Can a tiny home community work to support the unhoused in Guelph?

Guelph Tiny Homes Coalition will host a  webinar through Zoom this Tuesday night at 7 p.m. to discuss the topic.

Among the speakers is Jeff Wilmer, who co-founded A Better Tent City in Kitchener, as well as Debbie Carriere, the executive director with the Elizabeth Fry Society of Peterborough, on the Peterborough’s Modular Bridge Housing Community.

There will also be an update on the proposed pilot project in Guelph, which would be 25-50 tiny homes with a shared kitchen, washroom and laundry area.

The goal is to confirm a location and deliver the project by the winter.

More than 100 people attended a June 18 kickoff event for Wellesley’s strategic housing plan, a Town Meeting-approved effort to address the need for more housing options in town. (See Wellesley Media recording.)

The plan would succeed Wellesley’s housing production plan, released in 2018 to help the town achieve a 10% threshold of affordable housing stock that would fend off unfriendly 40B projects.

I can boldly say it’s one of the best new hosts I’ve reviewed, and you’ll soon find out why.

The new season of FX’s cult restaurant drama The Bear is just a couple days away, adding to an already busy month for streaming. The series follows Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White), a young chef who moves back to Chicago after a stint in the fine dining world to run his family’s sandwich shop. As he works to keep the restaurant afloat, he’s also forced to work through many weighty emotions and memories — all while whipping together a kitchen staff that can make his grand vision for the business a reality. 

The first two seasons endeared viewers to characters like Carmy, his “cousin” Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) and sous-chef Sydney (Ayo Edebiri). The third season is sure to build upon those dynamics and show us where Carmy’s grand concept leads him and the crew.
