    First on Scene

    by Irene, over 2 years ago

    Good Day,

    It's Wednesday, March 30th at around 10:15 am and I just heard a horrific car accident outside my door. I live on Dundas Street West at the high collision intersection at Duffering/Dundas. There was a white Quinte West van with 2 young men who immediately and professionally took control of the scene. There were many people milling about so I didn't go outside but I wish I had to give these two young men a salute and thank them for their amazing work. I watched them the whole time as they took control of traffic and kept people... Continue reading

    Bev is the Founder and President of a local non-profit charity, Gift from the Heart. She has just acquired an ambulance that she refitted to provide Free dental hygiene services to our residents that are not able to afford or access these services.

    Duncan Armstrong and community sewists

    by Penelopej, over 3 years ago
    Duncan and his group of Sewists have gone well above and beyond the call of duty for the community during COVID. He has coordinated deliveries, kept spirits up and created a positive atmosphere in the community during these trying times.

    Life Saver

    by Bucket, almost 4 years ago

    On behalf of our mother, Jean Ogden, words can’t express our deepest thanks to our nominee’s.

    On March 4th, our mom’s neighbour, Ava Patterson, along with her boyfriend Nolan Price were leaving to go to work when this very fortunate faith came into play. Having to come to the north side of Nolan’s vehicle, Ava had to pass by our mother’s front porch where she happened to spy Jean lying on the ground. Their swift actions resulted with an arrival to TMH emergency department, narrowly bringing her back from hyperthermia. Our mom had suffered a stroke and given different luck... Continue reading

    A great group

    by bubbieone, almost 4 years ago
    During the hectic past year, when there was a need for everything, Duncan Armstrong organized both a nightly make noise group, and a group of women, who were sewing at a mad pace, to supply hospitals and nursing homes with masks and surgical caps. When the almost everyone had their own masks and the desperate need was no longer there, this group continued to sew to donate a huge amount to the hospital. Duncan was always on the road, picking up fabric, dropping off fabric and masks, making sure everyone had exactly what they needed to keep going. He is... Continue reading

    Duncan Armstrong

    by Ilovechinny3, almost 4 years ago
    Duncan Armstrong is your man. He’s not only helping health care workers. He is sitting in a tent on a cold night. Making money and collecting food for those on the street. He is so busy delivering goodys to health care places, as well as old age homes. He never for gets any one. He still finds time for friends as well. If there was more in this world like him it would be a better world.
