My talk to the Dec. 11 Canadian Association for Equality “Momentum” conference, on the subject of politics being downstream from culture, is now available here (as is the entire conference). And if you’re thinking I haven’t learned much about Zoom setup in the last two years, well, the results speak for themselves… unfortunately.
On Jan. 6 I was on CTV Ottawa’s “Morning Live” show along with David Shackleton, Executive Director of the Canadian Centre for Men and Families - Ottawa, and Nakita of the Adult Fun Superstore, to talk about our work and the AFS’s “Double the Love” fundraising campaign for our Centre in January.
Please watch, share and consider making a donation, through the AFS or directly via our website.
Tickets are available via Eventbrite here.
The CCMF-O is an inclusive, safe place in Ottawa-Gatineau where men and boys can go when they need help, including therapy and counseling, peer support, a legal clinic, fathering programs, mentorship and support services for male victims of trauma and violence.
This year’s Gala will feature Joe Enberg’s tale of hardship and recovery, as well as updates on the Centre’s work, a fine buffet and the Capital City Chorus Barbershop Quartet, as well as a silent and live auction to assist in funding the Centre for the coming year.
If you want to know why our work is important, watch this testimonial video from men who’ve benefited from having a safe place to turn to when they need one.

A great turnout for the grand opening of the Canadian Centre for Men and Families - Ottawa on Saturday. And a very nice piece in the Ottawa Citizen.
So thanks to everyone who came to the event, and to everyone who helped make it possible from donors to volunteers to staff. And if you know anyone in the Ottawa area who needs the services the CCMF-O is putting in place, from crisis counselling to support groups to legal issues to advice on fathering after divorce (or just in general) please refer them to the centre.
