Congratulations Andrew G., winner of a $50 gift card from Era 67!

Congratulations to all of the winning bidders in our +member flash auction held over the weekend. Just a reminder that we will be in touch regarding fulfilment once the provincially mandated lock down and stay at home orders have been lifted.

Columnist Erika Engel talks about some of the passion projects that she has put her time and effort into during the pandemic and its lockdowns. We wanted to hear from you as well: Have you explored a new hobby or developed a thirst for something entirely different? 

In addition, community editor Dave Dawson weighs in on some of the oddities associated with the current provincial lockdown. While most rational people understand why it's important, the rationale behind some of the decisions related to this lockdown are hard to fathom.
