Ten years. One decade. For a child, 10 years is a lifetime. For someone turning 100, it’s a gift. For wine, it’s a goal. For a car, it’s time to start shopping.
For our family at Grey-Bruce Boomers, it’s a proud milestone that we are celebrating with this issue. When we launched our first publication, Grey-Bruce Kids, 13 years ago, we received feedback from the grandparents of Grey/Bruce that there should be a magazine for the over-50 age group. Three years later, in 2014, we published the first issue of Grey-Bruce Boomers, which I timed with my youngest starting Junior Kindergarten. She’s now in Grade 9. The days are long, but the years are short.
I want to thank our loyal readers, both old and new, our writers, graphic designers Becky Grebenjak and Jess Beaty, our distributors, and of course our advertisers, without whom we couldn’t provide this free publication to adults 50+ across Grey and Bruce counties.
In this issue you will find an interesting Bucket List feature about a Saugeen Shores woman who turned a past tragedy into a career in comedy. Also featured is group of intrepid adventurers who share their story of winter camping under the stars in the Torrance Barren Reserve. A healthy gut’s role in a longer life is the focus of Amanda Modaragamage’s story. Dan Herrick of Grey Bruce Makers writes about the importance of not-for-profits changing their mindset to one of ‘yes’. Finally, readers will take a trip to Phoenix with Jill Ellis-Worthington.
I hope you all have a safe and healthy winter and thanks for 10 wonderful years!
