A Kingscross native has found an innovative way to help people reconnect.
Dana Clark created “Cool To Connect,” an interactive card game of sorts.
Connection Cards, made by Cool To Connect, are an interactive and innovative set of 52 cards that will give you the tools to enhance your human-to-human experiences and connections. These cards will take you on an inspiring and awakening journey that will help you further your relationship with yourself and others. All you need to do is pull a card and feel your connections unfold.
Clark said Cool to Connect “encourages people that it’s cool to have deep conversations, and have emotional and real connections with people, sometimes we just need a prompt to do so!”
It’s especially relevant now with social distancing and isolation.
She explained that all you do is pull a card and answer the question. There are unlimited players and it can even be used by yourself, to prompt you to keep a journal. The 52 questions are all “PG” and they can be used online (zoom, FaceTime etc. and socially distant situations to enhance connection).
“After running Heroic Humans for nearly three years now, it was becoming more and more common of a theme throughout my interviews and interactions with people in the community and online about how much we all craved and depended on connection. I wanted to create a product that people would feel ‘cool’ to use to connect further with themselves and others.
Clark is the founder and creator of Heroic Humans, a global social impact movement with a mission to inspire, celebrate and empower Heroic members of our communities.
Heroic Humans touches thousands of lives daily from across the globe. With global ambassadors that support the mission, Heroic Humans also hosts events and most recently launched a podcast to elevate the stories, voices and personal journeys of everyday heroes.

Knowledge is power and accurate information can be invaluable in keeping communities safe. That was one of the messages delivered by York Regional Police officers during a community safety meeting Monday night, held in the municipal council chambers. A crowd of interested residents, along with almost 100 viewing online, heard officers explain the latest in data collection, technological tools and resources available to both the public and police officers, to help residents. There are many “pieces to the puzzle” and it’s a matter of “people are the police, and the police are the people.”

The King Township Food Bank (KTFB) is facing an alarming rise in demand for its services, and the organization is calling on the community for urgent support to continue meeting the growing needs of local families. Since its founding in 2004, the food bank has been a vital resource for residents struggling to put food on the table. Despite King Township’s reputation as a wealthy area, food insecurity has long been a reality for many, particularly lower-income families, rural workers, and seniors on fixed incomes. This year, the need has skyrocketed, with the food bank reporting a 66% increase in individuals served since the beginning of 2023.

An update on the revitalization of two local neighbourhoods filled the King council chambers last week, as residents voiced their concerns about future development and intensification.
