A couple in Peterborough, Ont., created a chalk mural with their daughter to talk about the discovery of remains at a former residential school in Kamloops, B.C., and to honour the children.
Psychiatrist Tami Benton was recently called to the emergency department about a child whose family had concerns about the girl’s suicidal threats to run into traffic and end her life.

Alaskans love to fish! Already, trips to favorite fishing places are being planned, and dreams of big catches dreamed.
So, imagine standing on the shore of your favorite river when suddenly you see a person being swept downstream, thrashing to keep their head above water. We would, in an instant, make every effort to rescue that person and get them on solid, safe ground.
Let me connect this drowning person to problems our community experiences: crime, homelessness and Alaska s poor reading scores.
Every day, people around us being swept down a torrential river of personal trauma. These are people of all ages, but for this discussion, I want to focus on kids - kids who are careening down a river of multiple sources of stress and trauma.
