It's Thanksgiving this coming weekend. As a team, we are so thankful for so many blessings that have been bestowed upon us.

But it has been quite the year, quite the last 19 months, hasn't it? A time that will never be forgotten, nor the lessons from it. Everything has changed, and yet, there is SO much to be thankful for, so much to reflect on. Thanksgiving is a perfect time to do so.

Personally, I am thankful for my health, my family, the wonderful career I am privileged to be involved in, a safe place to live and sleep, a strong community of friends and colleagues, and enough healthy food to share and enjoy with others.

As I and the team reflect, we know that the past 19 months have been less than kind to many. The challenges of isolation, job loss, health, and COVID19 stresses are still at an all-time high.

Many Ottawa residents will not be able to afford a Thanksgiving meal this year at all. It may be your neighbour, or mine.

Let's all be a beacon of generosity this Thanksgiving and make a difference. Our team would appreciate your donation, large or small to The Ottawa Food Bank.

We chose this way of helping because a $1 donation buys $5 of food for those less fortunate than us right now. Food and fund drives, provide the Ottawa Food Bank with the necessary resources to sustain their programs and ensure that a supply of emergency food is available to those who may need it. And they need us more than ever this year.

Help us fill your neighbours plates with food and their hearts with gratitude this Thanksgiving! I for one will feel much better sitting down to our family Thanksgiving dinner, knowing I helped someone else have one too.

Thank you.
Lorie, Michael, Martin, Elan, Keegan and Andrew
