To call the house at 494 College Ave. anything other than a castle would seem wrong, so we’ll call it the Castle. It’s three storeys tall but seems taller, 115 years old but seems older, and it is right smack in the middle of a neighbourhood, right in the middle of a city, where its turreted existence inspires confusion, bewilderment and a touch of awe. It’s a place both out of time and out of place, but somehow, it feels like it’s exactly where it belongs.

Though the theatre company Shakespeare in the Ruins stages its plays outside at the Trappist Monastery Provincial Heritage Park, it will not be hosting a live audience this season because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Though the theatre company Shakespeare in the Ruins stages its plays outside at the Trappist Monastery Provincial Heritage Park, it will not be hosting a live audience this season because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
That is not to say the ruins of the monastery will be silent. The company will film its intended 2020 production,
The Winter’s Tale, in the ruins in the coming weeks, and offer it for streaming at home this summer.
Soothing noises of nature can amplify well-being

Doris Koop, executive director of the Vision Impaired Resource Network, enjoys the smell of pine trees and the natural sounds in Vimy Ridge Park during her lunch hour recently. Research in a growing scientific field called ecotherapy has shown a strong correlation between time spent in nature and reduced anxiety and depression.
It’s no secret that being in nature is good for you. Walking in a park boosts your well-being, sunlight can put an extra spring in your step and being near water can be ever-so-calming.

Everyone deserves to feel as good in their clothes, no matter how their body is shaped. That’s a message Winnipeg designer Andréanne Dandeneau, owner of Anne Mulaire, said she hoped to convey when she launched inclusive sizes, from extra-small to 6X, for all her clothing lines this week.

It started with a pain in her ribs.
On the morning of Monday, Dec. 7, Katie, 33, got up, worked out and went to work. But later in the day, when she sat down to do some sewing, she felt the pain on her right side, just beneath her sternum. After she went to bed, the pain got progressively worse.
She thought she might have dislocated a rib. She did not think she had COVID-19. I didn’t have any other symptoms; I could still taste and smell, Katie, who asked to be identified just by her first name, said via Zoom in early April. I didn’t have a fever, I wasn’t coughing. But what I did still have was that rib pain. And because the pain was so severe by this point, it actually made it difficult for me to take a deep breath. So based on that lone symptom, I decided that I should go get tested.
