ASSISTANT VICE PRESIDENT’S NOTE

’Tis the season


There is no time of the year when we enjoy good food and good company more than during the holidays. That’s why this issue features some of our regional suppliers and the great items they bring to your table. From Golden Bonbon’s nougat candies in British Columbia to seasonal roasts of coffee in the Maritimes, our cover story showcases some of the smaller businesses our buying teams work with.

I can tell you that all of our employees across Canada are focused on bringing you the great items you enjoy this time of year. Whether you need party appetizers or ingredients for a family feast, we are working hard to deliver just what you need for all of your special moments with family and friends. And the good food just keeps coming! Be sure to try a recipe from this issue.

Gathering around the table is a form of entertainment in my home, but if you’re looking for other indoor activities now that the weather has turned, have a look at this issue’s Special Section, For Your Entertainment. Perhaps you’re looking to create a family rec room or have visions of reading a good book, playing a favourite instrument or taking on a new video game.

It is very important in the hustle and bustle of the holidays that you take time to care for yourself. Our For Your Health section provides advice on managing fatigue, especially during this busy time of year. And as the sun becomes ever more elusive, you can read about the importance of getting enough vitamin D.

From all of us on the Connection staff, may all your days this holiday season be merry and bright.
