Toccata, Inc., the Saskatchewan-based technology company behind CabinPulse remote monitoring systems, today announced the official launch of CabinPulse Cares, a charitable initiative providing free monitoring devices and service to qualifying non-profit organizations, community centres, and charitable institutions across Canada.
The program addresses a critical need for community organizations operating on limited budgets while protecting valuable community assets from Canada's extreme weather conditions. From prairie blizzards to coastal storms, Canadian communities face unique environmental challenges that can cause costly damage through temperature extremes, power outages, and other environmental threats. This need is particularly acute in rural communities, where strong community spaces often serve as vital gathering points but may lack reliable internet infrastructure.
" We believe every community space deserves protection," said Noah Little, a representative from Toccata, Inc. " Many of the organizations that serve as the backbone of our communities – churches, volunteer fire departments, food banks, and community centres – operate on limited budgets while providing essential services. Through CabinPulse Cares, we're ensuring these vital spaces have the same level of protection as any commercial property."
Program Details
Qualifying organizations receive a complete protection package at no charge including:
One CabinPulse monitoring device (valued at $199 CAD)
Three years of monitoring service with unlimited alerts and data (valued at $360 CAD)
Free setup support and dedicated assistance
The combined value of over $500 represents a significant investment in property protection. The device monitors temperature, humidity, power outages, and air quality without requiring any existing wireless infrastructure like WiFi, making it perfect for rural community buildings, remote locations, or facilities with limited internet connectivity. The cellular-connected device can provide instant alerts via text and email to multiple people when issues are detected, helping prevent damage from frozen pipes, power failures, or environmental hazards – especially critical during Canada's harsh winters.
Eligible Organizations
CabinPulse Cares is available exclusively to Canadian organizations including:
Places of worship
Volunteer fire departments and emergency services
Community centres and senior centres
Food banks and community kitchens
Shelters and transitional housing
Youth organizations and social service providers
Supporting Canadian Communities
The program reflects Toccata's commitment to giving back to the communities that make Canada strong. From bustling urban centres to remote rural towns, Canadian communities are defined by their resilience and the vital spaces where people gather. By focusing on organizations that provide essential services, CabinPulse Cares helps ensure that community spaces remain operational and protected year-round, particularly during harsh Canadian winters when environmental monitoring becomes critical for preventing costly damage. The system's ability to operate without existing wireless infrastructure makes it uniquely suited for rural and remote community buildings that form the heart of Canada's smaller communities.
Application Process
Organizations are invited to apply online at cabinpulse.com/cares. Applications are reviewed monthly, with recipients selected based on community impact and demonstrated need. The streamlined application asks organizations to describe their mission, community impact, and how remote monitoring would benefit their operations.

Julie Mai Leads the Charge in Revolutionizing PCOS Care in Toronto through July Health

Julie Mai, registered dietitian and founder of July Health, is redefining PCOS care in Toronto. Her neurofriendly approach supports physical, mental, and emotional health, especially for those with ADHD, offering a compassionate, inclusive model that meets the diverse needs of individuals with PCOS. Toronto, Canada - June 21, 2025 - In a city where women with PCOS often face inadequate care and stigma, Julie Mai, a Toronto-based registered dietitian, is leading a movement to change the way PCOS is treated. As the founder of July Health, a groundbreaking platform offering PCOS treatment in Toronto through a personalized, holistic approach, Julie is tackling the systemic gaps in care with her unique focus on neurodivergent PCOS care, hormonal health for women, and trauma-informed PCOS support. Julie's career has been shaped by both her clinical expertise and her lived experience with PCOS and ADHD. She understands the frustration that comes from navigating an overwhelmed healthcare system, where PCOS therapy often focuses solely on weight management and fails to address the complex hormonal and mental health aspects of the condition. Through July Health, Julie provides an inclusive and compassionate approach to PCOS care, creating a virtual clinic that is changing the landscape of healthcare for women in Toronto. Transforming PCOS Care with a Holistic Approach For Julie, PCOS support extends beyond traditional treatments. July Health's core philosophy is rooted in PCOS-friendly diets, mental health, and neurodivergent PCOS care, which helps women who experience not only physical symptoms but also executive dysfunction and the mental health challenges linked to ADHD and hormone imbalance. 'Our approach is centered on understanding how hormones, mental health, and lifestyle intersect,' says Julie.

The platform's multidisciplinary PCOS support offers a comprehensive service that includes expert dietitians, mental health professionals, and social workers who collaborate to deliver a weight-neutral approach to PCOS care. Julie has always been a strong advocate for holistic PCOS treatment. She emphasizes that the physical symptoms of PCOS, such as irregular periods, weight gain, and acne, are often compounded by mental health struggles, making a full-spectrum approach to care essential. 'PCOS care should never be just about weight loss. We focus on addressing all aspects of a person's health, including mental well-being, stress management, and emotional support, helping women feel empowered to live their healthiest lives,' Julie adds. Innovative Care for a New Generation Through July Health's platform, Julie is also appealing to the growing demand for feminist health tech. Her work has found particular resonance with Gen Z, who are reshaping the conversation about health, mental well-being, and body image. By combining feminist health tech with neurodivergent PCOS care, she's helping the next generation of women reject outdated healthcare paradigms and embrace a care model that centers their needs and experiences. Julie's work with July Health is also pushing the boundaries of what healthcare can be. Through PCOS peer support networks and community engagement, she is fostering a grassroots movement in Toronto and beyond, where women come together to share experiences, support each other, and advocate for better care. Client-Centered, Compassionate Care The results of Julie's approach are already evident. Clients rave about the transformation experienced under July Health's care. 'Highly recommend Julie, very happy with my experience,' shares a verified female client from Toronto through her Lumino Health profile. 'Thorough, positive, deep and candid discussion focused on providing a workable and realistic plan,' says another verified client through Lumino Health. Julie Mai's Vision for the Future Looking ahead, Julie plans to expand the services offered through July Health, including psychotherapy and more interdisciplinary care models involving nurse practitioners. The platform will continue to grow and innovate, offering more personalized support for women with PCOS. In addition to providing top-notch PCOS support, Julie is advocating for better training for healthcare providers, pushing for an approach that integrates nutrition, psychology, trauma, and hormonal health. She envisions a future where healthcare professionals understand the psychosocial impact of PCOS and treat women holistically rather than focusing solely on weight or isolated symptoms. Julie's work continues to create ripple effects within the healthcare system, transforming the way PCOS is understood and treated in Toronto. Her vision is one where women are not just treated—but also heard, empowered, and respected throughout their care journey.

Auditor general plans to examine Canada's international students program

The federal auditor general plans to audit Canada's international students program in 2026. Auditor general Karen Hogan speaks during a news conference on Monday, Dec. 2, 2024. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Adrian Wyld OTTAWA — The federal auditor general is planning a probe of Canada's international students program after critics claimed that public services were ill-equipped to take on a surge in student visas. A spokesperson for auditor general Karen Hogan says her office is planning an audit of the program for 2026. That review is in the early stages and details of its scope and timelines are still pending. News of the planned audit was first reported by the Globe and Mail. Critics argue Canada's rapid increase in international student admissions over recent years drove up youth unemployment and worsened the housing crisis. The federal Liberal government put a cap on study permit applications last fall and plans to consult on future student intake levels this summer. By Craig Lord.

Fredericton mobile outreach van to run 24/7 thanks to federal funding

An outreach team run out of a Sprinter van is now working around the clock thanks to funding through a federal overdose prevention fund. "With the teamwork and the smarts that we have here in Fredericton, along with the support that we've received from the federal government, I am confident that this project is going to have a meaningful life changing impact," said Fredericton Mayor Kate Rogers. The funding will expand the hours of the mobile outreach team, which helps to connect those living rough to services, administers and distributes naloxone kits, and provides addictions support. The van was purchased by the City of Fredericton and is run by the John Howard Society of Fredericton. Six new staff members will be hired and trained in mental-health first aid, trauma informed care, overdose prevention and suicide intervention. John Barrow, executive director of the John Howard Society, said the team now works with about 200 people a day and 30 people a night. The daytime service has been in place for nearly a decade. "I think the biggest thing is to meet people where they're at," Barrow said. "A lot of times when they're requesting intervention or support services, the time to do it is in the moment." "We've got a team now that can respond to folks who are directly on the streets at the point when they want the intervention. That's the time to strike." The funding comes from the Emergency Treatment Fund and is one of four programs in Atlantic Canada receiving a total of $2.8 million. Miramichi, Amherst, Nova Scotia, and St. John's are the other three communities receiving funding for community programs, but neither the Fredericton event nor the news release included any details about what those programs are. The Fredericton portion of the funding is $578,100. Fredericton addictions outreach van to go 24/7 21 minutes ago Federal Health Minister Marjorie Michelle was in Fredericton for the announcement and confirmed the funding is only for one year, after which the program will be "reassessed." "We don't know, you know, in a year where we will be with this crisis, is it going to improve? Is it going to be a big one? So we will adapt," she said. "We need to understand talking about mental health challenges, those crises, it cannot be solved in one day. We collectively have to improve access for people to get not only emergency [services], but also treatment and what works for them." Rogers was quick to say the City of Fredericton will enure the program receives the funding it needs. "I'm certain it will demonstrate that it has had an impact," she said. "When you work with a trusted organization like John Howard, I think we all work together to see how we can continue to support that project. We have been supporting them, locally, provincially and I know the federal government will now see proof of concept in this work." Roger said she is "confident that we will see ongoing support for this project."
