There’s plenty to do this spring!
Publisher's note by Amy Irwin
An early spring was predicted by Wiarton’s famous groundhog, but it’s hard to say if Willie was right because the weeks after Groundhog Day were a wild mix of snow, rain, freezing rain and repeat! Hopefully our crazy Grey/Bruce weather will straighten around as predicted and the kids can get out on their bikes again!
Sometimes it’s hard to remember all the great things there are to do in our region, especially after we’ve been hibernating since November. Be sure to check out the family friendly and fantastic maple syrup festivals in the area (Page 4), as well as all the great March Break activities for the kids. A full listing can be found in our Events section on Page 29.
In this issue we’ve covered a great cross-section of topics for parents, from breastfeeding to tax tips, to nutrition and second career training.
In our feature story, we explore the YMCA Youth Justice Committee’s Justice Circle, a different way for young offenders to repay their debt to society and their victims instead of going through the regular criminal court process. By putting the offender, their parents and their victims all in the same room, it gives the offender a chance to look their victim in the eye and apologize, while seeing how their actions have harmed their victims and disappointed their parents.
Finally, we are thrilled to announced Corbin Cuneo as the first winner of the ‘Cool Kids’ contest, sponsored by Grey-Bruce Kids and the Owen Sound Attack! Be sure to read about all the ways Corbin is a Cool Kid (Page 16). We had a lot of great entries in the contest and it was very difficult to pick a winner. Thank you to all who entered – we think you are all very special kids!
If you know of a Cool Kid in your community, be sure to check out the back page or www.greybrucekids.com for all the details on how to enter for our Summer issue.
Once again, thanks to all our contributors and advertisers, who have been incredibly supportive for the first six issues of our magazine. Dwight and I could not do this without them, so we hope our readers do all they can to support them in return!
