I remember my father-in-law, Walter Block, sharing a number of years ago, how as a young boy he would head off across the white field of freshly fallen snow towards the old school house with certain determination to walk as straight a line as he could!  After he had walked a while, he would turn around to look back at the track he had left in the previously unmarked snow and discovered just how crooked his tracks really were!

Brandon resident, Sandra Couling, has loved her new hot tub right from the day she bought it this past fall at Arctic Spas, a new shop on Industrial Drive, Brandon!

Little did she know just a few months later she would be winning the grand prize draw of $10,000 from one of her favourite 'hot' spots!

"I was shocked! I've never won anything!" shares Couling, "And then right before Christmas I win $10,000, so I was just dumbfounded. It took a few days to sink in!"

You know you’ve found someplace exciting when the co-owners style themselves “Director of Awesomeness” and “Director of Extraordinaire.”

And when their business lives up to the creative descriptors.

Not a lot of patients approach their dental appointments with enthusiasm. Dentistry, as a branch of medicine, might have made impressive strides toward patient comfort in recent years, but visits are often still accompanied by some anxiety.

For Dr. Mir Dawood, that might be down to practice styles that in many cases remain impersonal.

I used to buy into the whole “new year, new me”. At the end of December, I’d be full of hopes about what the next year would look like and make a list of my resolutions for the year: I’d spend less time on my phone and read more books. I’d drink more water, eat healthier, and be more active. I’d finally get fluent in the new language I was trying to learn. I’d start meal planning and prepping and keep my house more organized. I’d be a better mom and wife. And of course, I would read my Bible every day too.

“We wanted to make life easier for our customers and their pocketbooks.”  

This from Stan Hiebert, General Manager at Titanium Mechanical.  

“We felt that we needed to look into buying in bulk to get the consumers a better price, because people are hurting financially, due to rising food costs and interest rates.” 

Success in business can be attributed to many reasons, and at Fairway Ford, one sits top of the list – community.   

“We can't do anything without the community behind us, and in turn, we want to be servants and give back and help where we can,” says John Verret, General Manager of Fairway Ford. “It's a great partnership.”  

Let me ask you a question…“Are you ready?”

Well, you might say, “For What?” and that would be a completely reasonable question. Of course, the answer totally depends on the context in which it’s asked.  

If I knock on my kid’s door at 8:30 Monday morning and ask, “Are you Ready?” I mean: Aare you dressed? Do you have your lunch kit? Is your homework done? and Have you put on deodorant? Are you ready to go to school.
