October 19 Playlist!

Last weekend in my hometown, Smeaton, the volunteer fire department raised a whole pile of money for their newly purchased pumper fire truck. It really made me think about community and how great it is when people come together to support a great thing. This small fire department, made up entirely of volunteers, has been to every grass fire, highway accident, and house fire in the area surrounding it. It just goes to show that a small group of people who are committed to helping others can really make a difference. The occupation that is happening in New York, Saskatoon, and many other cities reminds me that it could really make an important change in the world. Support local people who are working to better the world for everyone, whether it be community radio playing local artists, people sleeping in the park to bring awareness to the fact that the world's wealth is held by a small group of people unnecessarily, or a small farming community coming together to help each other out.
