Region's first privately run crematorium to open in Kitchener - TheRecord.com

Bhardwaj is confident there is room for three crematoria in the region. "We haven't been open yet, but we're already getting multiple calls a week" from families in Kitchener, Waterloo and Cambridge, he said. Many families from the region travel to Etobicoke, where he owns the Lotus Funeral Home and Cremation Centre, which also has a large Asian clientele. In Ontario, cremations rates have steadily risen over the past couple of decades. In 2017, the cremation rate in Ontario was between 60 and 70 per cent, according to the Cremation Association of North America. People are choosing cremations for a number of reasons, Bradshaw said. First, it's less expensive than a traditional funeral and burial. Let's block ads! (Why?)...

Deadly house fire in Cambridge ruled accidental - CTV News

A house fire in Cambridge that left one man dead may have started when food was left unattended while cooking in the home’s kitchen. The cause of last week’s fire on Queen Street East has not been officially determined, but the Office of the Fire Marshal says it is considered accidental and unattended cooking is the leading theory. Rob Briere, 32, was killed in the fire. He lived in the home’s basement apartment, according to people who knew him, and was good friends with homeowner John Orth. Orth was able to get himself, his wife and their daughter out of the house unharmed. After that, sister-in-law Darlene Keating says, Orth’s thoughts immediately turned to his friend in the basement. “From what I understood, the windows exploded (and) he was unable to get his friend out,” Keating said Tuesday. “He’s sad and upset, and wishes he could have done more.” In the five days since the fire, there has been a significant amount of community support for Briere and the Orth family. Two fundraisers have...

‘Write me soon. Stay safe’: A story of Canada’s opioid crisis, told in letters from prison - The Globe and Mail

At her home in Guelph, Ont., Moira Barber lays out one of the letters between her common-law husband, Albert (Manie) Daniels, and Spencer Kell, his old cellmate at Ontario's Maplehurst prison. Tijana Martin/The Globe and Mail When Spencer Kell got out of jail last spring, leaving his cellmate Manie Daniels behind, the two friends started exchanging letters. Mr. Daniels's, written in flowing cursive script, came to Mr. Kell in Ottawa, where he was trying to stay clean and build a new life. Mr. Kell's, in bold block letters, arrived at Maplehurst prison in Milton, Ont., where Mr. Daniels was serving out the final months of his latest stretch behind bars. Their brief correspondence shines a light on the dangers that former prisoners face in the midst of Canada's opioids crisis. Mr. Daniels's full name was Albert Joseph Daniels. His Cree name was Little Buffalo that Runs Against the Herd. His mother and sisters called him Manie – little man – because he was the only boy in the family. Story continues below advertisement He was torn away from his home on Saskatchewan's Peepeekisis First Nation to be educated in church-run res...
