PUBLISHER'S MESSAGE
Hello Autumn!
This issue marks an exciting new season, along with the vibrant changing of colours, we also have a few changes in our team.
I’m excited to welcome Janice, our latest talent to join our editorial staff, and a heartfelt farewell to Jill, as she furthers her career in fashion retail – all the very best to you both. In this issue we also say a fond goodbye to our LOL section, but worry not… we will continue to enjoy Shannon Linden’s amazing writing talent in many more entertaining and informative articles in future editions of OKW.
We all enjoy spending summer here in the Okanagan, but when the seasons change, it’s fun exploring new places around the World. For your next travel destination hot spot; see what our well-travelled writer, Laura Gosset, has to say about ‘Rocking the Kasbah’ in the exotic kingdom of Morocco.
It’s so important to take care of ourselves and getting the right amount of sleep allows us to look and feel our best, rest assured we have an article to help you do exactly that!
We use ‘gut instincts’ for many choices in life, so how about listening to our gut for decisions about what we put into our bodies. Nutritionist, Tania Gustafson, reveals the good, the bad and the healthy ways to achieve and maintain optimal gut health.
The Okanagan is home to so many courageous and inspiring women, and in this issue, we are happy to shine a light on a couple of first-class female firefighters, see how they measure up in their challenging career.
How lucky we are to live in this wonderful country, and in October many of us will be sitting down to a Thanksgiving dinner. Why not try a few of our interesting appetizers, savoury sides and comforting desserts to enjoy with your family and friends.
Wishing you all a plentiful harvest, a nutritious Thanksgiving and a howling Halloween
Cheers,
Suzy
