Prepare for Changes to Ontario’s Road Rules With CAA’s Heads Up!

Over the past year we’ve shared a number of updates regarding upcoming changes to Ontario’s Highway Traffic Act, namely around expanded penalties for distracted driving, adding tow trucks to the existing Slow Down Move Over legislation, and new safety measures for cycling.

All three of these issues were key subjects in Bill 31, also known as the Making Ontario’s Roads Safer Act which passed in June 2015. CAA has long advocated for many items within the bill, namely stronger penalties for distracted driving and for the added protection of tow trucks drivers while working on Ontario’s roads. We are pleased that these changes are slated to come into effect on Tuesday, September 1, 2015.

Earlier this summer, CAA launched a campaign to help educate its members, and all road users, entitled Heads Up! The goal of the campaign is to raise awareness and educate drivers about new laws and regulations following the passing of the Making Ontario’s Roads Safer Act. The website provides safety tips and details about the changes in legislation. A series of radio and transit advertisements also highlight the new rules.

CAA officially launched Heads Up! at an event on July 27, where we were joined by representatives from the Ontario Provincial Police, Toronto Police Service, and York Regional Police, along with Ontario’s Minister of Transportation, the Hon. Steven Del Duca.

SGC Admin Astrology Info, Astrology Notes, Moon Phase: Current Sun Sign:

The Moon and Astrology: How it affects our daily life… Transiting Moon in Scorpio July 2015

The Moon and Astrology

HOW IT AFFECTS OUR DAILY LIVES… 

In astrology, the moon is connected to our emotions and reactions… how we are feeling on a given day may well be influenced by the sign that is visiting the moon… The moon stays with each sign for up to 2.5 days…. :) 

The Moon Void-off-Course: 

There are times throughout the month when the moon isn’t fully immersed in any sign… this is when we say the moon is Void off Course… and when this occurs, we may feel “foggy” and “unfocused” … We may not be sure how we are truly feeling about a situation or a person…. Therefore it is not recommended that we make long-term commitments or important decision’s while the moon is Void off Course…. However there are 4 signs in the zodiac which may prove positive during the Void-off-Course moon… 

Good for Void-Off-Course Moon:

These v/c signs may prove to be quite productive times.

  • Cancer
  • Taurus
  • Sagittarius
  • Pisces…

Opportunity Periods  (thanks to astrologer Jim Shawvan):

There are other periods throughout the month that are known as Opportunity Periods, when it can prove to be a positive time for most people, however if you have challenging aspects happening within your own chart you may not be able to make use of opportunity periods. 

Thanks to Jim Shawvan present day astrologer, William Lilly 17th century astrologer and Llewellyn’s Daily Planetary Guide for opportunity periods.

  • Date: August 20 to 22 2015
  • Moon Sign: Scorpio 5:24 am (ET) 2:24 am (PT)
  • Moon Phase: 1st
  • Void-off-Course: August 22  3:31 pm: (ET) 1:41 pm (PT) to 4:41 pm (ET) 1:41 pm (PT)
  • House(s): 1st house: Of the self… one’s own needs and desires are in focus
  • Opportunity Period: None

What does it all mean?

  • Scorpio is very intense and probably the most sensitive of the zodiac signs
  • The moon relates to our emotions, indicating we could be feeling everything more deeply for the next couple of days
  • We can immerse ourselves in our projects now.
  • Watch for becoming obsessed with someone or something…. not everyone falls for someone at the same time and patience may be needed regarding sensitive relationship matters
  • Be sure that your partner, friend, lover, co-worker or school friend is really trying to upset your personal apple cart before making waves
  • We could be encouraged or directed towards taking risks or doing things we wouldn’t normally do, especially those of a group or team nature. 
  • Sex may be high on the agenda for some of us… so if you don’t want to help the world population grow right now use caution… :) 
  • Some of us may be highly creative right now, while others get connected to their psychic side… 
  • Secrets may be told now… we can be enticed to open up to others about our deepest feelings/fantasy’s…
  • In the 1st house: Our needs and desires are at the top of the agenda, making this a challenging time for folk who are used to doing things their way as they may inadvertently upset others, or come across as being selfish. Being aware of how we speak to and deal with others is a good way of keeping any selfish streak under control. For those who are usually the ones who do all the giving, enjoy this time, and do something nice for yourself, you deserve it… :) 
  • While we will all be effected slightly by the Scorpio moon, she will have a greater effect on those who have the following in their charts.. and those who have a strong Aries or Taurus placement in their charts. 
    • Moon in Scorpio
    • Sun in Scorpio
    • Moon in Aries
    • Ascendant in Scorpio
    • Mid-heaven in Scorpio
    • Moon in 1st or 8th house
    • Aspects to the Moon, Mars or Pluto

Kaline Naturals to close it’s virtual doors soon… :( Marta Raptis is looking forward to a new and exciting venture…

SGC Admin: From our inbox to you: From Kalina Naturals… changes are afoot for Marta, and while we are sad to see Kalina Naturals come to an end for her, we understand only too well how “one door closes, another one opens” and we wish her much success with her new venture….. As Marta releases new information to us regarding her new venture we will be sure to share, in our newsletter, on SGC, on Twitter, Linkdin and Facebook… :) 

Hi Serenity’s Gift Cove,
I have some BIG NEWS to share with you today. This news is both a bit sad and exciting.

But first, I want to thank you for being a loyal supporter of my company, Kalina Naturals and for choosing natural products for your lovely skin! I truly appreciate that you’ve been with me on this journey to create a meaningful company that supports natural living.

So it feels somewhat bittersweet that I announce Kalina Naturals is going to be shutting down its doors soon.

I have thoroughly enjoyed creating natural bath & body products for the past three and a half years and I’ve loved the wonderful feedback I got from happy customers.

However, I have found a new passion that I am very excited to pursue. And that is to help others live the lives of their dreams and start a business of their own. So if you’ve always dreamed of starting your own company, but didn’t know how or lacked the resources to do it, I will be able to guide you on your new path. My new business will be focused on success & business coaching.

I wanted to give you an early heads-up about the future of Kalina Naturals because it will still be around for a few months, BUT some of the products have already been discontinued and only the favourites are sticking around for a bit longer. So if you like any of the products, make sure to grab them while you can at kalinanaturals.com! Once they’re gone, they’re really gone.

I will still attend a few more sales events & shows before the holiday season and I will announce those through this newsletter. Then later, I will send you a final email with a link to my new website for coaching and you will have the option to subscribe if you wish to my new email list, which will come with a freebie :)

I wish to stay connected with you and I hope that you will find my new business offerings of tremendous value. I look forward to sharing my upcoming announcements with you!

Warmest regards,
Marta Raptis, Founder

SGC From our inbox to you from SumOfUs: The Canadian government just gave it permission to drill for oil off Nova Scotia’s cost

SGC From our Inbox to You .. From SomofUs Re: Shell proposal to dig off of Nova Scotia… without having to cap a blow out for 3 weeks…. ?? The rest of the article can be found by clicking on the link… there is also a petition available for signage..

This is Shell’s dream. The Canadian government just gave it permission to drill for oil off Nova Scotia’s cost — and the company doesn’t need to cap an oil blowout for 21 days.

Are they kidding? Shell will be allowed to freely spill oil into the ocean for three weeks — potentially wreaking environmental havoc on Nova Scotia’samazing marine life, major fishing grounds, coastal communities and the Sable Island National Park Reserve, the world’s largest breeding colony of grey seals.

And it’s all so Shell can save a few bucks by not having to keep safety equipment nearby.

The U.S. requires oil companies to cap blowouts within 24 hours. Canada is giving Shell three weeks to bring equipment in from Norway after a blowout happens — 5,000 kilometres away. Please Click here to read the rest of this article. 

The SumOfUs community has stood up to Big Oil’s destruction of the environment, and we’ve had a major impact. Hundreds of thousands of us came together to stop Shell from drilling in the Arctic, and to demand that Chevron pay for its crimes in the Amazon. Now, let’s stand together to keep Shell out of Nova Scotia.
