Thunder Bay – WEATHER – Welcome to Monday, Victoria Day, and some clouds and potential for precipitation.
As the provincial lockdown and stay-at-home order continues, it isn’t going to feel like a real holiday for many people.
Across the region you can almost sense the frustration. If you venture into downtown you can see despair as homeless people, especially on Long Weekends have very few options.
If there were one thing in the forecast that we could all look for, it might be to look at our communities with an eye to change. Real change.
Cory Booker, a United States Senator and former Mayor said, “Let it be today! Don’t hold back or wait for tomorrow. Let it be today! Conquer complacency. Vanquish doubt. Rise – unabashed and unafraid. Today! Stand – with invincible will and indomitable spirit. Today! Go – with daring conviction and with the freedom found only in fearlessness. Today! Speak – with audacious authenticity. Tell the world your most courageous truth. Today! Let it be Today!”
Try that on for size today. It beats the heck out of the other options out there.
Remember, you can do this! “You’re beautiful”.
Today is the National Day of First Nations Fishing Rights, a day to celebrate the inherent and Treaty-protected rights of our Indigenous peoples.
