Baseball for Dad’s Knocking Stigma out of the Park Community Scavenger Hunt had to be postponed recently due to the current provincial lockdown from COVID-19. According to Baseball for Dad’s Louri Snider, this was done at the direction of Hastings Prince Edward Public Health. Snider hopes to reschedule the event for sometime later this summer or in the fall.
Baseball for Dad is a non-profit charity set up in honour of Mark Snider who tragically lost his battle with mental illness, taking his own life in 2019. It was set up in Mark’s honour by his mom Louri, to take the stigma away from mental illness. Since their inception, they’ve come up with a plethora of initiatives like placing baseball gloves around the world (as baseball was Mark’s favourite sport), the Buddy Bench program, their Kindness Moose program and their Moosing Around party rental business.

The recent $10 childcare promise laid out by the Federal Government will have a major impact on people who use North Hastings Children’s Services (NHCS) childcare.
Jessica Anderson, Executive Director with NHCS says the organization was very happy to hear the announcement, and it will support a lot of families. The main issue before was that subsidies didn’t support many working families with dual income, as the income needed to apply is very low. Anderson predicts two-thirds of families had to pay the full cost of their childcare services. That meant that someone with an infant and a preschooler would expect to pay $2,000 in childcare a month. As families would have to weigh the costs of staying home with the kids or paying the high price of childcare, many workers, mainly women, would be kept out of the workforce. Even though NHCS keeps child care costs as low as they can, they still can
