On May 1, it s time to celebrate International Bodysurfing Day (IBSD).
After all, the art of riding waves without a buoyant watercraft dates as far back as 2,000 B.C. and predates board riding.
The initiative was soft-launched in 2020 by John P. Murphy, an American writer and teacher who lives in Puerto Escondido, Mexico.
Murphy had already started Los Cabrones, an open bodysurf club that promotes the sport via weekly get-togethers and free water safety clinics.
One day, he decided to create a local competition with a sustainable model of beach community growth that could expand the tourist season and fill in the calendar year.

February 22, 2021 is National Human Trafficking Awareness Day in Canada. This day is meant to bring into focus the devastation that human trafficking imposes on its victims and the people who love them; to raise awareness, and to give those agencies who can help the support they need.
The Region of Peel has Anti-Human Trafficking Service provider table, representing 40 agencies.
There are so many levels to being saved from this crime that a victim could enter or exit this situation through a variety of organizations, the police, Caledon/Dufferin Victim Services and many more.
A Caledon Councillor told the Citizen, “Often the victims don’t even realize the extent to which they are being involved.”
