Where did the summer go? Here we are at the start of August and enjoying the (in Toronto) Simcoe Day long weekend.Most people just know this weekend as a civic holiday but are not aware of its real name or purpose – To honour John Graves Simcoe, who founded the town of York, Upper Canada, which later became Toronto.He was also the first lieutenant governor of the province of Ontario. So there you go.Speaking of Simcoe… Many of us are heading up to Lake Simcoe and the surrounding areas of cottage country. Others will be enjoying all the festivities going on in, and around the city.With that in mind here are our safety tip reminders: Continue reading …

Over the last five years, I have noticed different patterns emerge in our web traffic.For example, summer marks a sharp increase in visitors to our site seeking criminal defence lawyers. The higher the temperature, the higher our search volumes.Logically, this makes sense. We are out more enjoying the weather. Staying out later. Interacting and socializing with friends and strangers alike for greater periods of time.It’s hard to get in trouble laying on your couch under your snuggie during the winter when its minus 25C.

Many of us were amused by the adventures of the escaped, “High Park Peacock” in late May and earlier this month. It seems this creatures magnificent plumage is equally matched by its cunning and elusiveness.I was honoured (and a little tickled) to be mentioned in a tweet by this feathered, Toronto celebrity.

The Internet can certainly be a wacky place but it can also be pretty wonderful. Recently I came across a company and website that falls into the later category – MyPSW.ca.A casual Twitter link lead me to an announcement from MaRS naming MyPSW.ca as one of ten healthcare startups transforming the delivery healthcare in Ontario.Increasingly, due to budgetary and other factors, the hands-on care provided to your loved ones in hospital settings, and especially the community, is being provided by personal support workers or PSW’s.Many of my clients here at Top Lawyers are personal injury lawyers and my first thought was the benefit such a resource could be for their injured clients. Upon discharge from a general hospital or rehabilitation centre, returning home proves difficult for many. The everyday activities of daily living, that we all take for granted when healthy, become challenging or impossible to perform after being seriously injured. – Enter the home healthcare worker and/or PSW – Nurses and PSW’s are the backbone of our system yet under appreciated and underpaid. Which brings me to my second thought… Continue reading …
