  1. At Anchor Radio, we know how important **connection, friendship and a sense of community** can be. Whether it’s a chat over lunch, joining an activity, or simply having someone there to listen, small moments of connection can mean so much. 💛

    **Today and every day — let's look out for one another.**

    Ah heck, I forgot about my Internet bill being due🥺 As a disabled trans guy who is often bedbound, I need my Internet to stay connected so that I can actually interact with the world and have a life, social interaction etc, but I live under the poverty line, and with the recent other health diagnoses, meds side effects and waiting for my next operation, it completely slipped my mind and now I'm very stuck. I need $65 to cover it so it doesn't get cut off. Could you help me reach that goal please friends? It's much appreciated. Thank you🥰

  7. #SNIWWOC #FoodProject: Your food, your choice.

    According to Statistics Canada (Dec 2020), approximately one in seven Canadians (14.6%) were living in a food-insecure household in May 2020. #FoodInsecurity is also a cause associated with poorer nutrition as well as a variety of physical and mental health issues.

    SNIWWOC is providing a #FoodSecurity program for #LowIncome #RacializedWomen including #transgender and #TwoSpirit community members. This program is intended to offset costs of monthly #groceries, not to cover all costs.

    Eligible clients will receive the decided amount of gift cards to one of the grocery stores. We are committed to supporting vulnerable women in our community, such as single mothers and newcomers who are sometimes isolated.

    ELIGIBILITY
    1. Women Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour, including transgender, non-binary and two-spirit community members who are 18 years old or above;

    2. Must make less than the low-income cut-off line (submit the proof of income)* see the table on website.

    3. Resident of Greater Victoria BC, Canada.

    STEPS:
    1. Fill out our Groceries Project Request form.
    2. Receive an email from SNIWWOC.
    3. Submit proof of income (or household income if you are married/common law). This can include: a current tax return, notice of assessment, or any benefits received from the government (ex. Disability Assistance).

    **Screenshots of bank statements or accounts will not be considered a valid form of proof of income**

    4. Submit proof of dependent(s). This can include: health cards, passports, birth certificate, driver's license, school registration, childcare statement, or status card.

    5. Set up an in-person appointment at SNIWWOC’s Victoria BC office.

    6. Fill out the feedback survey sent via email from SNIWWOC.

    Note: You can apply once every three months, while supplies last. Clients are eligible for their first round of gift cards every three months after receiving them. Clients who receive their second gift card in three months must wait another six months to be eligible for the program once again.

    Example: Client A can apply in January and receive the gift card, then Client A can also apply again in April, then they would need to wait until October to be eligible for the program once again.

    OUR TEAM
    We are an interdisciplinary team of women dedicated to improving the health of racialized women across Canada. We are the community we serve.

  8. On January 26, I had the opportunity to speak with Mayor of Moonee Valley Council Pierce Tyson, Cr. Rose Iser and Moonee Valley City Council CEO Helen Sui, about Indigenous healing and how we can be more sensitive to our First Nations people on January 26.
    We also discussed a local project I have been wanting and proposing for several years and Mayor Tyson was gracious enough to invite me to send him my proposal, in the hope that he may be able to advocate for it on my behalf (watch this space). Both Cr. Iser and Ms. Sui were encouraged by my enthusiasm to create local change for indigenous peoples, and were incredibly supportive and enthusiastic.
    I also had an opportunity to speak with Niddrie Greens candidate Declan McGinness, where we discussed how collaboration not politics, will see the most positive changes for our communities come to fruition.
    I thank all of these wonderful people for their warm hospitality and genuine care in what I had to say.
