New Year, New Neighbours: Why I’m Mourning The Loss Of My Friends Next-Door

April 17, 2017 by Erin Silver Leave a Comment

I know that change is supposed to be good—it’s what I tell my kids, anyway—but ever since my next-door neighbours moved two weeks ago, I haven’t been able to get over the loss. I didn’t expect to be so emotional, nor did I realize I’d grown so attached, but this family is extraordinary. They … [Read more...]

Labour Day is the New New Year’s Day (The Final Chapter – With Video)

Canada Day Neighbourhood-style

July 4, 2011 by Tracey

As I'd finally become a citizen just days before Canada Day, there were lots of well-wishes and congratulations coming my way from our neighbours... there were small Canadian flags stuck in my garden and on my door, with red pinwheels whirling in the wind on our front lawn. I received cards and a … [Read more...]

Social Networking. Not just a virtual thing.

June 30, 2008 by Jen

Marketers often spend a lot of time analyzing and strategizing about online social media - the power of social networking, the trend of online communities. I, of course, support this fully and completely. However, put aside the often present self-important navel gazing for a moment and at the core … [Read more...]
