Meet Victoria Beacock! Join us as we talk about what the 120 Box is, why she and her partner created it, and all the fun things inside. I ask her about the name (hint: there are not 120 things inside and they don't come out every 120 days, so my guesses were wrong) and what the response has been to the box so far. Victoria is passionate about supporting and promoting local businesses and spreading the word about all of the awesome artisan items that are available right here at home.

Karen Boucher shares her insights as a local restaurant owner during the pandemic, and how her small business adapted to the changing times.

Stacey Carroll of the Royal Brock discusses the neighbourliness of those around her, her love of walking the local trails with her dogs, and how the community has pulled together to show their support for Royal Brock residents. Hear about efforts to raise residents' spirits during Covid!

Known to the 1000 Islands as the Realtor with the hair, Mary Ann Keary insists she will be rocking the same style until death does her part. No stylist has successfully changed her look, she maintains. Join us to 'hair' all about her love for Brockville, and her community kindness experiences as a damsel in distress when her car constantly broke down.

Meet Ramona! Ramona Braganza shares her memories about a childhood growing up jumping in the river, and her incredible life as a pro cheerleader for the Raiders and celebrity fitness trainer. After growing up in the 1000 Islands she moved to LA, and recently returned to her hometown from Vancouver. Hear her perspective on kindness, a safe community and her idea for a rooftop martini bar at Tall Ships Landing. She even gives me a few free training tips!

Curt Geneau discusses the link between escape rooms and axe throwing, flipping houses before it was a thing, and how his sister is a lot cooler than him.
