Ross (the Boss) of NDG's Blog

  This past week, while sitting at what has become my "office"—the two park benches outside Metro Grocers on Somerled—I met a wonderful gentleman named Younes from Morocco. As we talked, he shared stories of traveling throughout the world. Then he made an observation that gave me pause. He told me that, in his experience, the people of Montreal seem less friendly than those in many other places he has visited. He asked me why that might be. I thought about his question for a moment. The truth is, I don't really care why. I'd much rather help change it. Every great transformation begins with one small action. Before communities build great parks, solve difficult problems, or launch inspiring initiatives, they are built one relationship at a time. One conversation. One act of kindness. One smile. Imagine if every person in NDG made one simple commitment. Whenever we passed another person on the sidewalk, we smiled. Whenever we entered a store, we greeted the staff. When...

   Become a Block Captain – Help Transform NDG, One Neighbourhood at a Time!  Imagine living in a neighbourhood where neighbours truly know one another... where no senior is forgotten, no family struggles alone, children grow up surrounded by caring adults, and kindness becomes the defining characteristic of our community. That is the vision behind  A NuVo World , and it begins with one simple step:  Block Captains. I'm looking for caring, compassionate people from every block in NDG who would like to become the heart of their own neighbourhood. What does a Block Captain do? A Block Captain isn't a politician or an authority figure. Rather, they are a friend, a connector, and a catalyst for positive change. Their role is to: • Welcome new neighbours and help them feel at home. • Get to know the people living on their block. • Check in on seniors and those who may be isolated. • Help identify families or individuals who could use a helping hand. • Organize occasi...

Introducing My New Book – A NuVo World: The Awakening of Heaven on Earth Dear Friends and Family, I am very proud and excited to introduce my new book: A NuVo World: The Awakening of Heaven on Earth This book represents years of reflection, vision, faith, and hope for the future of humanity.

There are moments in a man’s life when he begins to understand that the road he has traveled was never truly random. The victories. The heartbreaks. The visions. The long nights. The ridicule. The perseverance. The prayers whispered when no one else was listening. All of it was preparing something greater than himself. As I look back upon my life, I do not see a perfect man. I see a man who kept walking. A man who kept believing. A man who refused to let the light within him die — even when the world around him often seemed dark and uncertain. And perhaps that, more than anything else, will become my legacy. Not wealth. Not status. Not recognition. But faithfulness to the visions God placed upon my heart. For more than two decades now, I have carried within me ideas and dreams that often felt impossibly large. Since that profound experience in December of 2003 — my time “on the mountain with God” — I have lived with the deep conviction that humanity is not moving toward...

  There are moments in life when the veil between Heaven and Earth grows thin. Moments when a person realizes that what they are experiencing is not simply personal struggle, ambition, imagination, or even hope — but the quiet unfolding of something much greater than themselves. For me, that moment began in December of 2003. High upon a mountain, in a place beyond ordinary explanation, I experienced God in a way that changed the course of my life forever. What I was shown was not merely for me. It was for humanity. It was a glimpse of what this world could become when mankind begins to live not through fear, greed, division, and despair — but through love, compassion, creativity, community, and faith. Ever since that day, I have lived with a fire inside of me. A knowing. A calling. A burden. And also a great joy. Through many struggles, many losses, many seasons of isolation, and many moments when the vision appeared impossible, one truth has remained constant: God is pre...

In December of 2003, I was taken to the mountain with God. There are moments in a human life that cannot be explained through ordinary language. Moments that transcend reason, intellect, and even memory itself. Moments where the veil between Heaven and Earth becomes impossibly thin. What happened to me there was not born of religion, ideology, fantasy, or ambition. It was an encounter with something eternal — something alive beyond this world. On that mountain, I was shown visions that did not originate from mankind. I was shown a future humanity has forgotten is possible. I was shown that the systems governing this world — systems rooted in greed, fear, scarcity, division, loneliness, and endless competition — are not mankind’s final destination. They are temporary structures built upon a wounded understanding of who we are and why we exist. I was shown that humanity was never meant to live imprisoned by money, debt, hunger, homelessness, isolation, despair, and spiritual emptines...
