CEO’s Corner: May 2021
As we begin the month of May, Ontario remains at home under a lockdown order. In recent days while the number of new Covid cases has marginally improved in our Province, there is a mounting uneasiness as fear sets in for the safety of family and loved ones. As parents juggle schedules between working and caregiving, many are hopeful for renewed summer freedoms, day trip adventures, starry skies traveling in an RV and roasting marshmallows by the lake at the cottage.

With the shine of a New Year over, February is always a unique month. The cold air has gripped Ontario and the dark grey skies of winter have taken hold. We joyfully get excited when a beautiful sunlit painted sky graces our days, because we are all definitely ready for Spring. If you are like me, I surround myself with plants and greenery, and maybe treat myself to the odd bouquet of tulips, just to inject some energy and joy into these drawn out wintery days. Right now at times, many can feel overwhelmed navigating work and now remote school worlds colliding at home.
