There are no regrets from Timmins-James Bay Liberal candidate Leonard Rickard on his decision to run in the provincial election.
“It’s probably one of the most humbling and inspiring things I’ve ever done,” the Moose Cree First Nation member said. “I’ve met so many interesting people, learned so much about our riding and communities, and really made me realize how fortunate I am for being able to go out and meet people, who I didn’t know five to six weeks ago, who came out to support me.”

During the month of November, K-Net along with the University of New Brunswick (UNB), will be conducting a survey of community connectivity in northwestern Ontario.
“The survey will help us identify community needs to improve connectivity services,” said K-Net Coordinator Brian Beaton in a press release.
The partnership said it hopes the information gathered will help identify the broadband and connectivity needs of community residents.

For months, Fort Albany resident Brent Edwards was looking forward to the 2011-12 NHL season to begin Oct. 6.
The reason: he was going to see the Toronto Maple Leafs season opener against their historic rival, the Montreal Canadiens.
“I was really anxious, and the days seemed long,” Edwards said of the wait.
“I’ve been a Leaf since forever, well since Wendel Clark got drafted in ’85,” he said. “Even in the dark days,” he said, referring the team’s losing record in the 1980s and early 1990s. Then the team advanced to the Western Conference finals in the 1993 playoffs.
