It’s a good thing my editor is somewhat flexible on my work limit, because exploring the issues around the current Ontario budget – from the choices being made to the implementation process to the impact on communities – is almost overwhelming. Please check out my effort and let me know: am I making sense or just adding to the confusion?
After a brief hiatus for a very hectic time at work including hosting Make A Buzz Ottawa 2019, NPQ North is back with the story of a dynamic grassroots Canadian charity that is growing at a rapid rate, thanks to effective social media networking, and a clear passion and demonstrated ability for solving problems. Please read, like, and share!
Huge announcement! Nonprofit Quarterly has taken the next step with me to put a bit of a brand on my contributions about Canadian nonprofit news! Here’s the announcement from the top of my latest article – but please read and use the share buttons on the article to help demonstrate that Canadians want their own dedicated source of NPQ news about our charitable sector!
Keenan Wellar is NPQ’s new point correspondent for Canada’s civil sector. He’ll be penning a periodic column called NPQ North to focus on trends and events above the border. Today, Keenan takes on the debates that have emerged around a new structure proposed for journalism organizations—one neither nonprofit nor for-profit.
I’ve fallen way behind on keeping my “Keenan Speaks” site updated, probably because any “extra time” I have goes to my new role with Nonprofit Quarterly, mainly contributing weekly newswires. I have continued my regular appearances on the 1310 News Power Lunch (about once a month) and on March 22 had a bit of fun discussing the issue of “new bridges” for Ottawa. I had mentioned to host Mark Sutcliffe that my father Barry Wellar had recently received the Order of Canada, and he brought this up in the context of this topic, so I channeled dad a bit in this segment that ends with a Barry-style zinger!
