Patron of the arts Dr. Janusz Dukszta was famous for his Toronto soirées

A psychiatrist, politician and patron of the arts, Janusz Dukszta was a man of many faces – literally. His two-bedroom apartment, on the edge of Toronto’s exclusive Rosedale neighbourhood, was filled with paintings, many of them portraits of himself, sometimes alone, sometimes with friends and family. They were hung everywhere, higgledy-piggledy, on walls, suspended from the ceiling, or mounted three-deep over packed bookshelves.

Toronto psychiatrist Janusz Dukszta threw parties at his home where guests who might not otherwise meet would gather.

It was not narcissism that prompted Dr. Dukszta to commission such portraits, but rather a desire to support artists who were starting their careers, and a deep-seated curiosity about the process of transformation and transcendence. How would others see him? Serious and natty in one of his many Savile Row-tailored suits, or posing in the nude, it did not matter. As he told this newspaper in 2010, “I am much more interesting than a vase or a mandolin.”

Alberta schools are overcrowded as province struggles to keep up with population growth

18 septembre 2025 à 04:15
Kira Schulz and her daughter Skyelar Schmidt walk through the grounds of École Edwards Elementary School in Airdrie, Alta., on July 4. Ms. Schulz is concerned about overcrowding in schools after learning that her daughter Skyelar's school will convert its library and music room into classrooms to accommodate rising enrolment.

Kira Schulz is standing in the field behind her daughter’s elementary school in the Alberta city of Airdrie and trying to make sense of space.

If the school adds modular classrooms to accommodate new students – the local school division has asked the government for several – where will the children play, Ms. Schulz wonders.

Quebec to scale back free COVID-19 shots this fall after Alberta limits eligibility

17 septembre 2025 à 18:24
It will cost between $150 and $180 to receive a shot if an individual is not eligible for free COVID-19 vaccination, according to AQPP.

Quebec has become the second Canadian province after Alberta that will no longer provide free vaccination against COVID-19 for all its population.

Instead, only certain categories of people will still receive the shot at no cost: seniors, health care workers, residents of remote regions and medically vulnerable patients.
