Paul Schram tells Janet Stewart about his 1,000km canoe trip from Thunder Bay to the Whiteshell 

Paul Schram And Hadley Burns On Radio Noon

Two Manitobans are paddling a thousand kilometres -- from Thunder Bay to the Whiteshell -- right now.

Paul Schram, and his partner, Hadley Burns, have been on the water for 26 days, and are slowly heading west.

So far they've met new people, shot white water, and even found time for some light reading.

But it's not all fun and games . . . the couple are actually working for a non-profit company called "Path of the Paddle," which promotes canoeing and kayaking in Ontario.

Are your kids or grand-kids heading off to camp next week? Are any of them heading to Camp Stephens? Perhaps you are one of the 80,000 people who were lucky enough to attend The YM/YWCA's Camp Stephens since it opened in 1891 on it's own island in Lake of the Woods. This year Camp Stephens will celebrate it's 125th anniversary at the end of July. Hal Studholme of Winnipeg has a long history with Camp Stephens - more than 50 years. In fact he was The Camp Director there from 1960 thru 1965 and has been involved ever since. This week I stumbled aross an essay Hal wrote about his time with the camp - but from a very unlikely perspective. He calls his essay  "The History of Toilets….and other disposal processes". Hal is here now. Hello.

Farmers are more likely to experience chronic stress, anxiety and depression than other Canadian workers. 

That's the early result from a survey conducted by the Ontario Veterinary College at the University of Guelph. 

In Manitoba there are resources for farmers who need help. 
Klinic's Manitoba Farm, Rural and Northern Support Service is one such program. Janet Smith is the Manager.
