While winter in Huron/Perth can sometimes feel like it will never end, it inevitably does, and green grass will be here before we know it.

I feel that we were blessed with a long and sunny autumn, with temperatures in the double-digits right until mid-November, which will make the piles of snow they are predicting easier to deal with, and, with just a bit of effort, even enjoy!

There are many winter activities to take advantage of, even if you aren’t the outdoorsy type. Stockpile good books, attack that last of classic movies, or catch up with old friends. There might even be a trip somewhere that winter looks a lot different than Huron and Perth, complete with cocktails by a pool, to look forward to.

Featured in this issue we have a very important article by staff at Goderich Place about protecting yourself and your loved ones from fraud, as scammers are becoming more sophisticated all the time. Also featured is a group of intrepid adventurers who share their story of winter camping in the Torrance Barren Reserve. We’re happy to include an article by Dr. Al Lauzon about ageism in our society and how it’s now impacting Boomers, while Amanda Modaragamage writes about the importance of intergenerational relationships. Finally, Mandy Sinclair shares her expertise and experience of travelling through Morocco, a definite must for your bucket list!

I hope you all have a safe and healthy winter, however you choose to enjoy it.
