Be Part of the Moment: Join Us and Help Muskoka’s Got Talent Change Lives

I was chatting with a friend over coffee, and we got talking about why Muskoka’s Got Talent means so much to me – and to our community. It’s not just the incredible performances. It’s not just the excitement and cheers in the theatre. It’s that feeling you get when you experience a room full of people coming together to make our community a better place.


This Saturday at the Algonquin Theatre, our Top 10 Finalists take the stage. We’ll see friends and neighbours stepping onto that stage, doing something brave and joyful. More than that, every ticket helps our team at Community Living Huntsville assist people with developmental disabilities and families, who are either homeless or at risk of homelessness, to find and keep roofs over their heads in North Muskoka.


That’s the power of community. You can be a part of it.


Plus, there are new surprises this year:


  • Guest performers Paige Meunier, Zack Fitzsimmons, and duo Kyung-A Lee & Parres Allen
  • A live People's Choice vote, and
  • A secret judge hidden in the audience


I hope you have your tickets. If you don’t have them, I hope you get your last-minute tickets right now. You need to experience this feeling for yourself.


I’d love for you to join us.

Spotlight: Inclusive Education

 

National Inclusive Education Month: Why Words and Support Matter

National Inclusive Education Month in February is a time to celebrate, learn, and act to ensure every learner feels welcomed, respected, and supported. Inclusive education benefits everyone – it strengthens classrooms, builds understanding, and helps students with and without disabilities thrive together now and into the future.



This month, our organization is focusing on 2 simple but powerful themes:


• Words Matter

• Support Matters


Find out why – and how you can take action at school, at work, and in your community.

 

What's On

Celebrate Pink Shirt Day in February


In 2007, after a new student at their school was bullied for wearing a pink shirt, 2 Nova Scotia high school students who witnessed the scene bought 75 pink shirts and, through social media, the boys encouraged their classmates to wear pink. The next day, to their surprise, most students arrived wearing something pink! With that act of kindness, Pink Shirt Day was born.


What started as a small act of support quickly grew into a national – and now international – movement against bullying.


Pink Shirt Day raises awareness about the role we all play in preventing bullying and promoting kindness, respect, and inclusion – not only in our schools, but also in our workplaces and our communities too.


On February 25, we invite you to wear pink. Wearing pink is a simple way to show your commitment to creating a culture where everyone feels safe, valued, and supported. Small actions can make a big difference.


💗 Wear pink. Stand together. Make kindness visible.
