This year marks 30 years of Black History Month in Canada, with the theme “Honouring Black Brilliance Across Generations — From Nation Builders to Tomorrow’s Visionaries.” This theme reflects the enduring impact of Black Canadians both past, present, and future, and recognizes the resilience, creativity, and leadership that continue to strengthen our communities. 💛 Throughout February, we’ll be sharing local organizations to support and community events where we can come together in celebration, reflection, and continued learning. #BlackHistoryMonth

Feeling the winter blues? You're not alone! Here's a few self-care tips for winter wellnes! The third Monday of January has become known as "Blue Monday" and is deemed the most depressing day of the year. While there is limited scientific evidence to support the Blue Monday theory, many of us may be feeling the effects of the winter's lack of sunshine, the cooler temperatures, or Seasonal Effective Disorder (SAD) on our mental health and wellness. Try one or two of these and see how you feel after! Just a little bit of self-care can go a long way, especially during the winter months. Check out our blog to learn more about SAD on our Children's Mental Health blog: "Coping with SAD Season – What it is and How to Manage it" #WinterWellness #MindfulMondays #MentalHealthAndWellness #BlueMonday

Running a business that services hundreds of buildings across Ontario requires a skilled and reliable team. For Cinnamon, Executive Vice President of River Rock Laundry, the Canada-Ontario Job Grant became a strategic solution to strengthen her workforce and support internal growth. River Rock Laundry provides commercial laundry services to more than 600 buildings in Ontario. With such a wide reach, the company depends on its service technicians to keep equipment running smoothly. One of those technicians is Joseph, who joined the team while still in high school and quickly showed initiative and a desire to grow. With financial support from the Job Grant, Joseph was able to pursue the certification required to safely work on gas and electric dryers. “It’s not just a job anymore, it’s a career,” Cinnamon shared. “He’s found the right fit, and he feels really great about it.” Read more in our Employer Spotlight Series - link in bio! @riverrocklaundry #EmployerSpotlight #WorkforceDevelopment #EmployeeSuccess #StarlingEmploymentServices
