Ferreira Fest 154

You often hear staff say that food is a gateway at Haven Toronto. This has been the case since the day we opened almost 90 years ago. Clients come for a nutritious, hot meal prepared in-house and while they are here they access health and housing supports and socialize with peers.
As poverty and homelessness grow in the province, we are seeing more and more new faces of elder men. In August, new clients increased by 152% compared to the same time period pre-pandemic. We saw the spike start in June with a 163% increase. We expect these numbers to continue into and throughout 2023.

As Fall turns to winter many unhoused people find themselves unprepared for the rapidly dropping temperatures. You can help by purchasing a Weather-Ready kit at Haven Toronto’s Shop & Share Site: anything you purchase there goes directly to an elder homeless man in need – no middle man or paperwork required. It doesn’t get any easier than that to support this great cause and it has immediate tangible results.

Of course you can also give to the general operating fund of the organization by clicking on the logo below. Please note that you will be linked to our very own donations page which still bears the former name of the shelter – The Good Neighbours Club. Your donation will still arrive at Haven Toronto.

Pat cried when he told Cathy
about Mr. Mugs. He told his friends
about his lost dog.
They looked and looked, up the street and down.

“Did you see Mr. Mugs?”
“No, I didn’t.”

“Did you see Pat’s dog?
He’s lost.”
“No – I don’t think so.”

“Did you see a dog
about this big? He’s ours.
We can’t find him.”
“Sorry! No lost dogs
around here.”

They didn’t find him! He was lost!

Justin writes:

“I actually booked a small actor role on the Amazon series “The Power” recently.
Best,
-Justin”

Congratulations, Justin! They are so lucky to have you on set!

Logline:
The world of “The Power” is our world, but for one twist of nature. Suddenly, and without warning, all teenage girls in the world develop the power to electrocute people at will. It’s hereditary, it’s inbuilt, and it can’t be taken away from them. Coming alive to the thrill of pure power: the ability to hurt or even kill by releasing electrical jolts from their fingertips, they rapidly learn they can awaken the Power in older women. Soon enough nearly every woman in the world can do it. And then everything is different.

Our friend (and Louis’ BFF) Eugene is starring in the upcoming Lifetime movie An Amish Sin. Don’t miss it on October 29 at 8/ 7c,and you can stream it starting October 30. Eugene is once again typecast as a deliciously evil character, a kind of role he excels in, so no wonder he gets to play this type quite frequently! Incidentally, our friend Troy Mundle also appears in the film! Watch the trailer in Troy’s rubric!

Yes, Bradley is not playing some sleazy dude for a change! The movie Let’s Get Physical premiered on October 15. Watch the trailer here.

Bradley has been filming an episode of the drama series FBI. He writes:
“Filming in NYC! FBI: Into the Fire. NYC in the Fall to get busy doing what I love… don’t mind if I do.”

“New York, the forever adventure. 4am call times; filming in the city; filming upstate; subway music; street art; fancy trailers/ hotels; closet sized apartments; incredible food at all turns… you best bring your sense of adventure!”

Bradley’s recent project Devil in Ohio got a fabulous write-up in the Seattle Times. Here is a short quote from Bradley about his character:

“I did all this research. I looked at pictures of the actual people that could have inspired [Sheriff Wilkins]. There’s no one smiling. I knew I had to have just enough charm to be able to get away with what he does,” Stryker said about his latest character. “But he couldn’t just go around being stern and angry. He had to go around in a way that wouldn’t always raise alarms,” the actor said of Wilkins. “That was a high-wire walk that I had to balance. It was really fun to do.”

And finally, Bradley’s own newest movie is out!
