This hand painted triptych features golden leaves set on a beautiful deep blue background and covered in a high gloss finish. The gold leaves are hand molded and attached to the canvas for a three dimensional look. Foliage in Gold is mounted on a white mat and finished with a matching gold frame.This high impact piece would make a stunning addition to any room. Each of the three pieces is 16" (w) x 30" (h).

This is the perfect lightweight blanket for your baby.  Soft and airy, this blanket is ideal for the warmer months of the year, or when you just want a lighter blanket. Its generous sizing will take your children through their baby and toddler years (and beyond) and it will only get softer with age. It’s big enough to wrap your newborn baby in, to throw over a stroller bassinet or car seat, and to work as a nursing cover.  And it’s absolutely gorgeous, so you won’t mind wearing it over your baby carrier or traveling with it like a shawl.  100% cotton, this single layer blanket is Japanese double gauze for lovely drape and breathability. The blanket is bound with a shimmering satin stitch. Dimensions: 36in x 42in, although each blanket is one-of-a-kind and cut around the design, so there will be slight variants in sizing  Recommended care: warm wash, tumble dry.

The Chess Institute of Canada (CIC) offers one-day P.A. Day tournaments for children from SK to Grade 8 of all skill levels, from beginners right through to the most advanced.  Tournament days are determined by the dates of the Ontario-wide public school professional development days.

Children are divided into playing sections based on skill level, and the events are overseen by trained CIC instructors who make sure the day is engaging and fun.  These tournaments are rated by the Chess Federation of Canada (CFC), and are a fun and productive alternative to simple day care.

For upcoming tournament dates, please check out our calendar of events, at right. Click on an event name to find out more about it.

Register or Log In to book a space for an upcoming tournament now!

Typically, our tournaments run for a full day and include a variety of exciting activities and bonus features, including:

• Individual, rated play (all games CFC rated)
• Team activities – five-person teams randomly chosen by computer, to help kids meet and socialize
• Healthy nut-free snacks all day, and where specified, a pizza lunch included in the price
• Fully supervised outside play after lunch (weather permitting)
• Logic-based chess riddles and other mind-bending challenges during breaks
• Trophies and ribbons

An awards ceremony at the end of the day gives every child the chance to have their accomplishments acknowledged by their peers.

https://www.chessinstitute.ca/events/paday-tournaments/

It is not surprising that Chess Institute of Canada (CIC) chess clubs are often among the most popular clubs in a school.  Using a specially devised curriculum that focuses on developing chess skills with a life skills component, our instructors create a fun and stimulating learning environment for elementary school children (Kindergarten to Grade 8).

If your child’s school runs a CIC chess club and you want to register your child for the classes, please use the one-time registration or login links at right. If you are not sure whether your child’s school runs a CIC chess club, please contact us.

Children are divided into groups by skill level, rather than by age and advance to new levels at their own pace when the instructor feels that they are ready for more challenging lessons and game-play.

One goal of these clubs can be to develop Primary (Kindergarten to Grade 3) and Junior (Grades 4 to 6) teams to represent the school at board-wide and other tournaments. In fact, many chess teams under our tutelage have either won the Toronto city championships or have come close in past years.

Clubs can be run either during lunch or after school. Lunch clubs are 45 minutes in length, where children are given some time to eat beforehand. After-school programs are 1 hour in length and begin 15 minutes after school dismissal, allowing children time to enjoy a snack.

The curriculum we use provides a solid foundation in chess for all levels, from beginners to competitive players, but still uses the game as a vehicle through which to teach and instill important life skills.

Each group receives instruction, which builds from lesson to lesson in a structured, engaging, and entertaining way, with game playing, tournaments and other chess challenges to round out the picture. During the play component, the instructor moves around the class, providing assistance, ideas, correction and support, as children play with peers who are at the same level as them. The learning is accompanied by appealing and dynamic Chess World curriculum workbooks and worksheets, which provide an added value to every child’s experience.

These clubs are fully administered by the CIC, including collection of registration and payment from parents, production of attendance lists and provision of all materials for children.

School chess clubs run by the CIC are paid for by individual families and therefore consist of children who are interested in the game and have family support. We believe that no child should be excluded on account of an inability to pay. Schools are encouraged to discuss these situations with the CIC so that we can find a way to accommodate every child with an interest in joining the chess club.

Most schools offer both curriculum chess classes and extra-curricular chess clubs. While the curriculum class is a mandatory program delivered within regular class time, it seldom reaches students in every grade. An extra-curricular club ensures that chess lessons are available to any child desiring them.

Little Fingers Music is a collective of musicians and educators.

Our primary goal is to teach music and songs through 1 on 1 lessons and classes.  We are also a touring group and we have been putting on interactive music concerts throughout Ontario for 15 years.  The show has slowly morphed into an Interactive Musical called ROCKgarden Party! (hence the name of the website).  This environmental tale is also the basis of a series of drama/music workshops in which children  learn about music, acting and the environment.  

These workshops have been taught in Toronto and the Haliburton School of the Arts and were recently approved by the York Region District School Board. We are currently seeking funding (Ontario Arts Council, Crowdfunding, etc., ) to sponsor a project with which children watch adults perform the play and then workshop their own version of the story which they perform publicly for their peers, friends and families.

From the riches of the sea, to the fruits of the amazon, to the tubers and grains from the fertile valleys of the Andes.

With real spring finally upon us (not that false, freeze, burn, freeze, burn, ugh), you can finally get your bike out of the shed.  (Likewise, if you’ve been slogging it through the knee thigh high snowbanks and ankle deep slush for the past six months, you have my utmost respect and awe, but you should still have your bike looked at).  Either way, before you go pedalling away into this lush green world, best make sure your bike is in good working order. Dust off the cob webs (or scrape off the salt) and wheel it over to Bicycles @ St Clair to be oiled, filled and checked.

DateNight has a roster of local babysitters looking for great families to work for. Many are University of Toronto, Ryerson and George Brown students. Some are even ECE (Early Childhood Education) students. Some are high school students. Some are Nannies. Some have been babysitting for 7+ years. Some are swimming instructors. Some have spent many summers as camp counsellors. Some have many younger siblings.

When you register with DateNight — you see a list of babysitters in your area and you invite the ones that you think are most suitable for Interviews at your house or via Skype.  Interviews are opportunities for parents and babysitters to meet and assess each other.

 At the 30 minute interview, you and the babysitter are interviewing each other at your house or via Skype.  You are not obliged to hire them — and they are not obliged to work for you.  The goal of the interview is to establish mutual trust between both parties — as employer and employee. The babysitter’s parents may request to attend the interview.  DateNight is fully in support of this — and actually thinks that it is a worthwhile practice.  We’re trying to build community connections here — the more people you know, the better.

 All babysitters on DateNight’s roster have been through an initial screening, but it’s up to parents to follow up with their references and check any of the credentials that they deem to be important. After all — you’re the best judge of who is a best fit to look after your family.

After the interview, DateNight will follow-up with both parties.  If you both approve of the match — great!  You become a client-family for that particular babysitter.  Babysitters can have 3-6 client-families.  The amount of client-families a babysitter can have is dependant on the type of membership they subscribe to.  If either party doesn’t approve of the match — no problem.  We will happily set each of you up with other client-families/babysitters to repeat the interview process.

At this point, you can Download the DateNight App to and get started booking DateNights! Or daytime babysitting. Whatever you need.

I have completed the Post Graduate Program of Training and Supervision in Gestalt Psychotherapy as well as the Advanced Gestalt Leadership Program at the Gestalt Institute of Toronto.  Throughout this training program I have done intensive hours of personal development, working with groups and individuals.  In order to help and support my clients in their personal growth I also continue to educate and challenge myself through further training in Gestalt as well as other schools and approaches to psychotherapy such as Mindfulness and Emotional Focus Therapy. I find these modalities complementary to the Gestalt approach and ongoing training essential to a dynamic therapy experience. I  would also like to emphasize the importance of the personal development component of my training, which I believe has enabled me to appreciate each clients’ process and challenges.  I work with both individuals and couples in my private practice, and am committed to building a client-therapist relationship on a strong foundation of inclusion, trust, challenge and support.

I have completed the Post Graduate Program of Training and Supervision in Gestalt Psychotherapy as well as the Advanced Gestalt Leadership Program at the Gestalt Institute of Toronto.  Throughout this training program I have done intensive hours of personal development, working with groups and individuals.  In order to help and support my clients in their personal growth I also continue to educate and challenge myself through further training in Gestalt as well as other schools and approaches to psychotherapy such as Mindfulness and Emotional Focus Therapy. I find these modalities complementary to the Gestalt approach and ongoing training essential to a dynamic therapy experience. I  would also like to emphasize the importance of the personal development component of my training, which I believe has enabled me to appreciate each clients’ process and challenges.  I work with both individuals and couples in my private practice, and am committed to building a client-therapist relationship on a strong foundation of inclusion, trust, challenge and support. 

I am a member of the Ontario Association of Consultants, Counsellors, Psychometrists and Psychotherapists (OACCPP) and Canadian Association of Psycho-dynamic Therapy (CAPT) and I abide by their Code of Ethics.

I love taking pictures. I love sharing stories. My first camera was a bat mitzvah gift from my aunt and uncle. It was an Olympus with a long zoom and a remote control.  It was magical. I was a yearbook photographer in high school and took pictures for the student newspaper in University. Then I jumped into the amazing world of television, producing for Canada AM, CTV News, the Vancouver and London Olympic Games and Discovery Channel. My work taught me how to share extraordinary stories using words and pictures .. and to never miss a deadline.Along the way I married my amazing husband and I started a family. We're now a party of 5, and they are my world. Photographing them has brought me back to my first passion. Seeing their magical stories in everyday life. Now I'd love the chance to help capture the beauty your family's everyday story too.
