Story re: closure of supervised consumption sites Hi there! I'm a journalist doing a story on the closure of Toronto's supervised consumption sites. I'm particularly interested in how the closures have affected the city's West end since Parkdale Queen West Community Health Centre's (PQWCHC) Queen West branch was forced to close last November. I'm looking to speak with anyone who's had experience with the sites. Whether you have a loved one who's used them or have benefitted from them firsthand, I'd love to hear from you. Message me if you'd like to chat and we can set something up:)
Nathan’s Toronto days? Hi there: I’m a writer with Toronto Life magazine working on a story about the Toronto comedy scene in the early-to-mid-2000s (2004-2007ish), when Nathan Fielder was moving and shaking in it. If anyone was around and has stories from that scene, or remembers seeing Nathan perform, I’d love to chat with you! Feel free to DM me on here.
Story call-out: food insecurity & students Hi everyone! I'm writing about food insecurity on campus for the Eyeopener. TMU'S Good Food Centre has released its annual report on hunger on campus and found that just under 50% of students have experienced food insecurity in the past year: "Students described regularly worrying about running out of food, skipping meals, eating less nutritious food and, in some cases, going an entire day without eating because they could not afford food." What do you think about that stat? How can campus resources do a better job of supporting students in times of financial hardship? If this is something you'd like to speak about, shoot me an email ([email redacted]). Thanks :)

SOURCE REQUEST: I'm writing a magazine story about older entrepreneurs. I'm interested in exploring why some Atlantic Canadians who might otherwise be planning for retirement (or retiring!) are building businesses instead. Research on this group of entrepreneurs is pretty scant in Canada, so personal stories will go a long way in helping illustrate the benefits and challenges of entrepreneurship over 50. I'm looking to feature a few business owners/founders who meet the following criteria. Please read carefully: 💸 They are 50+ years old 💸 They live in Atlantic Canada (Not just Halifax either!) 💸 They've founded a small/medium enterprise (SME) or startup company at the age of 50+ 💸 For SME founders: An ideal company for this story has been operational for at least one or two years, has demonstrated revenue growth and hired staff beyond the founder. 💸 For startup founders: An ideal startup for this story is seed stage or later. It should have interest from outside investors and/or incubators. If you might be a fit for this story, please send a connection request or DM. Or you can feel free to email me. I'm hoping to start interviews next week. Thanks in advance for sharing with your networks!
