First we lost the Fort Erie Times. Then we lost the Fort Erie Post. And somewhere in between, Bill C-18 became law which resulted in news links being altogether banned from Facebook.

Talented local journalists found themselves out of work. Small business owners were left with fewer places to advertise. But most importantly, our town found itself quickly becoming a news desert.

As you may have already heard, I decided to do something in response. I launched Fort Erie Radio back in March, an internet radio station broadcasting 24/7 from Queen Street.

Fort Erie Radio is available via free iOS and Android apps, Alexa devices, and at forterieradio.ca.

On February 24, 2024, I will be participating in Coldest Night of the Year in support of the Brain Injury Association of Fort Erie. And I’m asking for your support.

This Saturday, May 6, 2023, I will be collecting non-perishable food items and unopened toiletries to donate to C.O.P.E., the food bank in Fort Erie. Here is how to participate:

Yesterday, I organized a bottle drive in support of frontline healthcare workers at Douglas Memorial Hospital, which raised a total of $765. Special thanks to The Beer Store for (safely) facilitating our returns and to everyone who donated their empties.

Between 10 am and 4 pm this Monday, June 8, 2020, I will be collecting empty beer, wine, and liquor containers to donate to frontline healthcare workers at Douglas Memorial Hospital via The Beer Store.

Last fall, my wife and I organized a food drive at Sobeys for COPE. In exchange for donating food items, we gave away free The Fort Erie Podcast tee shirts. This spring, I am doing something similar. Make an online donation to Fort Erie Meals on Wheels and receive a free Fort Erie Podcast tee shirt.

I’ve often said that a good realtor should be a good community ambassador. So, starting last July, I made it my mission to get involved in my local community — and I’ve had a blast doing it! Here are some photos from various events this past year.
