If we ever needed an example of how we are all connected around the world and Prince George is part of that connection to everyone, everywhere on Earth, the COVID-19 pandemic has certainly provided that.

A brief comment on COVID-19. A sign on the way into my local grocery store caught my eye as intended today. It basically stated to not bring reusable bags into the store.

Mr. Godbout,I read your very thoughtful editorial ( Challenging medical authorities ) today and was immensely grateful for it. I am terrified thinking how vulnerable the Northern B.C. population is - particularly First Nations.

It’s guaranteed that when all of this is over, there will be detailed and painful reviews into the government response, particularly at the federal and provincial levels, to the pandemic.

There are 19 business days in April and what better way to spend time in our social distancing work spaces then to come up with 19 things you and your team could do that would make a difference for your business, your staff, and your community.

I was half-listening to listening to some old songs the other day and my ears perked up at Delta Dawn, sung by Tanya Tucker, and it took me on a trip down memory lane. My Grade 4 teacher wasn’t the greatest teacher. His style was worksheets for math.

This is indeed an extremely challenging time on our planet. The grave uncertainty and fear around where the COVID-19 will take us is affecting everyone.

At times of great uncertainty, I used to say, “Just walk another 10 feet and you’ll know more.” How I wish that were true now. It’s more like 200 feet or more in this unprecedented time in world history.

It is always good to rediscover an excellent book, especially in these times. I recently borrowed The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz from my local library to have an audiobook to listen to when going for daily walks with my dog.

I was stopped on a small goat trail high up near the peak of Mount Fitzwilliam in the summer of 1996 following my buddy Terry Brock and for a moment I was frozen. I could neither go forwards and I knew that I couldn’t go backwards.
