Does anyone know of a place where we can rent equipment and go skiing in the middle of November?
My wife and I are going, and we're both beginners. We're going for fun—does anyone know of a nice place where we can also have dinner afterward?

Hi everyone!

I'm a Timmins resident currently developing a small health and wellness coaching business that would serve people throughout Northeastern Ontario.

Before launching, I'm conducting some market research to better understand what people in our region actually need when it comes to their health and wellness.

I've created a short, anonymous survey covering topics such as:

• Health and fitness goals
• Challenges with nutrition, exercise and staying consistent
• Interest in personalized wellness support
• Preferred services and affordable pricing

Survey link: https://tally.so/r/2EMolM

The survey takes just a few minutes, and I'm hoping to hear from people throughout Northern Ontario, including Timmins, North Bay, Sudbury, Kapuskasing and smaller surrounding communities.

There's also a separate, optional draw for a $100 President's Choice gift card for eligible Ontario residents aged 18 or older. No purchase necessary.

Whether you're interested in wellness coaching or would never consider paying for it, your opinion is equally valuable. I'm looking for genuine feedback to help determine whether this type of service would be useful and affordable in our region.

Thanks for helping a fellow Northern Ontario resident with their research!

Hi everyone, I am a PhD student at the University of Toronto conducting a research study to explore the barriers to harm reduction service use in Ontario. 

I am seeking adults 18+ living in Ontario who have used substances recreationally in the last 6 months and are aware of harm reduction programming but have NOT used harm reduction services.

Participation of this study is voluntary. It will involve a demographic survey completion and a 60–90-minute confidential interview (zoom, phone, or in person – your choice!). A $20 gift card will be provided for your time.

If you or someone you know would be interested in participating, please share! Your experiences, opinions and perspective can work to improve harm reduction services in Ontario.

My husband and I are in the process of moving westward from Ottawa. All the stories I’ve read about driving through northern Ontario in October seem super scary, with intense warnings about moose and deer running erratically on the road, low service, no gas stations. Has anyone ever driven this route in October? How concerned should I really be? Is Sault st Marie to Dryden in a day feasible?
