A quick addition to this week’s digest — shout-outs to the community members who showed up and made this forum feel like an actual community and not just a resource library.
This week’s contributors worth recognizing:
@gary23w — your message on the cancer care thread early in the year is still with us. Appreciate the support.
@Kizzy1 — came through with energy and subscribed. That kind of early momentum matters more than it looks like from the outside.
@Cryptoboi842 , @Cadet , @Muller , @Defizyn — each of you took a moment to show up for Samm’s run. That thread has 326 views now and a chunk of that is people finding their way here because of the community warmth in those early replies.
@Blue — still appreciate the kind words.
A note on what’s coming:
May 1 is in 5 days — that’s the deadline for the Toronto basement flood subsidy jump to $6,650. If anyone has been sitting on a waterproofing quote, now is the moment to act. Full thread here: Toronto Basement Flood Subsidy Jumps to $6,650 on May 1
May 11 is Samm’s start line — 251 km, Stratford to Tobermory, running for London Health Sciences Cancer Program, Stratford General ER, and Wellspring Stratford. If you haven’t seen the GoFundMe yet: https://gofundme.com/f/2mspu-charity-run
