SUMMARY:Seniors Holiday Kitchen Party/Potluck Dinner
DESCRIPTION:Photo: Adam Coish Photography \nWhen: Saturday\, November 30\, 2024 – 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM \nWhere: Blackburn Community Hall\, 190 Glen Park Drive \nCalling all Blackburn Seniors! Our Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) Holiday Potluck Dinner/Kitchen Party is fast approaching! Bring a favourite shareable dish (appetizer\, salad\, main or dessert) and join us for a potluck dinner and evening of music\, fun and laughter. Doors open at 5:00 pm and dinner will begin at 5:30 pm. \nThe community hall kitchen is equipped with an oven\, a microwave\, a fridge and kettles. Cutlery\, napkins\, plates and non-alcoholic beverages will be provided. Please bring your own serving utensils and\, if you wish\, a copy of your recipe…just in case people ask you for it. \nWe are thrilled that local duo Mason`s Apron will be providing the musical entertainment for the evening. If the mood hits you\, feel free to sing along or get up and show off your dance moves. \nNo NL holiday gathering would be complete without a visit from a few “mummers”. In NL\, the “mummering” Christmas-time tradition usually involves a group of friends who disguise themselves and visit neighbours. If welcomed into a house\, the mummers might do a quick performance or tell a joke. The hosts then try to guess the identities of their visitors. Once identified\, the mummers remove their disguises and enjoy some time with the hosts before moving on to another location. \nSo\, in the true NL holiday spirit\, we are inviting those who wish to do so to don their best mummer`s outfit. We promise that we will not ask you to perform! However\, a prize will be awarded for the best mummer`s costume! \nTo help us prepare for the event\, please confirm your attendance by phoning Shirley at 613-841-7691\, sending an email to seniors@blackburnhamlet.ca\, or adding a note to the Comments section of the Facebook post for the event. \nLooking forward to celebrating with you! \nFor more information on any of the BCA seniors activities\, visit the BCA Website and Facebook page and watch for posters around the community. Questions? Please email seniors@blackburnhamlet.ca.

SUMMARY:Discovery Café (Free event)
DESCRIPTION:First Crossing: Alexander Mackenzie`s fascinating crossing of North America — Richard Van Loon – Free Lecture \nWhen: Thursday\, October 24\, 2024 at 7:00 PM \nWhere: Blackburn Community Hall\, 190 Glen Park Drive \nAdmission is free\, refreshments will be served and people of all ages are invited to attend. \nAlex Mackenzie from Canada by land 22d July 1793 — Those simple words painted on a rock at the head of the North Bentinck Arm near Bella Coola BC mark the culmination of the first complete crossing of North America\, a voyage by one of Canada’s most famous trader/explorers\, Alexander Mackenzie. Mackenzie’s odyssey was indeed amazing but it would not have been possible without the support of several First Nations and a hardy group of traders who preceded his travels to the northwest. We will meet many of them\, and his dog\, as Mackenzie makes a perilous way west. Hang on. It’s a tough trip. \nRichard Van Loon was President and Professor Emeritus of Carleton University which he led from 1995 to 2005. He then returned teaching there in the School of Public Policy and Administration until 2015. He was a professor of political science and public administration at Queen`s\, University of Ottawa and Carleton\, intermingled with a career in the public service\, ending as Associate Deputy Minister of both Health Canada and Indian and Northern Affairs. \nThis talk and others on early Canadian history result from an ongoing interest rekindled after he left the presidency of Carleton in 2005. \nQuestions? Please email barbara@blackburnhamlet.ca.

SUMMARY:Neighbourwoods
DESCRIPTION:What is Neighbourwoods? The city has very limited information about trees on private property. The purpose of Neighbourwoods is to gather information such as the type\, size\, and health of trees on private property\, as well as in some of our parks to help us plan better diversity in our tree canopy. Volunteers receive free training from forestry professionals to learn how to identify\, measure and assess the health of trees. \nThe Blackburn Neighbourwoods Program is launching its 3rd season. Volunteers will be trained to take inventory of the trees on private property in Blackburn Hamlet. Our next training session with Dr. Andrew Kenny will be May 25 and 26 at the Blackburn Community Centre from 9am to 4pm. \nEveryone is welcome\, even if you can only attend a portion of the training. Bring your lunch and dress for the weather as most of the training is outdoors. \nTo register or for more information about this program please contact Clifton Charie at treeinventory@blackburnhamlet.ca.

SUMMARY:Discovery Café (Free event)
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Paul Villeneuve: Breathing Life into Cities: The Importance of Greenness and Walkable Neighbourhoods \nWhen: Thursday\, May 23\, 2024\, at 7:00 PM \nWhere: Blackburn Hamlet Community Centre\, 190 Glen Park Drive \nThe design of cities plays an important role in the health of its residents.  Walkable neighbourhood and access to green spaces has been shown to have direct and indirect health benefits.  Some of these benefits include improved mental health\, healthier babies\, and reduced risks of several diseases. Nature also plays an important role in exposure to air pollution\, noise\, and the effects of urban heat island. Dr. Villeneuve will discuss these topics while drawing on some research he has led\, including Ottawa-based assessments of associations between greenness and physical activity\, environmental exposures studies in and around the Central Experimental Farm\, and the benefits of access to parks during the COVID-pandemic. \nDr. Paul Villeneuve is an environmental and occupational epidemiologist\, and received his PhD in epidemiology from the University of Toronto. He is currently a Professor in the Department of Neuroscience at Carleton University. Before joining Carleton\, he was a Senior Research Scientist in the Healthy Environment and Consumer Safety Bureau at Health Canada. His research activities have focused on estimating the impacts of a number of environmental and occupational exposures on human health such as: air pollution\, diesel\, radon\, electromagnetic fields\, cigarettes\, radiation\, and features of the built environment (greenness\, noise\, and walkability). He has led many record linkage studies where occupational or survey data have been linked to national or provincial administrative health data and is currently investigating health effects among Canadian workers exposed to ionizing radiation. He also serves on the editorial boards of the Canadian Journal of Public Health\, and Health Promotion and Chronic Disease Prevention\, and is chairing WHO’s Technical Advisory Group on the Occupational Burden of Disease Estimation. \nAdmission is free and no registration is required. Refreshments will be served. \nPeople of all ages are welcome. \nLooking forward to seeing you! \nQuestions? Please email barbara@blackburnhamlet.ca
