Many thanks to the youth and leaders from BGC Preston who took time on Wednesday to visit us in Halifax for a Career Connections discussion with a group of MC volunteers - lawyers, paralegals, an articled clerk and an HR professional. We appreciate your curiosity and clever questions.

Thanks also to the exceptional chefs (youth and leaders) from BGC's culinary social enterprise, , for bringing a delicious lunch or meatballs, chickpea curry and spiced rice.

Good food; great conversation; meaningful connections - what a way to kick of another school year!

Thanks so much to the residents and staff at Loch Lomond Villa Foundation for engaging our members to help at Wednesday BBQs this summer, the last of which was celebrated yesterday with another eager crew of MC helpers. Meeting residents and seeing them dine, dance and delight in community was such an uplifting experience. We’re grateful to have been involved.

What a fine day to "build" community at the Habitat for Habitat for Humanity Newfoundland & Labrador construction site in Mount Pearl. Our volunteers had a super rewarding time working on the back deck - an important feature for the family that will soon move in and enjoy such comforts of their new affordable home. Kudos to our crew and thanks to our construction instructor from H4HNL.

With climate change on everybody's mind this summer, our volunteers in Saint John wanted to do their part by organizing a shore cleanup at Black Beach in advance of the official happening across NB on Aug. 29, led by our good friends at the The Nature Trust of New Brunswick.

Together, our volunteers collected multiple large bags of refuse, including pet waste bags, bits of rope and plastic strapping, Styrofoam, glass bottles, and the ever present cigarette butts and lobster bands.

Thank you to our crew and to local residents who help steward the beach all year round.

Our sous chefs in St. John's were thrilled to return to The Gathering Place to help prep and serve another MC-sponsored breakfast.

We are ever humbled by TGP's commitment to shelter up to 90 people a night, feed more than 300 people a day, coordinate 400 case manager visits a month, and enable more than 10,000 loads of laundry a year.

Thank you for allowing us to contribute and for engaging our volunteers.

We are so of our volunteers who donated blood in today. We are also to Canadian Blood Services for always underscoring the importance if this service, and highlighting the constant need for more donors. I hope our regular donors will inspire others, because .

Blood supply decreased nearly 20% since June. Why? Donation routines slip during the summer — but the need for blood doesn’t take a summer vacation.

But there’s good news: you have what it takes to change this. No matter what your blood type is, we need more of you. So book a spot, bring a friend and spread the word.

A strong, healthy Canada depends on Canadians showing up for one another. Ready to fuel Canada’s supply? Donate now.
