more chilling build-up, the film succeeds in delivering a thoughtful commentary on personal and societal struggles.

The Buckingham Murders is a compelling watch for those who appreciate character-driven narratives and the intricacies of human emotion, showcasing Kareena Kapoor in a role that defies expectations and highlights the power of silent strength in the face of adversity.
