While currently not mandatory in all areas of Ontario, food handler training is encouraged by the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care. The health unit works with local food businesses to help meet their needs for training by providing options for learning and specific training aimed at specific groups.”

St Patrick’s Day

 

5

 

St Patrick’s Day is a public holiday in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador on the nearest Monday to March 17 each year. It remembers St Patrick, a missionary who converted many of Ireland’s inhabitants to Christianity in the 5th century. His feast day also celebrates Irish culture.

St Patrick’s Day marks the feast day and anniversary of the death of a Christian missionary known as Patrick. He was born in the year 387, probably somewhere near the present day border between Scotland and England. At the age of 16, he was captured and taken to Ireland as a slave. During this period, he became very religious and after six years he fled back to his family.

St Patrick’s Day celebrations were brought to Canada by Irish immigrants. The day is a bank holiday in Northern Ireland and a public holiday in the Republic of Ireland. In the rest of the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia and New Zealand, it is celebrated, but is not an official holiday.
People who have an Irish background or enjoy Irish culture may hold Irish themed parties and serve traditional dishes, such as Colcannon or Irish stew. Colcannon is a dish of mashed potatoes mixed with kale or cabbage and Irish stew is traditionally made with lamb and root vegetables.

Symbol

The most widely-seen St Patrick’s Day symbols are the colors green, and sometimes orange, and the shamrock. The shamrock is a symbol of Ireland and a registered trademark of the Republic of Ireland. It is the leaf of the clover plant, which grows on the ground, often among grass and an Irish Catholic symbol of the Holy Trinity. It is sometimes confused with the four-leaf clover, which is a variety of the three-leaf clover and is thought to bring good luck.

28th Annual Women’s Fair

21

Mark your calendar for November 5th, 2016 from 10 am to 4 pm at the Neelin Street Community Center (CP arena) for the Annual LCIH Women’s Fair in support of Lanark County Interval House.

Interval House is the only dedicated anti-violence organization in the County. From support services, crisis line, emergency shelter to outreach services and public education, Lanark County Interval House is reaching out, rising up and supporting women’s empowerment, strength and courage.

Women’s Fair demonstrates true leadership

The herstory of the Women’s Fair is one that LCIH is most proud of, as the legacy of leadership and commitment is remarkable. It combines two essential goals of the work of LCIH; it raises much-needed funds to support our many programs and it offers a venue for public education on the issues facing women and their children fleeing and or living with violence in their homes.

Without the Women’s Fair the agency would be required to raise many more thousands of dollars to offer the direct service supports to women in Lanark County.

We appreciate the support of the community as it is an integral part of the foundation so we hope to see you at the fair.

For more information or to be a part of the event please contact Pam Cupak, Fundraising Coordinator, at 613 257-3469 ext. 27.
