GBPH reminding Grey-Bruce residents to test their well water this spring

The Town of The Blue Mountains is sharing this release on behalf of Grey Bruce Public Health.

With spring’s arrival, Grey Bruce Public Health is encouraging anyone with a private well to test their drinking water by taking advantage of Public Health Ontario’s complimentary testing service.

Residents can pick up a well water sample collection kit and drop off samples at any of the 14 pick-up/drop-off locations throughout Grey-Bruce. Submitted samples are tested by Public Health Ontario (PHO) for bacterial indicators of contamination, specifically E. coli and total coliforms, which can make people sick and can even be fatal.

“Spring is a perfect time for households in Grey-Bruce that draw drinking water from wells or other private systems to have a sample of their water tested,” says GBPH Senior Public Health Manager Andrew Barton.

“Public Health advises residents to test their well water at least three times a year, with the best times to test being when the chances of contamination are greatest, such as in early spring, after heavy rains, or during thaw or flooding conditions.”

A map of designated pick-up/drop-off locations for the well water testing program, along with a courier schedule, is available on GBPH’s Private Drinking Water webpage.

Samples dropped off at the Owen Sound and Walkerton sites are transported each weekday to a PHO laboratory for testing.

Couriers contracted by Public Health also pick up samples at locations along a Bruce County route on Wednesdays and a Grey County route on Fridays. A PHO courier then takes the samples to a PHO lab.

Water samples must be tested by PHO within 48 hours of collecting the sample. Therefore, residents must collect and drop off their samples as close as possible to the scheduled courier pick-up time.

Residents can now submit water sample requisition forms online, after picking up a collection kit, and receive results on PHO’s Online Water Testing Portal within a few days. If submitting a paper requisition form, test results will be available directly from PHO by phone, mail, or email.

If a test returns with an adverse result, residents can call Grey Bruce Public Health for assistance.

PHO’s well water testing program is not for residents on municipal water systems.

🏒 BIG GAME TONIGHT | The Collingwood Blues Have One Last Score to Settle with the Leamington Flyers | 7 PM @ “THE EDDIE”

The Mike Jackson Collingwood Blues are just a win away from clinching round two after a 3-0 win in Leamington Thursday night. The Blues lead the best of seven 3-1.

Hagan Bach was full marks for his 29 shot shut out in the key road win. Bach was exceptionally sharp in the second when he face half of his shots, several on breakaways and several during the 3 power plays for the Home team. Collingwood was outshot 14-3 in the second after building a 2-0 lead in the first.

Tate Vader got his first of the play offs when the Blues opened the game with an early powerplay. His one time shot powered through the goalie.

The Blues then improved on their penalty kill by adding a short handed goal. Nathan Omeri drove the slot to take a perfect pass from Ethan Facchina and snapped home a short handed marker to make it 2-0 .

A penalty sheet that didnt really reflect the feel of the game in the second as the officials called three sets of offsetting minors… two of those included an extra Blues penalty as Leamington had 3 power play chances along with the several break aways . They still didnt beat Hagan Bach who has two road shut outs in the play offs.

In the third it appeared the penalty calls would continue when Leamington had a 7th power play, that was also turned away. Collingwood had one power play late in the game but could only take two minutes off the clock.

Late in the third the Blues made an easy recovery on an errant shot just after Leamington pulled the goalie and turned it into a 3 on 1 rush to an empty net and Brayden Stumpf made it 3-0 just over two and a half minutes remaining

The series head back to Collingwood on Friday night with a 7pm start and a chance to close out the semi final in 5.

Collingwood Kicks Off Downtown Parking Study and Wants Your Input

0

Collingwood, ON [26 March 2026] – The Town of Collingwood is launching a comprehensive Downtown Parking Study aimed at better understanding current parking use and identifying opportunities for improvement to support residents, businesses, and visitors.

The study will include detailed data collection and analysis, along with a review of existing policies, procedures, and practices. Public engagement will play a central role, with input gathered from residents, local businesses, and visitors to help guide future parking strategies.

In addition to a survey, the project team will conduct further stakeholder consultations to explore parking needs, concerns, and priorities in greater depth. Community members are encouraged to subscribe to the project webpage to stay informed.

The Downtown Parking Study aims to:

• Help ensure there are convenient parking options so residents can easily access shops, restaurants, and services in town.

• Help us plan ahead so parking works for both residents and the growing number of visitors.

• Assist us in understanding parking patterns, which helps improve safety for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians.

• Ensure valuable street and land space is used in ways that benefit the whole community.

Community Input Encouraged

Public feedback is essential to the study’s success and will directly inform future parking policies and decisions. Residents and stakeholders are encouraged to complete the survey to ensure their perspectives are included.

For more information and to participate, please visit the Town of Collingwood’s project webpage at: https://engage.collingwood.ca/projects/downtown-parking-study

Hard copies of the survey are also available at Town Hall, 97 Hurontario Street, Collingwood.

3 Brain Tricks That Trigger Real Happiness in Seconds

0

Most people spend their entire lives chasing happiness from the outside. A better job. A better relationship. More money. More success. But here is what neuroscience actually says — happiness is not something that happens to you. It is something your brain produces. And in this video I am going to show you exactly how to trigger it on demand. The Success Paradox

In this video you will discover 3 brain tricks that trigger real happiness in seconds — all backed by neuroscience — and you can start all three before this video even ends. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN: Why your brain is quietly blocking happiness right now The dopamine trick that works in under 2 minutes The serotonin reset most people never use The oxytocin bridge that fixes loneliness instantly How to stack all 3 tricks for maximum effect Final thoughts and what to do right now

IF ANY OF THESE SOUND LIKE YOU — THIS VIDEO IS FOR YOU: You wake up feeling flat and unmotivated even when life looks fine on paper. You scroll for hours looking for something that makes you feel something. You feel disconnected from people even when you are surrounded by them. You used to feel excited about things but that feeling has quietly faded. You know you should feel happier but you just do not. This is not a character flaw. This is chemistry. And chemistry can be changed.

THE 3 BRAIN TRICKS COVERED IN THIS VIDEO:

Trick 1 — The Completion Loop How to trigger an instant dopamine release using tasks you already have — no willpower required. Stanford neuroscientists found that your brain responds to completion regardless of the size of the task. This one trick alone can shift your mood in under ten minutes. Trick 2 — The Witness Effect A sixty second serotonin reset that requires nothing external — no praise, no validation, no social media. Just you and one quiet memory. Social neuroscience research shows this activates the exact same brain pathways as receiving genuine praise from someone you respect. Trick 3 — The Oxytocin Bridge The one habit that modern life has quietly destroyed — and how to rebuild it in sixty seconds with a single message to one person. Oxford University researchers found this produces a measurable endorphin and oxytocin response that rivals light physical exercise.

SAVE THIS VIDEO and come back to it on the days when everything feels flat and you cannot remember what feeling good even feels like. These 3 brain tricks that trigger real happiness in seconds are worth revisiting every time life gets heavy. SOURCES AND RESEARCH REFERENCED: MIT Neuroscience — Dopamine and the Completion Response Oxford University — Laughter Endorphin Study Social Neuroscience Journal — Self Affirmation and Neural Reward Pathways World Health Organization — Global Depression and Mental Health Report American Psychological Association — Loneliness and Social Media Usage Research WHY THESE TRICKS ACTUALLY WORK: Most happiness advice targets your thoughts. Think positive. Practice gratitude. Reframe your mindset. And while those things have value, they completely ignore the biological layer underneath your thoughts. Your mood is chemistry first and mindset second. When your dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphins are running low, no amount of positive thinking will fully compensate. These three tricks work because they go straight to the source — your brain chemistry — and give it exactly the input it was designed to receive. WHO MADE THIS VIDEO: This channel is dedicated to making neuroscience and psychology simple, practical, and genuinely useful for real people living real lives. No fluff. No toxic positivity. Just science that actually works and habits you can start today.If that sounds like what you have been looking for — subscribe. New videos every week.

20 Plant Foods That Have MORE Protein Than Meat

0

🌿✨ In this video, we break down 20 plant foods that match — or even beat — meat for protein, gram for gram… including options that researchers and nutrition scientists are finally taking seriously.

✅ In this video, you’ll learn why these plants are protein powerhouses by: • delivering serious grams of protein per serving (often more than you’d expect) 🍽️ • offering fiber + micronutrients most animal foods don’t 🌱 • including complete amino acid profiles (yes, some plants do!) ✅ • fitting into simple, everyday meals without complicated prep 🥣 • giving you affordable, practical ways to upgrade your diet 💰 ✨ Stick around because #14 has more protein per calorie than a ribeye — and it’s been feeding civilizations for thousands of years. 🚀 And #20 is so protein-dense that NASA studied it for long-duration space missions.

🌿 Plants covered in this episode (ranked): Green Peas • Lentils • Hemp Seeds • Nutritional Yeast • Black Beans • Quinoa • Edamame • Tempeh • Pumpkin Seeds • Amaranth • Chia Seeds • Spirulina • Chickpeas • Mycoprotein/Fungi • Peanuts • Tofu • Sacha Inchi • Seitan • Moringa • Chlorella 👍 If you enjoyed this, LIKE & SUBSCRIBE for weekly videos about fascinating plants, homestead-friendly food knowledge, and smart ways to use what nature provides.
