"Great day - lots of networking. Excellent information, lots of useable ideas". That's what past participants have said about the Business Enterprise Centre's annual Bridges to Better Business event. What more could a local business person want? The 12th of these signature events will be Wednesday, October 7th, from 11to 4:30 at the Bayshore Community Centre.

Just before I switched off the radio to get back to work, a country singer crooned, "If you don't know where you're goin', you might end up somewhere else." This line resonated with a conversation about "life's mission" that I was part of on Saturday.
Taking an afternoon drive to see the changing leaves, we can make random turns as long as we keep a sense of how to get home. When, on the other hand, the road trip has a mission, when we are headed for a particular place, random turns will take us on detours. We have to keep the goal in mind.

Let's Learn Kindergarten Registration in Bruce-Grey begins next week for children who will start school in September 2016. Families of children born in 2012 (for Junior Kindergarten) and children born in 2011 (for Senior Kindergarten) are encouraged to register now.
