We need male mentors : Big Brothers campaign aims to recruit 50 men in 50 days

LONDON, ONT. Many Charity Organizations are struggling during the Covid-19 pandemic to keep services at normal levels. Without the ability to fundraise, and donations hurt by economic pressure on the community, the London & area chapter of Big Brothers/Big Sisters is focussing on getting more men especially to volunteer time as a Mentor. “The shortage of male volunteers is a national issue” says Janet Tufts the Executive Director of the Big Brothers and Big Sisters London & area. “We’re getting it down, it was 180 kids eight months ago. We just cracked the 100 mark. We’re at 99 kids on our wait list. But 80 per cent of those children are boys.”

Territorial red squirrels live longer when they re friendly with their neighbors

Credit: Erin Siracusa Though red squirrels are a solitary and territorial species, a 22-year study of these squirrels in the Yukon suggests that they have a higher chance of survival and a greater number of offspring when living near the same neighbors year after year. Surprisingly, the findings appearing December 17 in the journal Current Biology show that it didn t matter whether the squirrels neighbors were related to them; these fitness benefits instead depended on familiarity, or the length of time the same squirrels lived next to each other. These benefits were even more pronounced in older squirrels, whom the data suggested could sharply offset the effects of aging by maintaining all of their neighbors from one year to the next.
