Weathering the storm<br />
Who would have predicted that I would be penning yet another pandemic Publisher’s<br />
Note, 18 months after the world first shut down “for two weeks.” The year-and-a-half<br />
since has been challenging on so many fronts for many people – everyone has been<br />
affected in some way.<br />
A quote I heard that resonated with me is, “We are not all in the same boat, but we are<br />
all in the same storm.” I hope that your boat is keeping afloat and this storm will soon<br />
pass!<br />
A bright light (besides the fact school is back for in-person learning!) is that we are<br />
back in print! We transitioned to publishing exclusively online last summer, and<br />
though I was hopeful it would just be for an issue or two, it has been five since<br />
we’ve been able to hold the magazine in our hands. Thank you to our loyal readers<br />
and advertisers who kept us going – it was our honour to continue to provide our<br />
demographic with relevant, meaningful and local content during such trying times.<br />

In this issue we are proud to feature some awesome articles. Sarah Irwin explains ‘Love<br />
Languages’ and how to use them with family. Sarah Foster talks to local women with<br />
careers in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) about how to recognize<br />
and encourage your daughter’s interest in these non-traditional roles.<br />
Getting back on track with healthy eating and making good choices after a busy<br />
summer is always a challenge – especially during COVID – and Jennifer MacTavish<br />
educates us on a some great tips to keep kids healthy.<br />
Local finance expert Michele Mannerow helps us to plan our savings, while Rebekkah<br />
Williams writes about how to help our kids process disruptions and potential traumas<br />
associated with the ongoing pandemic.<br />
Once again, I thank you for your continued<br />
support of <strong>Grey</strong>-<strong>Bruce</strong> <strong>Kids</strong> magazine, and I<br />
wish you and your family a safe and healthy<br />
fall!<br />
