Tell us what you’re thankful for

Did you know that consciously naming what you are grateful for has real mental health benefits? Next week we will focus the Town Crier newsletter on being thankful.

What are you thankful for this year? Did a neighbour drop off groceries while you were isolating? Or maybe you are thankful for all the wonderful sunsets we saw this past summer. Send us a picture or a couple brief sentences to share what you’re most thankful for this season. Thankful submissions can be sent to: submissions@explorefenelonfalls.com.

Thanks in advance!

Back to School?

Submission by Marina Hodson

It seems unbelievable to think that part of our children’s’ supply list should contain hand sanitizer and face masks, and yet, here we are. So while times are new to all of us, there are some basic guidelines to protect your children and family and hopefully help you make the school year as stress-free as possible, given the circumstances.
