Sustainable showcase in Orillia to feature the future of boating
From the dock to Lake Couchiching, the future of boating will be on full display this weekend at the Sustainable Orillia Green Innovative Showcase. ENVGO is showcasing its fully electric hydrofoil prototype called the NV1. Mike Peasgood, CEO of ENVGO, said the hydrofoil is the main principal the electrification. 'The main principle behind that technology is a wing which sits underneath the water and it lifts the hull out of the water,' said Peasgood. 'That gives us some incredible efficiency and performance which really makes that electrification practical.' The sleek vessel promises to go farther and faster than gas-powered boats, with hydrofoils that lift it above the water for a smoother, more efficient ride. 'That's really the big differentiator beyond the zero emissions,' said Peasgood. 'We're not polluting the environment but we're also giving an overall better experience of that smooth flight over water and really showcase what that future of marine technology is going to look like.' Danny Epstein is the vice president of the Sustainable Orillia Green Innovation Showcase. The event runs Saturday July 26 from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m and Sunday 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. He hopes people who attend the showcase have a better understanding of sustainability after walking through the grounds. 'We can't keep growing and we can't be dependent on growth all the time. and people need to understand that there are limits to growth,' said Epstein. 'We live in at a time where, obviously there's lots of evidence of climate change.'

'Boats that you do see here are new technology, particularly the ENVGO boat,' said Epstein. 'That's new Canadian technology, and it's clean technology.' Vendors like M-Oceans participating in the showcase say that electric will be the future of boating. 'Yes, 100% sustainability is where it's all headed towards, we see vessels from small inflatable dinghies to sailboats to even some larger power boats being converted, very actively today,' said Anatolii Shkliaruk, founder of M-Oceans. With functional benefits continuing to increase on EV vessels. 'Sailing off into the sunset with no noise, no gas, no clouds of smoke, and quiet,' said Shkliaruk. 'It aligns with the philosophy of sailing and boating in general and all the harbors and the small lakes are then clean with no spills. There's no oil and marine wildlife is preserved.' With a small fraction of electric boats in the water today, Peasgood believes there will be a shift coming. 'That's because it takes so much power to push the boat through the water. What we're building here, is the technology which gives us the efficiency so that electric becomes practical,' said Peasgood. 'I think, inevitably, we'll transition to electric, and this is a technology that we need to make that happen.' The showcase is free attend and will have activities for kids including face painting.

THE CANADIAN PRESS/Sean Kilpatrick TORONTO — Rogers Communications Inc. is joining a growing list of companies asking its employees to return to the office. The telecom company says it will require its corporate employees to be in the office four days a week starting in October. It says in-office days will increase to five days a week in February. There will be no changes for front-line or production teams. Rogers spokesperson Zac Carreiro says the phased approach will give workers and their families time to adjust to the changes. The telecom company isn't alone in reining in hybrid work policies. TD Bank asked its employees earlier this week to be in the office four days a week starting in the fall. Other big banks, including RBC, Scotiabank and BMO have also mandated at least four days in office starting in September, while Canaccord Genuity is reportedly moving to five. The Canadian Press

Lee Chambers recognised as an 2025 inspirational D&I leader
The CEO of Male Allies UK was featured on the 2025 D&I Leaders most inspirational list Lee Chambers, the business psychologist and CEO of Male Allies UK, was nominated in a survey of 370 international diversity and inclusion professionals as an inspirational leader in the field of gender equality and male allyship. The list recognises who people in the profession see as thought leaders who are accelerating workplace inclusion across the globe. Chambers features on this year list for the first time, and is joined by other practitioners whose focus on evidence based inclusion stands out in the current climate. This years list includes John Amaechi, Pamela Hutchinson and Zaheer Ahmad. The list, in it's 5th year, is one of the most prestigious pieces of recognition for those in the field of inclusion, given it solely selected by peers across the globe. Diversity and Inclusion Leaders are a community of over 20,000 people, in roles relating to inclusion and those passionate about people and culture within organisations. They host a yearly summit and a range of expert led events across the calendar year, designed to upskill and equip leaders while fostering connection across industries. On featuring on this years list, Lee Chambers said, "To be recognised and held up by those that work in the field is a moment to remember on my journey. Male Allies UK may only be a year old, but years of work have gone into ensuring we are impactful, relevant and innovative, and create outcomes that last for our clients. I wouldn't class myself as inspirational, but I do feel inspired by the difference we have made. This is my peers telling me to keep going, and I get fulfillment and energy from that." This caps an excited first half of the year for the Male Allies UK team, and with the launch of their Voice of the Boys report in the House of Commons and collaborations with global companies across 12 sectors, they are just getting starting in making male allyship and gender equity a reality.
