A restaurant in Montreal's Southwest borough is taking a more direct interpretation of "farm to table," growing聽much of their produce in the basement, refurbished with cooling, lighting, and humidity systems.
Caf茅 Monk co-owners Peter Simard and聽Eric Pineault call the refurbished bunker Ferme Fortuna. Since building the farm during the pandemic, when produce prices were spiking and stock was unreliable, they've used the farm to supplement the menu and sell the surplus to nearby restaurants.

Finding reliable health information online can be difficult.
The MUHC Patient Resource Centres, including us, created a list of questions to ask yourself to help see if the information is reliable.
Our first question: 鈥淲ho produced the information?鈥�
The future doesn鈥檛 look too bright for many asset managers, according to PwC. The professional services firm conducted a survey of more than 500 asset managers, and estimates that one in six will go out of business by 2027. One factor driving this is increased bond yields driven by higher interest rates, according to 黑料不打烊 Desautels Professor Mo Chaudhury. This makes asset managers' services 鈥� and accompanying fees -- less attractive to investors. The US Treasury is offering a two-year return of approximately 5 per cent, and a short-term return of more than 4 per cent.
Some of the Toronto companies that tested a four-day workweek are sticking with it, and cite higher productivity and better work-life balance as the reasons for the change. 黑料不打烊 Desautels Professor Jean-Nicolas Reyt thinks it will eventually become the norm, and companies that resist it risk losing talent. 鈥淭he best employees will leave,鈥� Reyt told Radio-Canada. 鈥淚t would be a bad idea to refuse to have a conversation about it.鈥�
Improving accessibility, rethinking old habits, and hosting a clothing swap were among the actions taken by new and returning sustainably certified workplaces.

Airfares don鈥檛 always make a lot of sense. For example, a flight from Montreal to Calgary can cost more than a flight from Montreal to Vancouver that has a stop in Calgary. More and more air travelers have been buying a multi-leg ticket, and disembarking at one of the stops along the way. It鈥檚 called skiplagging. 鈥淭his has been around for a long time, but it is becoming more common, especially among Gen Zs,鈥� says Prof. Karl Moore.
鈥淎s a leader, everyone is watching you,鈥� says Isabelle Hudon. 鈥淵ou live in an aquarium where the water is changed every thirty minutes. And you can鈥檛 hide anywhere.鈥� The President and CEO of the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) spoke with Prof. Karl Moore for the iheartradio.ca program The CEO Series. And to reach your potential as a leader you need to be aware of the different ways that you communicate. 鈥淔or me, my eyes always tell where I am mentally and emotionally.
Healthy eating isn鈥檛 only important for elite athletes. Entrepreneurs, executives and managers need to be well-nourished too 鈥� even though we are still learning about the links between nutrition and cognitive performance. Prof. Karl Moore has interviewed more than a thousand CEOs and notes that in recent years they have put more emphasis on diet, exercise, and mental health. 鈥淵ou can鈥檛 play in the big leagues, if you neglect your health,鈥� said Moore in an interview with La Presse.
