Weekend

LitFest is held annually to celebrate the literature and writers of Northwestern Ontario, and had its second annual book fair on Saturday.

Susan Baldassi, coordinator of the expo, said it is the biggest event of its kind in Canada.

Shirley Stevens says Indigenous women made beautiful ways to keep their children close and show their importance.

About 40 students between Grades 8 and 12 from four local schools attended the career fair.

The Alzheimer's Society of Thunder Bay's walk is set for May 24.

The walk is inspired by Flora Babakhani, a Toronto mom who tragically lost her life to suicide, because of undetected and untreated perinatal psychosis.

Awards were presented in three categories: youth awards, Good Citizen Awards and Spirit of Thunder Bay awards.

“I wanted to give an opportunity to share very candid personal stories that people might not hear otherwise,” said photographer and book creator.

December rains and late snow cover didn't do the courses any favours this past winter.

The Crossroads Centre and withdrawal management services essentially swapped places.
