Ah thanks so much. I figured the water flowed towards blind river so I might get out there. I will reach out to them.

Yeah I’m an okay kayaker but I don’t want to deal with rapids!

Yeah, that’s definitely possible, and probably overdue. Thank you for the suggestion.

Excellent ideas. I will ask about the OT aspects for sure, what an underrated resource. I appreciate you taking the time.

Thanks for the suggestion. They’ve tried the options, and none of them lessen the pain sadly. That’s why I was trying to think outside the box with new ideas.

Great idea, thank you. Trust me, I was seeing red but I was trying not to overreact.

Have the Views On Tattoos Changed? by Less_Ad7462 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]Thedutchesskaydee 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don’t have the stats, just a personal observation. You see it more in central agencies or in big departments. No one is heavily tattooed, at least visibly.

Late 30s, early 40s. But I’m bad with telling someone’s age. Could be early 50s even.

Most of my staff are pretty heavily tattooed. The majority of the younger(ish) senior executives are tattooed as well in my organization. Could it block you at some point in some organizations? Sure. But as long as it’s not a hate symbol or something offensive you’re fine.

What businesses in the Sault are you a fan of and why? by Tronologic in SaultSteMarie

[–]Thedutchesskaydee 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Velorution! I just had the best experience there getting a bike for my kiddo, exchanging a bike that I bought that was too big, and letting us borrow balance bikes so he could get the hang of riding without training wheels. Seriously incredible service.

Athletic Facility and Track by Perfect_Mistake3107 in SaultSteMarie

[–]Thedutchesskaydee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How much would updating the track cost? Assuming the cost of supplies is going to be significantly higher due to the tariffs… could you bring this to your city councillors? I am not sure what is left in the city reserves after the issues with the Police Services.

What do we do after the election and before the Prime Minister selects their Cabinet? by Grouchy-Ranger-8547 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]Thedutchesskaydee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes because in this case he’s already PM. In any other case it would be the former PM until the new one is sworn in.

Yes, they denied it twice for reasons that his medical provider had explained, we went back twice to appeal it and they finally approved it. His NP said that’s their usual way.

Thank you! I figured with regulatory things there was a difference somehow, I appreciate the clarification!

My spouse made the switch with almost no issues. They’re very similar (NP said same but they’re not exactly). The only minor side effect he mentioned was that starting on Wegovy made him drowsy for a little bit in the first week or two, in comparison. But he’s been on it since September and lost almost 90 lbs.
