I hope everyone had a nice Easter. I was treated to a few feasts over the course of the weekend. Included among them were a steak BBQ, a roasted chicken and a baked ham meal. All delicious and enjoyed and much appreciated. It’s nice to enjoy someone else’s cooking, besides my own.

The Easter weekend was a start to a week off for our students and teaching staff. With the weather cooperating for the most part - at least up till Thursday anyway, it has turned out to be a fairly nice week. I have noticed lots of youngsters as well as adults out and about enjoying the outdoors.

It’s unfortunate to hear that because of the rising number of Covid cases, the “powers that be” decided it was necessary to claw back and implement more restrictions this week. It is most certainly going to be the cause of many differences of opinion. In this region of the province having fairly low if any cases at all , there is certainly a lot of controversy on the subject.
