The Ontario government is investing $750,000 to help communities across the province become more inclusive and accessible for people of all ages and abilities. Applications for the 2023-24 round of Inclusive Community Grants opened today. These grants provide municipalities, non-profit organizations, and Indigenous communities with up to $60,000 for local projects that will help older residents and people with disabilities participate in community life. This year, Ontario is prioritizing projects focused on improving opportunities for community engagement and those that support older adults to age and live at home with access to care.

Jeff Durston is a graphic designer by trade and has turned his creative background into a side gig that helps other businesses stand out. @jackpinewoodworks in Southwest Oxford Township offers customized branding and marketing solutions on wood and other products. “I wasn’t always into woodworking, but I would say I have always been a creative person and I would use whatever medium fit the space at the time. It did start out as a hobby business with some small wood-burning to CNC (Computerized Numerical Control) projects which lead me to continually upscaling my machines to provide different services,” he says. Jeff originally went to school to learn graphic design and worked professionally in the field for about five years, but something just didn’t seem right. “I didn’t like working in an office space so I ended up changing career paths and am now a millwright. Slightly different jobs but I guess they entail the same problem-solving skills.” He says what started out as a small wood-burning hobby turned into more including laser engraving.
