The document summarizes the story of Madoc Township Public School in Ontario. It discusses how:
- The school was opened in 1961 and became grades K-6 in the 1970s, with an emphasis on academic excellence.
- In 2016, the local school board recommended closing the school and busing students elsewhere, sparking community opposition.
- Local residents organized under the group "Rural Schools Matter" and advocated to keep the school open, showing the power of community voices.
- Ultimately, the school was kept open, showing that community efforts can overcome closure recommendations.

The Fascinating World of Bats: Unveiling the Secrets of the Nightthomasard1122
The Fascinating World of Bats: Unveiling the Secrets of the Night
Bats, the mysterious creatures of the night, have long been a source of fascination and fear for humans. With their eerie squeaks and fluttering wings, they have captured our imagination and sparked our curiosity. Yet, beyond the myths and legends, bats are fascinating creatures that play a vital role in our ecosystem.
There are over 1,300 species of bats, ranging from the tiny Kitti's hog-nosed bat to the majestic flying foxes. These winged mammals are found in almost every corner of the globe, from the scorching deserts to the lush rainforests. Their diversity is a testament to their adaptability and resilience.
Bats are insectivores, feeding on a vast array of insects, from mosquitoes to beetles. A single bat can consume up to 1,200 insects in an hour, making them a crucial part of our pest control system. By preying on insects that damage crops, bats save the agricultural industry billions of dollars each year.
But bats are not just useful; they are also fascinating creatures. Their ability to fly in complete darkness, using echolocation to navigate and hunt, is a remarkable feat of evolution. They are also social animals, living in colonies and communicating with each other through a complex system of calls and body language.
Despite their importance, bats face numerous threats, from habitat destruction to climate change. Many species are endangered, and conservation efforts are necessary to protect these magnificent creatures.
In conclusion, bats are more than just creatures of the night; they are a vital part of our ecosystem, playing a crucial role in maintaining the balance of nature. By learning more about these fascinating animals, we can appreciate their importance and work to protect them for generations to come. So, let us embrace the beauty and mystery of bats, and celebrate their unique place in our world.
Amid the constant barrage of distractions and dwindling motivation, self-discipline emerges as the unwavering beacon that guides individuals toward triumph. This vital quality serves as the key to unlocking one’s true potential, whether the aspiration is to attain personal goals, ascend the career ladder, or refine everyday habits.

“Our family was able to participate in cheerleading,

Month allowed us to participate in activities that my
children would never have been able to try. My children
enjoyed trying new things, and I even enrolled them in
gymnastics afterward. My son gained a high interest in

videos. Every organization we worked with was
incredibly welcoming! …We are looking forward to the
next KGA month!” – Crystal Kuhlmann

Collaborative Partnership
A community-wide initiative
Our Steering committee is made up of several key organizations, each of whom is passionate about making our community a more active place.
List organizations…. As you can see, all of our partners play a crucial role on this dedicated team, dedicating their resources & services, ideas, in-kind contributions, and collaboration towards seeking funding initiatives.
KGA Steering Committee meets about once every 2 months to discuss funding, intitiaves, and share what is happening within each organization. The goal is to share resources, work together towards our common goal, and avoid working in silos.
How KGA started:
KGA was Created in 2005 with grant funding from Active2010 (part of the government of Ontario’s sport and physical activity strategy). – The YMCA grabbed onto the idea and forged the partnerships which make up KGA today. The group developed a comprehensive framework & community action plan, piloted activities and tracked efforts to promote sport, PA and play in Kingston.
Queens was instrumental in involving both grad & under grad students in carrying out research & evaluation and enhancing many initiatives through student projects.
Past funding includes Canadian Heart and Stroke Foundation, Community Investment Fund, City of Kingston funding and others.
Current funding thanks to Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport – OSCRF grant
Accessible Recreation – Webpage

25% students used pass at least 4 times during 9 months
10% of students used pass more than 10 times
Reduce transportation barriers to and from physical activity opportunities
Use student card to get a transit pass for FREE
Get to all the recreation facilities!
Number of visits – same people counted multiple times
Further breakdown also available
Can evaluate which facilities and activities are most popular, decide if we can offer more of that, which grades should we target more based on stats, etc.
ActivPass partners meet in spring
Discuss the successes, challenges, and ideas for upcoming years
Issue of privacy for grade 5s, whether or not can create a grade 5 card that is generic and has no photo
Starting early September instead of November
One year had funding to offer field trips to facilities for grade 9 PE classes helped to address comfort factor when going to new place, lead to increase of grade 9 visits – difficult to access yearly funding but will try
Also seen success when specific drop in nights are advertised and planed (i.e. skate to music night, drop in gym night, etc.)
KGA will continue to build awareness of:
Organization
Ways to be active in Kingston
Options around the community
Initiatives like the active pass
And utilize resources available to continue initiatives
Queens students key in review of KGA and initiatives, evaluation and promotion
4th years and graduate students help with various roles
KGA steering committee meets every 2 months, share what’s happening in organizations
Share resources, work together towards common goal, avoid working in silos
Get Kingston Active!!
Kingston Gets Active Month was created in 2013 with funding from the Ministry. It happens every September and April, and allows all citizens an opportunity to try FREE recreation and workshop activities
Once the first KGA Month was planned and completed, it was much easier to conduct the following KGA Months.
Organizations are invited to participate and complete a registration form. They can choose to offer as many free activities as they like during the month and are asked to choose their dates and times.
KGA Month is promoted to the community through our partners’ social media, newsletters and email communications, as well as through media releases.
All participating organizations receive packets with the calendars, posters, participation tracking sheets. KGA Month take-home bags can also be provided for participants to take home.
Once KGA Month is completed, participating organizations and individuals are asked to complete a survey.
Coming up soon, a KGA Month Toolkit will be available. In the toolkit is a timeline of what to do before, during and after the month, with links to invitations, registration forms, promotional posters, media releases, and surveys. Here is an example of the registration form.
From this KGA Month calendar, you can see the variety of opportunities are offered from a range of community organizations: from martial arts, swimming, dance or physical literacy workshops, there is a free activity for everyone to enjoy!
Our last KGA Month in September 2014 was a great success….
Coming soon, we hope to raise awareness and increase participation by developing a KGA Month Passport and a KGA Month Sports Day. With the passport, participants can collect stamps from as many free activities as they like. Sports Day is an opportunity for members of the public to come out and try a variety of sports all offered in the Park. Sports Day will be tied in with another new Kingston Event: Streets Alive, where certain downtown streets are blocked off and an array of free recreational physical activities are offered to the public. We are hoping for a great turnout.
Electronic Tool Kit will be available soon for those that wish to start similar initiatives in their community
