A Different Road
At times during his early years, Arthur Labatt felt like an observer of his own life: What was he supposed to do next? Where would his decisions take him? How would it all turn out? Labatt was born into privilege, the youngest child of John Sackville Labatt, who, with his brother, Hugh, ran the family-owned brewery John Labatt Limited in London, Ontario. Arthur spent his youth looking forward to, and enjoying, summers at Port Stanley on Lake Erie and Camp Ahmek in Algonquin Park. He was only vaguely aware of the shadow cast over his family by the famous kidnapping of his father in 1934.

Teammates
Depuis plus de 5 ans, Colin McGregor est chroniqueur en français pour le magazine d’information et de sensibilisation Reflet de Société. Colin a ensuite été le traducteur de deux livres, Quebec Suicide Prevention Handbook et Love in 3 D, leur permettant de passer du français à l’anglais. Maintenant Colin vient de publier son premier livre en solo, un roman, Teammates, en version originale anglophone.

This is the story of Bill Putnam, whose downward trajectory we first begin to trace in the late 1970s, and his friends Rudy and Max. Teammates, their paths will cross in ways they never dreamt of in the happier days of their youth.
Quebec Suicide Prevention Handbook
There is no one set formula for why decent people come to consider suicide. Each comes to the edge of their personal cliff in their unique way. The journey a person takes from loss to suicide is for most people - especially for youth - the same down ward spiral. The trajectory is remarkably similar similar - and preventable, if help is offered soon enough, is caring, humane manner. Raymond Viger, writer, activist, is veteran of over 20 years working as a suicide prevention counselor in Montreal and in Quebec's for northern communities. His franch-language handbooks have helped thousands. To produce this English adaptation he teams with Colin McGregor, journalist and teacher, whose 23 years' experience as detainee in some of Canada's grimmest prisons lend this work depth. The knowledge and techniques in this handbook are meant to be used in any crisis situation: a valuable resource for interveners and sufferers alike.

Leaders du monde communautaire
Malgré la gigantesque attention qu’ont reçue les «leaders» et le leadership au cours des dernières années, il a rarement été question des acteurs du monde communautaire et associatif. Pourtant, ces personnes, qui travaillent parfois sans ressources, sans autorité, sans statut, parviennent à exercer une influence majeure sur ceux qui les entourent. Cet ouvrage propose de remédier à cet oubli et de mettre en lumière douze «leaders» du monde communautaire et associatif en s’intéressant à leur parcours, leur manière d’agir, de diriger, bref, à leur leadership.
Sous un berceau d'étoiles
« Jean-Simon Brisebois nous revient en force avec son douzième recueil aux Éditions TNT. Il revient sur les blessures de son enfance, sa guérison, son amour de la vie. Avec douleur, passion et douceur, il nous propose une incursion dans un univers où les ombres s’effacent peu à peu pour laisser place à la lumière.» - Sylvain Turner
