We are now welcoming the beautiful fall season with its annual display of panoramic colours, cooler weather and the apple trees are dropping their ripe fruit to be collected for all kinds of apple treats and preserves. Hunters are preparing for the annual moose hunt as we . . .
bid farewell to summer. The seasons come and go and we adapt to each change and there is always something to look forward to in the coming days, a birthday, making a new friendship, the birth of a child, the wisdom of an elder or renewing an old friendship.

In the news this week, there are many articles relating to the ongoing struggle with the COVID-19 pandemic, in particular, the sudden rise in COVID-19 cases in both Quebec and Ontario. Both provinces have reacted with plans and have introduced more restricted regulations to limit the number of people who can gather in private and public settings. There has been much speculation that we may be witnessing the dreaded onset of a second wave of COVID-19 infections. Let us all do our part to protect each other and hold this virus in check until a vaccine or treatment can be developed to deal more effectively with the virus itself.
