Remembrance Day 2022 This post was originally published on November 10, 2021… I carry the sentiments with me every day. “They sacrificed their tomorrows, for our todays.” Oh, so many “Theys”… I don’t remember ever not attending or observing a November 11th ceremony. When I was younger, we went to the Alberni District Senior Secondary …
I hope you had a magical holiday season, family, friends, and colleagues, even if it didn’t look like what we’ve known and loved in the past. I hope you found bright spots and happy times that filled your soul and energized you for the year ahead. As we launch into 2022 I’m curious; are your …
