Breakfast with Santa attracts nearly 200 guests!

By Casandra Turnbull

The Paris Brant Kiwanis Club held a very successful, nearly sold out Breakfast with Santa event on November 26th at St James Church

Holiday cheer was in the air as guests started arriving for the first of two sittings at 8:30 am. The Christmas music set the tone as patrons filed in and selected their festively decorated table and lined up for some delicious pancakes and sausage. Hats off to the cooks who kept up with the demand and produced some a yummy breakfast that had guests lining up for seconds. Also, a special shutout to the coffee man for making sure all the adults had an adequate amount of caffeine ahead of Santa’s

arrival! Just as everyone sat down to enjoy their stacks of pancakes and maple syrup of course, the man of the hour arrived and made a grand entrance, “Did I hear the Kiwanis Club is hosting breakfast?” he asked!

Santa walked around visiting each family as they enjoyed breakfast. You could see the delight in the children’s faces as Santa stopped to have a personal conversation with each child.

Following breakfast, the kids took turns lining up to sit on Santa’s lap and to share with him their Christmas wish list.

All you need is time for Priceless Art Auction

Rotary Satellite Club of Paris announces inaugural fundraiser

By Carolina Saenz

The Rotary Satellite Club of Paris is proud to organize their first fundraising event in the new year. The Inaugural Priceless Art Auction will be held on January 27th, 2023, at the Wincey Mills from 6:30pm to 9pm. On behalf of the club, one of its founding members Dale Hall shares some details about the event and additional information for those interested in joining this new and exciting community club. A recent addition to Paris, The Rotary Satellite Club of Paris is kicking off the new year with some excitement. Putting a twist on the traditional silent auction

format, the Inaugural Priceless Art Auction invites attendees to bid with the time they’re willing to donate to acquire the featured art pieces. So instead of bidding with money, attendees will choose a non profit or charitable organization to volunteer at and bid for each art piece with the time they’re willing to donate to acquire it. Successful bidders will be the ones who are willing to donate the most amount of volunteer hours to a cause of their choice. Once the hours have been completed, the bidder will receive their art.

“The desire to host a priceless art auction came from the need for volunteers for all non-profit and charitable organizations, and for those households who would love to purchase an original piece for their house, but cannot allocate the funds to do so at this time,” shares Hall. The fundraiser is being supported by the Taren White Gallery and will feature eight to 10 pieces donated by local artists including Taren White, Francine Tausney, and Kim Clarke. Most of the pieces are larger sized canvas and are painted in acrylic, oil and mixed media.

Continued on page 8

Local artist Taren White said she is very excited to be part of the Rotary Club of Paris’ first fundraising event next month. She is the owner of the Taren White Gallery located in downtown Paris. She will be one of several local artists whose work will be up for auction.

There will be abstract art, landscapes and still life, and with a variety of local talent represented, this event is truly a fabulous opportunity to collect a new piece of local art. “We are excited to be a part of the Paris Rotary Satellite Club's first event. It's been fun working with the club as well as with the artists to provide beautiful pieces of original art for auction,” writes White.

"The club members are looking forward to our first fundraising event and we're excited to host something that will not only see funds raised for the community, but it will also provide support to some of our local charities in the volunteer hours created,” added Hall.

Those interested in joining the club, are encouraged to reach out via social media (Facebook or Instagram). The Satellite Club

currently holds two events a month, including meetings, socials and projects. Currently made up of 11 members, event locations vary to support all small businesses.

You can purchase Priceless Art Auction tickets on eventbrite. To learn more about local volunteering opportunities, visit the BRAVAwebsite

Changes proposed for Mile Hill Road

Mile Hill Road could soon become a one-way street for both vehicular and pedestrian use. The County is proposing the changes take effect in the Spring of 2023. A public meeting is scheduled for January 11 from 4 pm to 6 pm., where residents are invited to share their feedback and ask questions.

By Casandra Turnbull

Some big changes are slated for Mile Hill Road and it’s generating a lot of discussion among residents on several online platforms.

Under the proposal recommended by County of Brant staff, Mile Hill Road in Paris, currently a two-way road, will convert to a one-way, southbound road (uphill use only). Reducing the roadway to one lane of traffic will enable the county to introduce a new multi use path on the west side of the road. This pedestrian path will run between Hillside Ave/Washington Street area to the top of Mile Hill at Powerline Road New rumble strips, pavement markings and signage will be added to support the changes. According to the EngageBrant website, these changes will be implemented on a trial basis and can be easily reversed if deemed inadequate.

There seems to be a divide between residents who think the changes are necessary to combat

speeding, and for the protection of motorists and pedestrians versus those who believe it will add to an already growing traffic backlog in town. The county is hosting an information session and public meeting next month to gather feedback from residents.

The reason for the proposed changes, according to Melissa Connor, Director of Communications and Marketing for the County of Brant, is the result of concerns submitted by area residents through the Brant Safe Streets Program Speed and traffic counts were conducted in both 2019 and 2022 and staff noted a significant increase in traffic volume and speeds over this time, she stated.

“The road platform and geometry does not have sufficient room to accommodate both vehicular and pedestrian traffic,” noted Connor.

Anyone who’s travelled Mile Hill Road can attest to the fact that the roadway is very narrow. While it served as a convenient shortcut for traffic travelling from Rest Acres Road to the town’s old south end, and vice versa for many decades, it simply was not built to accommodate the increase in traffic stemming from massive development on Rest Acres Road. Speeding remains a major concern for residents on or near Mile Hill, specifically for residents who live on Washington Street.

The Paris Independent asked if environmental impact studies were completed on Mile Hill before construction started on the Rest Acres Road subdivisions, and what those studies concluded, but that information was not readily available before press deadline When asked how public input will affect the proposed changes, set to take place in the spring of 2023, Connor replied, “County staff and the consulting engineer are gathering comments and distributing information currently to prepare a report for council consideration.”

The County is hosting an in-person public information session on Wednesday, January 11 from 4 pm to 6 pm at the Brant Sports Complex Residents are encouraged to attend and review presentation slides and provide input. County representatives will be available to answer questions and engage in discussions.

Numerous residents have commented on public forums that the meeting time is not convenient for most residents who work during business hours. Connor said it is difficult to accommodate many different working schedules and that staff tried to satisfy all residents Also, by providing 7 weeks’ advance notice of the meeting, county staff hope residents can make the appropriate arrangements to attend If attending in person is not an option, Connor reminded residents that the Engage Brant portal is now open if you’d like to submit your feedback, concerns or suggestions. The tentative start for construction to implement these proposed changes is between May and June 2023.

LOCAL HISTORY

MILE HILL GYPSUM MINES

Paris, Ontario came into being because of the presence of large quantities of gypsum in the area The first gypsum was discovered in this area by surveyor Augustus Jones in 1793. In 1822, William Holme started what was probably the first gypsum mine in Ontario at that site A year later, Holme added a gypsum mill, but shortly thereafter sold his 400 hectare (1,000 acre) estate and all his mining ventures to Hiram Capron Holme then purchased land in Brantford for farming that today is known as Holmedale. Mile Hill gypsum mines operated between 1822 and 1905 and produced 68,000 tons of gypsum The mines were operated by the Alabastine Company of Paris. It was reported by David Brown, president of the company in 1890, that these gypsum beds were between 4 5 and 6 feet thick and of grey colour only suitable for fertilizer. Capron, using the estate as a base, laid out the plots for the town. Acknowledging the impact of gypsum in the creation of the town, Capron disliked the name “Forks of the Grand” and decided the town

should have a shorter, more romantic name like that of the wellknown plaster. The original settlers were not sold on the name “Paris” it reminded them of mobs, guillotines, and ambitious ladies For a short time, Capron referred to the town as Nithsville and then Parisville, before they finally agreed to let him name their settlement Paris. Under Capron's ownership, the mines expanded not only to meet the traditional needs for gypsum products throughout the province of Ontario, but also to farmers who

used the chopped up grey gypsum as fertilizer, “Land Plaster”. Other gypsum deposits in Paris contained a whiter gypsum that was ground into a powder for making plaster. Another quarry near the end of a well warned wagon road used to cart the gypsum to Governor’s road (Dundas Street) was sprinkled with falling gypsum causing the trail to become green with vegetation hence the name “Green Lane”

LOCAL HISTORY

The End of an Era for Paris Kitchens’ Factory

John Harold was born in Brantford in 1873. When he was about seventeen, he started to work for the A. Harris Company, which later became Massey Harris, and he went from office boy to office manager in that time. When the company became Massey Harris, he became very ill. He was overworked through all this business of the amalgamation of the company and his doctor told him he had to take a trip on the ocean this was the great cure all. Harold and his wife Edith borrowed the money to go on a trip to England It was a tremendous success, he regained his health and moved to Paris in 1902 and started the Sanderson Harold Company with Mr. John Sanderson of Brantford In 1906, their factory burned to the ground on Christmas Eve. It was the first year they had made money manufacturing refrigerators (ice boxes) and screen windows and door products as well as other household furnishings They felt they had turned the corner. The Town of Paris really came to his rescue. They set him up in offices downtown and the Town backed the bonds they had to raise to build the new factory He had great support

from the Town of Paris and the business began to flourish. Then in about 1917, he was asked to run for Parliament. At the time the first Great War was on, and he was against conscription He joined the Union Government and ran against Harry Cockshutt from Brantford. He won, but he didn't win the immediate election around the area There was a soldiers' vote, and it came in slowly from overseas and he was elected, by about 87 votes. He was in Parliament until 1921 and decided not to run again because his business was demanding his attention. His sons Edgar and Jack had been overseas, so he came back to the factory. For about five years during the Depression, he didn't take a salary from the company Most of the people who had money in the company were relatives of John and his wife, there were very few shares that anyone else had in the company, the Sandersons and the Harolds had the bulk of them Then in 1936, he was asked to go to Toronto to head up the Workman's Compensation Board. He was there for six years. All 3 of John Harold’s boys worked at the factory Edgar became General Manager and President

when John went to Toronto. Jack’s talent lay in managing the factory and James was the sales manager. They all got along extremely well. John & Edith also had a daughter named Muriel and she eventually married Jack Pickell and they became the owners and operators of the Paris Star Newspaper.

John retired and came back to Paris in 1944 He only lived three years after that. But he made a great contribution towards the Willett Hospital. He was the first President in 1922 and he was head of the Willett’s board until he went to Toronto in 1936. Then when he came back in 1944, they asked him to be Chairman of the Board again, and he filled that role until 1947. His son Edgar then took over as President of the hospital board for another 16 years. Mr. Harold also served on council as deputy reeve in the 1930’s. They took a great interest in the hospital fund, and John’s wife was the first president of the Ladies' Organization.

They were very outstanding citizens of Paris, and the Paris Kitchens name lives on as a testament to this family’s legacy and many contributions to our town

Councillors voice concerns over Bill 23

More Homes Built Faster Act could have a $15 million impact in Brant over the next five years

By Casandra Turnbull

Brant County Councillors are urging residents to reach out to MPP Will Bouma and Premier Doug Ford to voice their concerns over Bill 23, which will have economic, social and environmental impacts on municipalities and taxpayers. In mid November, Bill 23 More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022, passed a second reading and was referred to the Standing Committee on Heritage, Infrastructure and Cultural Policy. Municipalities had the chance to submit written comments by November 17th a deadline that was unobtainable considering most municipalities had not yet sworn in their new council following the municipal elections at the end of October Despite wide criticism from cities province wide, Ontario passed the housing bill on Monday as the government pushes to build 1 5 million homes in 10 years. The Association of Municipalities of Ontario unpacked Bill 23 and found that it proposes numerous changes to the Development Charges Act and Planning Act that will significantly impact

how municipal governments recover the costs associated with growth

Bill 23 proposes to exempt developers who build affordable, inclusionary zoning and select attainable housing units from paying development charges, parkland dedication fees, and community benefit charges. The bill also includes several additional changes, including reductions in costs associated with rental residential construction and changes to the method for determining development charges, among others, according to the AMO website What this

translates to is approximately $1 billion in costs transferred from the developers to taxpayers provincewide Locally, that figure is just over $15 million over five years. During the November 22 Brant County Council meeting, councillors discussed Bill 23 in more depth. Councillor Steve Howes says Bill 23 does not specify housing types so that allows more $800,000, $900,000, and $1,000,000 homes to be built in our community, which is not helping the people that need help the most.

It’s not addressing a shortage in affordable housing Howes feels the Bill needs to put an emphasis on modest housing for first time buyers, low income families and seniors looking to downsize.

Pam Duesling, General Manager of Development Services at the County, says she believes that Bill 23 caps rent at no more than 80% of the provincial average market rent. In Brantford Brant County, that means the average studio or bachelor apartment, which rents at $1,116 a month, would be capped at $893 a month Duesling went on to state that she believes affordable housing is not achieved in the private sector, but through partnerships with municipalities, the province and the federal government

Councillor John Bell feels Bill 23 is democracy NOT at work “It’s taking away the ability of local councillors to reflect the wishes and concerns of the local community.”

Councillor Robert Chambers suggested rather than strongly opposing the Bill, County Council should respond by showing the province what can be done in our community and that message should be sent through Brant’s New Official Plan

“The way we can do that and the way we tried to do that before was through our Official Plan which was sent off to the province But since it was sent off to the province there has been legislative changes along the way. So, I think we should pull our Official Plan back and send a message through our Official Plan, what we want to do and what Brant County can do by addressing the housing crisis,” said Chambers “What are we going to do, let’s be constructive and send that message, not what we don’t like about Bill 23 ” After much discussion county staff concurred with Councillor Howes’ suggestions to send a message to the province to not only ask for more time to analyze Bill 23, but to request the province defer a clause by clause review of the Bill.

While the comment period for the main legislation is closed, the commenting period for the Greenbelt Plan and Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan amendments ends on December 4th . Last week approximately 20 rallies, called Greenbelt Day of Action, took place throughout Southern Ontario to protest the environmental impact Bill 23 will have on Greenbelt land.

That’s a Wrap on the 5th Anniversary Season!

Playful Fox Productions celebrates milestone with successful production of ‘Into the Woods’

By Casandra Turnbull

Playful Fox Productions is still riding the high from their most recent performance of Into the Woods The tribute to Tony Award Winning maestro Stephen Sondheim was a giant success last weekend, drawing crowds to all performances, which were 95% sold out. Every production ended with a standing ovation and that in itself was a picture perfect way for the theatre company to wrap up its 5th anniversary season.

“It was important for us to bring a season filled with fun, adventure and incredible stories as we were all coming out of the pandemic,” shared Marissa Wilson Fox, co founder of the company alongside her husband Malakai Fox. “I think we were all looking for forms of escapism and we wanted to be a source of entertainment that audiences could experience and forget the outside world for a while,” added Wilson Fox as she looked back at this special anniversary season. Of course, listening to what the audience wanted helped to shape the season into one for the books. “We listened to our audience via surveys, questionnaires and feedback after each show about what THEY wanted to see next and took each suggestion seriously. The result of which has been a very well received and attended 5th anniversary season.”

The cast of ‘Into the Woods’ acknowledges the crowd’s standing ovation following last weekend’s successful performances.

Other performances in 2022 included The Little Mermaid, A Salute to Disney on Broadway, Pirates of Penzance and The Hobbit

Playful Fox Productions was created soon after Marissa and Malakai were married. The duo talked about bringing musicals to Brantford/Brant County because they both realized while they were growing up there were very limited opportunities to be involved in large scale plays or musicals.

ENTERTAINMENT NEWS

Their debut performance was the musical Jesus Christ Superstar. Wilson Fox recalls their resources at that time were very limited, but they had a great group of people to help with the show and from that point on there was no looking back. In 2019 the company picked up momentum and produced two more shows, Disney’s The Little Mermaid and Peter Pan. It was around this time that they heard the Paris Presbyterian Church was planning to renovate their sanctuary and put in a stage.

“We had a meeting and we thought it was a great fit for our new home, especially as they were looking for a group to ‘test’ the new stage and tech equipment,” recalled Wilson Fox.

As Playful Fox Productions grew and started to settle in nicely in their new home, the pandemic sidelined their progress.

As the world started to slowly reopen post pandemic, Playful Fox Productions came out of the gate running. Their first big production in 2021 was Beauty and the Beast. The fairy tale performance also happens to hold a special place in Wilson Fox’s heart, quite literally! “Kai and I met during call backs for another production of that show, so being able to put on Beauty and the Beast as our first big show post Covid was truly magical.”

While Wilson Fox says each production holds its own charm, she also puts the Canadian premiere of Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express and Into the Woods at the top of her list of favourite productions so far

“Each show we continue to challenge ourselves to bring something new and different every time.”

As for the future, Marissa and Malakai would love to see Andrew Lloyd Webber finally release the license to The Phantom of the Opera and hope to see Les Miserable come back to licensing, but until then, and on a more realistic note, they are excited to expand their company to other cities, continue to grow partnerships and sponsorships and bring many more years of wonderful, magical moments for their audience. “The response from the community at large has overall been truly wonderful and we look forwarding to nurturing new and exciting partnerships with our performance based groups Our first five years gave us a good, solid foundation, and now we are ready to take off! We hope that a lot of people will join us on this journey.”

U15 Adkins Financial Team brings home GOLD!

What an impressive series of games from the Paris Wolfpack U15 Adkins Financial team in the Lefroy Icebreakers Tournament held in Innisfil, Ontario, November 25 27th.

Despite some close games, the team remained undefeated and landed a spot in the playoff game, which led to their 5 1 win in the championship game against the Osprey Hawks, team 1.

Paris players displayed commendable sportsmanship as they came together to support and encourage the substitute goalie from the U13 division, after their goalie unexpectedly became ill. Each player demonstrated a positive attitude, determination, and a passion for the game. Without a doubt, the event was full of competitive matches, family fun and lifelong memories.

Paris Wolfpack U18 Team 3 is the LaSalle Hometown Heroes Tournament winner!

Paris went a perfect 5 0 at the tournament held last weekend. Not only did the team go undefeated, they never trailed in any of the games and outscored their opponents 21 3 throughout the weekend.

During the first game Paris rallied for a 2 0 win over South Kent Lightning. Up next, the Wolfpack skated to two easy victories with an 8 1 win over Petrolia Oilers and 6 0 shutout win over Lambeth Lancers. In semi final action, Paris laid down a 4 2 victory against the Caledonia Thunder to earn a seat in the finals against the Applewood Coyotes. The Championship game provided some excellent back and forth battles and kept fans on the edge of their seats before Paris finally pulled off the 1 0 win in double overtime.

Carson Burr and Logan Vandewiel dominated in net and their combined effort resulted in the fewest goals allowed in the tournament. Congratulations team!

U8 Team 2 scores big win over Tillsonburg Tornadoes

It was a big win on Saturday, November 26th for the Paris U8 Team 2 against Tillsonburg. The Wolfpack played in front of a hometown crowd at the Brant Sports Complex Ollie Korslick opened the scoring for Paris. Cohen Wallis fired off some great shots in the first but had a tough time getting one past the Tillsonburg goalie. The first period wrapped up with a goal from Levi Blake, followed quickly with a slap shot marker from Austin Meza. In the second, Tillsonburg got on the score board, but Paris quickly recovered with a goal from #4, assisted by brothers Dawson and Blake Anderson. Paris ended the game with two more goals, one coming from Meza to record his second of the day. Layton Howells had some amazing saves in net, backed by some strong defensive plays in a hard fought match from both teams.

Ollie Korslick (above with the puck) scored Paris’ first goal of the game.

Mounties starting to compete against PJHL teams

After many weeks of games and practices, the light switch was turned on for the Mounties hockey team on how to compete in the PJHL. On November 19 at home against the Tavistock Braves, the Mounties played an exciting game that ended in a 4 4 tie after overtime. Ryan O’Keefe scored a goal in the first and the second, with Owen Switzer scoring early in the third, followed by a single marker from Bhrett Hibbert later that period

On November 25 in Norwich, the Merchants outscored the Mounties in a close 4 3 game What was common for the Paris Mounties in these two games, was an improvement defensively

allowing

Last Saturday’s game against the Woodstock Navy Vets provided hard hitting action, goals on both sides and drama. After a 3 3 tie in regulation time, the game went into seven minutes of dramatic three on three overtime play, with action that kept the fans on the edge of their seats. In the end, the Mounties took an overtime tie with many chances of breaking the tie. Kudos to Xavier Moura who scored a goal in the first and second period and to Kaidan Gignac who scored a power play goal to tie the score at three all.

Game stars go out to Xavier Moura with a two-point night and to Kaidan Gignac who had a three point night scoring one goal and assisting on Moura’s two goals. The Mounties normally play home games on Saturdays, however, this weekend the Paris Minor Hockey Association is hosting the Art Coombs Memorial Rep Tournament so the Mounties will play for a hometown crowd on Monday, December 5th , hosting the New Hamburg Firebirds.

How to help families in your community this holiday season

The Christmas season is in full swing. While you’re busy hanging the garland and putting up that Christmas tree, there are individuals in your community who are feeling the financial pinch and the holiday season just isn’t ringing the same merry bells for them. If you’d like to donate to a cause that directly impacts a family, child or senior in your community, check out some of these locally driven fundraisers.

PARIS COMMUNITY CHRISTMAS HAMPER PROGRAM

It’s all hands on deck with this program they don’t call it a community program for nothing. It started over 30 years ago in resident Marg Knill Wilson’s basement. It has grown considerably over the decades and long-time organizer Shirley Simons still marvels at the success of the program

The popular program is a community wide initiative with businesses, service clubs, sports organizations, schools and residents working hand in hand to make it successful. In 2020 the program distributed 165 hampers and 140 hampers in 2021.

Non perishable items and NEW TOYS may be dropped off at the Paris LCBO, County office, CIBC and the Cowan Community Health Hub. The Paris Firefighters will collect new toy donations during the Paris Santa Claus parade. The County of Brant OPP will also bring back their ‘Fill a Vehicle campaign by accepting food donations on December 3rd and 4th and December 10th and 11th at both grocery store locations in Paris.

A hamper full of all the fixings for a Christmas meal and toys for the children in the family will be distributed to families that made an application on Friday, December 16th

COMMUNITY DONATIONS

GWEN’S CHRISTMAS MAGIC

Each year Paris resident Dawn Sangster sets out to raise money in support of Gwen’s Christmas Magic for Seniors, in loving memory of her mother Gwen Ludwig The campaign raises enough funds to surprise every long term care resident at St. Joseph’s Lifecare with a Christmas gift bag. Sangster’s mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and was admitted to St. Joseph’s in Brantford.

“She (Gwen) would give to the Christmas Hampers each year and taught us how it is more important to give than to receive, so I thought what better way to keep her memory alive than by making people happy,” Sangster explained of how the idea developed

When St. Joseph’s is at full capacity it takes 205 gift bags to ensure everyone is included. The bags are filled with an ornament, a Norman Rockwell calendar, a nice body wash (a recommended item by staff at St. Joseph’s), a toothbrush, toothpaste, warm socks, a stuffy that looks like a real pet, a blanket,

ADOPTA GRANDPARENT

Susan Ritchie’s family started this program in 2013 and with the kind and ever expanding generosity of this community, they have sent out gifts to most of the local nursing homes and low income seniors apartments in Paris. A donation of $30 covers the expense of one gift and 100% of those funds go into the gift, covering the items wrapping paper and a card. Every year they try to do something different and try to find things that are useful and festive. Susan reports that recently they started getting wish lists sent to them so she shares those with volunteers so they can help Susan and her family with the shopping!

lip balm, handmade cards, all packaged in a gift bag decorated by students in Brant County schools To help keep costs down, Sangster buys in bulk, which has helped establish some great relationships with businesses and people in the surrounding community.

To learn more follow the social media page or you can donate by e-transfer to gwensxmasmagic@gmail.com

Adopt a Grandparent is a gift giving program for senior citizens who live in nursing homes, or independently, and who are maybe without family or feeling lonely While the first year consisted of 50 gifts, the program has grown to a whooping 280 gifts in 2021.

Online Voting open until Sunday, Oct. 23 at 6 pm

A lifetime Parisian, Ritchie is passionate about her community. Driven by the positive reaction from seniors and an overwhelming support from community members and local businesses alike, the Adopt a Grandparent program continues to grow and spread positivity to those who need it most.

The 12 Days of December Guide to surviving the holidays

Just for the Health of It

going to an event/party and you can be on plan for the other 27, then those four days are not going to matter in the long run.

#4 Use that stuffing to build muscle

Did you know that the average Canadian gains five to 10 pounds in DECEMBER alone?

So how can you stop this needless holiday weight gain? Here are 12 tips to help you not be a statistic this December:

#12 Step up your water game! Water will not only help keep you full and not overeat but will help flush out any extra food you do eat more quickly.

#11 Keep up that workout routine! You know you are going to eat more so don't exacerbate this by decreasing your workouts and walks too!

#10 Realize that it is only a few parties/events over a whole month so it shouldn't lead you to throw out all of December. If you logically realize that there may only be four days out of 31 where you will be

#9 Don’t go to your Christmas dinner hungry! Eat high protein and vegetables or fruit at your other meals but hold the added fats and carbs and you will save room for your dinner and not go to it hungry and then overeat!

#8 If you are going to have a cookie, make it right before your workout. The sugar in the cookie will give you a little bounce in that step and may make you move a little faster or lift a little heavier!

#7 Go for a walk after a big dinner. A big walk after a large meal will help you digest the extra food more quickly and won't give you that uncomfortable undo your belt feeling.

#6 Eat your food mindfully and slowly. If you eat it fast, you won't give your brain time to recognize that you are full. Eat slowly, enjoy family time and wait 20 min before having seconds.

#5 Have a small slice of cake, pie or one treat (size of your palm) so that you don't deny just portion size. BUT if you know one slice will lead to two, then you may want to say no altogether and bring your own dessert to eat that is lower in calories.

If you eat extra carbs at dinner, set up a great strength workout the next morning to push a little harder!

#3 Don’t make grandma track the macros on her sweet potato recipe! If you are tracking, just do your best at the dinner to make good choices and start tracking the very next day again.

#2 If you have the best plans but end up two wine bottles in or face deep in the apple pie, don't STRESS Just eat less the next day and life will go on! This will balance out your calorie intake over the two days.

#1 Relax and enjoy your Christmas. It literally only comes around once a year so have a great time with your loved ones and get right back on plan the next day.

Farm & Food Care Ontario celebrates agriculture excellence at Harvest Gala

Ashely Brown of Browndale Farm & Market in Paris recognized as Agri Food Champion

MEDIA RELEASE (Guelph) A capacity crowd of farmers and agribusiness leaders from across Ontario came together to enjoy an evening of fellowship and celebration last night at Farm & Food Care’s Ontario Harvest Gala.

As part of the agenda, Feed Ontario presented the recipient of the 2022 Paul Mistele Award to Beef Farmers of Ontario (BFO). Named for the late farm leader who founded Ontario Pork’s Donate A Hog program in 1998, the Paul Mistele Memorial Award recognizes agricultural partners who have shown a significant and enduring commitment to ending hunger in Ontario. The award was accepted by BFO president Jack Chaffe and Executive Director Richard Horne. BFO was chosen for their steadfast and longstanding commitment to the Feed Ontario Beef Program. Over the years, beef farmers in Ontario have been faced with increased costs, processing capacity backlogs, supply chain and market disruptions, and a great deal of uncertainty during the COVID 19 pandemic, yet continued to ensure families facing hunger throughout our province had access to nutritious food.

“The Beef Farmers of Ontario provided 52,000 servings of beef to Feed Ontario member food banks across Ontario this year and an incredible 750,000 servings since the program began in 2014,” says Feed Ontario’s executive director,

In celebration of its 10th anniversary year, Farm & Food Care Ontario invited its top level (Platinum) members to nominate Agri-Food Champions that represented excellence in their industry and in building consumer connections on behalf of food and farming Those recognized as Agri Food Champions included, left to right, Gary West, Donna Rogers, Melanie Dibble, Gordon Dibble and Ashley Brown (Absent: Amanda Dooney).

Carolyn Stewart. “As food banks continue to do their best to ensure there is sufficient, nutritious food to meet the growing need in our province, we could not do what we do without the support and generosity of our incredible partners like the Beef Farmers of Ontario ” “BFO is honoured to be named as the recipient of the Paul Mistele Award this year, and we would like to gratefully acknowledge the partnership we have established over the years with Feed

Ontario,” remarks Jack Chaffe, BFO President. “Unfortunately, now more than ever, Ontarians are struggling to absorb the increased cost of goods and services, including food. We continue to be committed to our beef program to supply food banks with ground beef, and finding ways in which we can help address food security to support our communities and those in need across the province ”

In celebration of its 10th anniversary year, Farm & Food Care Ontario invited its top level (Platinum) members to nominate Agri Food Champions that represented excellence in their industry and in building consumer connections on behalf of food and farming Those recognized as Agri Food Champions included:

Ashley Brown of Browndale Farm & Market in Paris, nominated by the Dairy Farmers of Ontario. Brown is being recognized for her work promoting local food through both social media and her family’s on farm market.

Gary West of Shakespeare was nominated by the Egg Farmers of Ontario. West started a program to end student hunger by providing peeled and packaged hard cooked eggs to schools starting with two schools in Perth County and expanding to over 150 schools in total across Waterloo, Huron, Perth and Oxford counties, donating about 1,000 eggs per week.

The Dibble Family of Dibhurst Farms in Ingersoll was nominated by Beef Farmers of Ontario. Gordon and Melanie Dibble were honoured for their commitment to responsible and sustainable beef production and their efforts towards consumer and public engagement work

Amanda Dooney of Suncrest Orchards near Simcoe was nominated by the Ontario Fruit and Vegetable Growers’ Association. Dooney was recognized for her willingness to host tours, participate in events highlighting the importance of Seasonal Agricultural Workers to her industry and answer the tough questions about agriculture that come her way.

Donna Rogers of Waterloo Region was nominated by Farm & Food Care Ontario. Rogers is recognized for her lifetime of dedication to the industry, both professionally and her volunteer work for FFCO and the Waterloo Rural Women organization. With

FFCO, she serves as a volunteer photographer, capturing thousands of images taken at events across the province.

Joining the sold out crowd was Ontario Minister of Agriculture, Food & Rural Affairs, Lisa Thompson and Parliamentary Assistant Trevor Jones, Member of Provincial Parliament for Chatham Kent Leamington. In addressing the crowd, Minister Thompson spoke about the important work Farm & Food Care does on behalf of Ontario’s entire agrifood industry.

“Whether it’s the farm tours for culinary students, the garden in a box program, or sharing stories of international agri food workers in Ontario, Farm and Food Care Ontario continues to be a champion at raising awareness and increasing public trust in our provincial food system”, said Minister Thompson “Please know I stand shoulder to shoulder with you, and I will keep working each day to grow our sector and demonstrate how Ontario’s agri-food sector leads by example worldwide.”

“This event was an opportunity for us to come together as the agriculture community in Ontario and celebrate some of the unsung heroes that make this industry exceptional,” stated FFCO Chair Bonnie den Haan “Making agriculture accessible to Ontarians and providing both information and entertainment to those who eat the food we make is a shared goal of the agriculture sector and we are so proud to do that through FFCO,” FFCO Executive Director Kelly Daynard said, “It was such a delight to all be together to celebrate this year. As FFCO’s tenth anniversary year comes to a close, it was wonderful to celebrate the contributions made to agriculture and our community at large.” All funds raised at the event will be put into future public trust initiatives.
