Be prepared for a theatrical experience that will take your breath away! Shen Yun Performing Arts is returning to

Shen Yun’s tour of Canada in 2023 drew many appreciative comments from audience members.

Vancouver Queen Elizabeth Theatre from March 20–25, bringing the majestic traditions of ancient China to the stage once again in an all-new show.

Shen Yun, which means “the beauty of divine beings dancing,” has been playing in Vancouver annually since 2006 and has become one of the city’s most beloved and anticipated entertainment spectacles.

Based in New York, Shen Yun was founded by a group of leading Chinese dancers, choreographers, and musicians in the United States who endeavoured to foster cultural renewal by reviving the authentic artistic traditions of China’s rich 5,000-year history. Shen Yun has become a global phenomenon due to its authentic depiction of China’s traditional culture through music and dance. It has eight companies, each with its own orchestra, that tour simultaneously across four continents every year. Its performances portray the essence of Chinese arts and culture which are marked by a devotion to virtue, kindness, loyalty, good character, and a reverence for the divine.

“It was just done so, so professionally that I was simply immersed—I was completely immersed in this wonderful experience. It was a very educational experience. It was a very cultural experience, but it [also] really touched me on different levels, mind, body and soul,” said Maria Marchyshyn, a political analyst who attended the show at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts in Toronto.

Flora Karas, an actress and business owner who saw the performance at

the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver, said she experienced it on a deep level.

“The show is so filled with light. It’s exactly what this city needed. We needed to hear the story. We needed to see the dancing. We needed to feel it in our bones. It’s absolutely the best thing that we could have had,” she said.

“It’s impeccable.”

Shen Yun will play seven shows at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver from March 20–25, 2024.

Shen Yun features performances in classical Chinese dance, ethnic dances, and vocal soloists, all accompanied by a live orchestra that combines traditional Western and Chinese instruments. Vividly animated backdrops extend the stage, transporting audiences to another place and time.

Round-trip shuttle service is available for matinee shows from Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal, Tsawwassen Mills, Horseshoe Bay Ferry Terminal, Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Langley, and White Rock.

According to Statistics Canada, one in four Canadians avoid visiting an oral health professional because of the cost.

Beyond cavities and other issues with your teeth and gums, ignoring your oral health can lead to many more serious health problems, including lung disease, complications with

diabetes, cancer and increased risk of heart problems and strokes.

“Dental care is an essential part of overall health,” says Marika Nadeau, director general with Health Canada’s Oral Health Branch. To help ensure Canadians get the oral health care they need, the federal government has launched the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP). Nadeau explains,

“The CDCP will help cover the cost of essential dental services, including regular exams, cleaning and X-rays.”

age group. You’ll get a letter inviting you to apply via the telephone if you might be eligible.

The CDCP is for Canadian residents with an annual family income under $90,000 and who do not have access to dental insurance.

As of December 2023, the plan is accepting applications from seniors by

Minimum wage increases to $17.40 an hour on June 1

B.C.’s lowest-paid workers will get a pay raise when the general minimum wage increases from $16.75 to $17.40 per hour on June 1, 2024.

This represents a 3.9% increase, consistent with B.C.’s average rate of inflation in 2023.

The alternate minimum rates, for residential caretakers, live-in home-support workers and camp leaders, will receive the same 3.9% increase on June 1. On Dec. 31, 2024, the minimum piece rates for 15 hand-harvested crops will also increase by the same percentage.

“B.C. has gone from having one of the lowest minimum wages in the country to the highest of all the provinces. We made a commitment to tie minimumwage increases to the rate of inflation to prevent B.C.’s lowest-paid workers from falling behind,” said Harry Bains, Minister of Labour. “And today, we are enshrining that commitment into law.”

With the amendments in Bill 2, future increases to all minimum rates will be automatically determined by the previous year’s average inflation rate for B.C. This will provide certainty and predictability for workers and employers. Minimum-wage earners will be able to count on increases every year.

Most wage rates will increase on June 1 of each year, except for agricultural piece rates that will increase on Dec. 31 of each year to ensure crop producers will not have to adjust wages in the middle of the harvesting season.

“As a fast-food worker earning minimum wage, I welcome the government’s rule to increase wages with inflation annually, providing much-needed financial stability to cope with the rising cost of living,” said Carmen Velasco in Richmond.

The changes align with government priorities to help lift more people out of poverty, make life more affordable and build a strong and fair economy for B.C.

Budget 2024: Taking action for people, families in B.C.

Budget 2024 takes on the big challenges people are facing today by helping with everyday costs, delivering more homes faster, strengthening health care and services, and building a stronger, cleaner economy.

“Wherever we live – city, town, rural or First Nations community – we all want a decent, affordable home, quality health care, help when we need it, and a strong future full of opportunity for everyone,” said Katrine Conroy, Minister of Finance. “In the face of global challenges, like inflation and high interest rates, we are taking on big challenges and supporting people to build a good life in B.C.”

Budget 2024 provides immediate support while making significant investments to secure a brighter future for people and their families. To help people through the impacts of global inflation, a BC Family Benefit Bonus will mean more money for more families. More than 340,000 families will receive a 25% bonus with their monthly family benefit in 2024. This includes an estimated 66,000 fami-

lies that haven’t received the BC Family Benefit previously.

A one-time BC Electricity Affordability Credit will help reduce electricity bills for people and businesses in the coming year. Small and growing businesses will also receive help with the impacts of inflation and labour shortages, through a higher Employer Health Tax exemption threshold, doubled from $500,000 to $1 million.

To make sure housing is used as homes for people, starting in 2025 the Province is introducing a property flipping tax to further crack down on speculators and those driving up the cost of housing.

Expanding the First Time Home Buyers program will help more people save more money when buying their first home, while other tax changes will lower the cost of new home and rental construction. New investments in BC Builds will speed up the development of housing by bringing together underused land, low-cost financing and grants to deliver

more homes for people and families with middle incomes.

“Some say we should respond to global challenges by cutting services and leaving people to fend for themselves, but we know we are stronger when we work together,” Conroy said. “Budget 2024 builds on B.C.’s solid foundation to deliver the hospitals, schools and homes people need.” B.C.’s population is growing faster than ever before, and is aging. To continue to strengthen the services people count on, Budget 2024 makes significant investments in health care, including building on B.C.’s 10-year cancer plan, and increasing the healthcare workforce, and supports that will improve the lives of seniors and enable them to live safely in their own homes longer.

Everyone who wants to start a family will have that opportunity. For some people, in-vitro fertilization is one of the few or only options. No one will be denied the opportunity to have a child because of how much money they make, who they

love or whether they have a partner. Starting in 2025, people will be able access one cycle of in-vitro fertilization for free.

A growing population means more children in school, which is why Budget 2024 adds new teachers and support staff, including special-education teachers, teacher psychologists, and counsellors, along with record-level investments to build, renovate and seismically upgrade schools and playgrounds.

The budget provides a record $43 billion in capital funding for schools, postsecondary facilities, housing, health-care facilities, roads and other infrastructure over the next three years.

“Building a stronger B.C. for everyone means always working hard to improve opportunities and services for people,” Conroy said. “With one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country and strong job growth, we will keep building a cleaner economy that works better for people.”

Minister’s

statement on RCMP,

IHIT,

Abbotsford police dismantling organized crime group

Mike Farnworth, Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General, has released the following statement in response to the B.C. RCMP Federal Serious and Organized Crime (FSOC) Program, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) and the Abbotsford Police Department’s significant actions in dismantling an organized crime group:

“I commend the collaborative efforts of the B.C. RCMP’s Federal Serious and Organized Crime Program, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team and the Abbotsford Police Department in dismantling a B.C.-based organized crime group.

“Gangs and organized crime are fuelling the toxic-drug crisis, killing thousands of British Columbians every year and hurting communities across our province. This is a problem that crosses borders within Canada and across the world, and we are determined to do what it takes to stop it.

“With the combined efforts by BCRCMP FSOC, IHIT and the Abbotsford Police Department, they have successfully seized:

356,000 counterfeit pills such as Adderall, Xanax, Percocet, OxyContin and Oxycodone, which also contained carfentanil and other drugs;

168 kilograms of precursor chemicals including fentanyl, benzodiazepines, methamphetamine and carfentanil, which could have produced an additional 185,000 fentanyl contain-

ing pills, 28,000 methamphetamine containing pills and 258,000 MDMA containing pills;

four illegal firearms; and

more than 1,500 rounds of ammunition.

“This significant seizure has kept millions of potentially lethal doses of toxic drugs from reaching our communities. Further, by arresting these nine individuals, these agencies have disrupted violent gang conflicts, helping to keep people safer from dangerous criminals in our province.

“Our government continues to prioritize strong prevention, intervention, intelligence and enforcement initiatives, with more than $100 million invested to support specialized enforcement activities to stop criminals from bringing violence and toxic drugs into our communities.

“The BC RCMP Federal Serious and Organized Crime program is requesting the public’s help in locating Kevin Moebes. If you have information regarding his whereabouts, please contact your local police agency, or anonymously report it through the BC Crime Stoppers hotline at 1 800 222-8477. For your own safety, do not approach him.

“We will continue to work with law enforcement to combat gangs, fight organized crime, and go after the criminals who are making and trafficking deadly drugs and firearms, so people and communities can feel safe.”

Many of us dread the uncomfortable itching and sneezing of seasonal allergies. Roughly one in every five Canadians deals with allergic rhinitis – what we typically call hay fever –according to the Canadian Allergy, Asthma and Immunology Foundation. Here are five tips to help you avoid them.

Follow the forecast

Your weather forecast will likely include reports on how much pollen is circulating in your area, like the familiar updates on humidity and air quality. Since hay fever is an allergy to pollens from plants, staying up to date on this information can help you avoid exposure to your allergen and reactions to it. Consider staying inside on days when the pollen count is high, or conditions are particularly dry or windy.

Block it out

As nice as the fresh air might feel –allowing you to crack open your windows – it can also bring lots of pollen into your home. The same goes for your vehicle when you’re on the road. Also, turn on the air-recirculating setting on your ventilation system to avoid bringing pollen-saturated air inside.

Get covered

When you do need to go outside on bad pollen days, it might help to wear a hat and sunglasses. They can act as a barrier to keep pollen from blowing into your face and triggering allergy symptoms like watery eyes or a scratchy throat. They can also help prevent pollen from settling in your hair and getting onto your pillow and then face while you sleep.

Clean up

You should regularly wash your bedsheets, but did you know this can also help with allergies? Dust mites, flakes of dead skin, pet hair and pollen that hitched a ride on your hair or skin can accumulate on your pillows and sheets and repeatedly trigger your allergy symptoms. It’s not a bad idea to change into fresh clothes after you arrive home from outdoor activities either.

Take action

If you’re suffering from seasonal allergies like hay fever, or you’re not sure that’s what it is, you can get some advice from your pharmacist.

Pharmacists in Ontario, including those at Rexall, are licensed to diagnose and treat 19 minor issues and illnesses, including allergic rhinitis and the uncomfortable watery, itchy eyes, nose, and throat that often come along with it.

4 tips to help you stick to your personal finance resolutions all year

Was getting your personal finances organized one of your New Year’s resolutions? If so, here are four tips to help you hit your goal and stay on track.

Create a budget

There’s a reason why every article you’ll ever read about better managing your personal finances says to create a budget: It’s the only way to accurately understand your financial situation. Simply put, a proper budget tallies all of your expenses and all of your income. You can make one yourself or use an online tool.

Cut back on unnecessary expenses

Once you have a clearer picture of your reoccurring expenses, you’ll be able to see areas where you might be able to cut back. Do you still have a landline that only ever seems to receive telemarketing calls? It might be time to cancel that. What about that list of streaming services and other subscriptions you aren’t really using? And while that other resolution is admirable – you know, the one where you make space for exercise in your regular routine – if you’re not actually going to the gym, you may want to look into other options to cut out that monthly fee, such as working out at home or going for daily walks.

Plan for the unexpected

Sometimes spending money is a wise investment. Take insurance, for example. Vacationing is wonderful. But if you get sick or have an accident abroad and you don’t have travel coverage, you could face financial ruin. Similarly, health and life insurance are relatively small monthly investments that help protect your family in the event of illness, or worse.

“Insurance helps to provide a financial cushion for unexpected life expenses,” says Cathy Preston, vicepresident of individual markets at RBC Insurance. “Having that safety net gives peace of mind, especially during an emergency or a difficult time when finances should be the last thing on your mind.”

Revisit your insurance policies

Speaking of insurance, it’s a good idea to periodically review your various policies to make sure you’re properly covered. But also check to make sure you aren’t overpaying or paying for coverage you no longer need. If your job, for example, allows you to work mostly or entirely from home, you may be able to lower payments on your car insurance. Lower premiums may be available with some policies if you pay the full annual amount upfront, rather than making monthly payments.

We all deal with stress at various times in our lives, from looming deadlines at work to worrying about being able to pay our bills on time. Stress is a natural reaction to challenges in life, but it can also have significant impacts on our overall health if it becomes long-lasting and we aren’t able to deal with it. Here are seven tips to help you alleviate the stress in your life.

Get enough rest

A good night’s sleep is essential for taking care of both your physical and mental health. Most adults need seven to nine hours of sleep a night. Practising good sleep habits, like going to bed at a consistent time each night and keeping the room cool and dark can help you get a more restful sleep. If you’re a light sleeper, consider using a white noise machine or fan to block out external sounds.

Eat well

Eating a variety of healthy foods supports your overall nutritional

7 Healthy Stress-Busting Tips

health and physical and mental well-being. A healthy eating pattern includes plenty of vegetables and fruits, whole grain and protein foods, and healthy fats instead of saturated fats. Healthy eating is more than the foods you eat, it is also the where, when, why and how you eat. This can include taking time to eat without distractions, enjoying your food by creating a positive eating environment and using mealtime as a chance to connect with others.

dementia or other cognitive issues. If you’re not into jogging or hitting the gym, low-impact exercises like yoga or going for a walk are great ways to clear your mind and reduce your stress while getting your body moving.

Get your exercise

Regular physical activity has been shown to improve our ability to learn and problem solve, while also reducing the risk of developing

Unplug your devices

The constant exposure to social media and the news can be overwhelming and have an impact on our mental health. If you find that it is negatively affecting you or adding additional stress to your life, consider reducing the amount of time you spend “doom scrolling” or taking a break from it altogether. Shutting down your screens at least an hour before bedtime can also help with better sleep.

Spend time with loved ones

If you can, prioritize some time to meaningfully connect with friends or family, whether in a group or oneon-one. If you are feeling stressed out, it can help to talk things through with someone you trust.

Set a schedule

Stress can make it challenging to keep track of the things we want to get done from day to day. Setting a regular schedule for things like mealtime, chores and exercise will help you remember important tasks and feel more in control of your life.

Seek help when needed

Sometimes we aren’t able to sort things out on our own and need more support. If feelings of stress or worry are long-lasting and are having a negative impact on your daily life, know there is help. There are a number of free mental health supports that you can access at anytime, from anywhere.

Affordable Ways to Eat for a Greener Future

As many of us experience both a high cost of living and growing effects of climate change, such as unseasonable temperatures or extreme weather events, it might be reassuring to know that some steps that save you money at the grocery store will also cut back on food waste.

With sustainability in mind, here are some core tips to help you buy, store and prepare food in a way that helps you, your community and the environment.

Buying food:

1. Use your list: The age-old, walletfriendly tip to make a list before grocery shopping helps you avoid buying more than you need. That can mean less food ends up rotting in the back of your fridge or going stale in your cupboards.

2. Embrace imperfection: Many grocers sell “imperfect” looking fruits and vegetables, often at a discount. Think apples that don’t have a perfect peel, or carrots that are a little knobby. They are just as healthy, and you prevent them from going to landfill, while saving a few cents.

3. Go exploring: Try one of the many apps or programs that aim to reduce food waste. They connect users with discounted foods from nearby grocers. You can try new foods without breaking the bank and divert good food from going to waste.

Storing food:

4. Perishables up front: As a reminder to eat foods that will go bad first, place ones you’ve opened at the front of the fridge or pantry.

5. Freezer advantage: If you’re not sure you’ll use something before it

goes bad, freeze it to use later. Label it with the name of the food and date to remind yourself what it is and when you froze it.

6. Label wisdom: Know that a bestbefore date is not an indicator of food safety, but about freshness, nutritional value and quality. You can buy and eat foods after the best-before date has passed. However, foods that are likely to spoil should be stored properly, and they should be eaten as quickly as possible. For example, because of the potential for contamination, once a package of lunchmeat is open, for safety reasons, it should be consumed in three to five days. Use your judgment when deciding if food is still safe to eat. You can’t always tell by its smell or taste.

Preparing food:

7. Cook fresh first: Try to use the most perishable items in your fridge or pantry, such as berries or spinach, before the hardier foods like apples, potatoes or carrots, which will last longer.

8. Mix up leftovers: You can make leftovers more appetizing by turning them into something new, like quiche, stir-fries, soups or casseroles – all versatile meals that taste great with a mix of leftover vegetables and proteins.

9. Make waste work: Some food waste is inevitable, but instead of just throwing it out, make use of the compost program in your community if there is one or start composting at home. You can save on fertilizer for your garden. If you’re already composting, try freezing waste to prevent odours and help the composting process along.

The 2024 Nissan Altima SR Sedan: Remade and better than ever!

Auto review by Veeno Dewan

The Altima is Nissan’s mid-size family sedan that’s has been a popular seller over the last two decades or so. For 2024 it comes off a 2023 revamp with bolder front-end styling, standard LED lighting, new wheel designs, expanded standard safety features and available 12.3inch display. The facelifted Altima looks sharper, inside, and out, and updated technology. One extremely attractive feature is that All-wheel drive is standard with the Altima, perfect for wintry weather provinces. The Altima is powered by a 2.5L four-cylinder engine rated at 182 hp and 178 lb-ft of torque. This unit is teamed with Nissans proprietary Xtronic continuously variable transmission while paddle shifters are standard on the SR sports model.

and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. Also standard for all models is Safety Shield 360 that includes emergency braking with pedestrian detection, rear automatic braking, lane departure warning, radar-based blind spot warning, rear cross traffic alert and high beam assist. The list of standard features is well suited to Canadian winters with heated front seats and heated outside mirrors as well as AWD.

The 2024 lineup includes four

We tested the sporty SR version which adds additional slight suspension tuning an exclusive version of the updated V-Motion grille with “black chrome” accents exclusive to the SR model. The nice 19inch wheels are also new. On the SR trim, it also includes wireless phone charging and a Wi-Fi hotspot. The upsized display has a hugely

models: S AWD, SR AWD, SR Premium, and Platinum. The Altima starts from $31,598 to $37,998 MSRP. The entry S is $30,098. The SR Midnight Edition is $32,698. The price for the mid-range SR trim (As tested) is $34,498 plus options and freight/PDE. The fully loaded Platinum version is priced at $37,998. Freight and PDI is $2,030. One of the biggest changes to the Altima is the arrival of a new 12.3inch touchscreen with navigation

improved interface with a cleaner home screen and artfully arranged apps,

The Altima’s cabin looks neat, with controls logical and human friendly, and the front seats are comfy. The Altima’s interior is a mix of hard plastics and nicer soft-touch points with dual-stitched accents on the door armrests and seats. It feels on par for the segment in terms of quality and overall look.

The inside of the Altima is roomy and offers excellent visibility the leather trimmed “Zero Gravity” front seats are excellent. They have eight-way power adjustability with lumbar support and heating functionality. Altima interiors offers a luxury feel in both design and materials – including revised instrument panel finishings and a new dual-stitch interior fabric design for SR models. It also delivers an elevated level of convenience and connectivity features – including an available 7.0-inch Advanced DriveAssistTM Display, NASA-inspired Zero Gravity seat design with dualdensity foam and bolstering, available leather-appointed seating, and available 8-way power driver’s seat.

to miserly fuel-saving mode for highways cruising. You can thank the CVT transmission’s revised mapping for that. The impressive AWD system is calibrated for three driving conditions with a 50/50 split on power front to rear for hard starts; a fuel-efficient front-wheeldrive mode when cruising; and a 70/30 split for slippery surfaces. The 19-inch wheel and tire combo, plus the tuned suspension, both affect the ride quality.

Altima’s AWD system automatically redistributes torque to the wheels (from 100 per cent up front up to a 50/50 split front-to-rear) according to road and driving conditions.

On the road, the standard 2.5-litre engine puts the emphasis on economy (an impressive 6.5 litres/100 kilometres on the highway) with its 182 horsepower and 180 lb.-ft. of torque. Response to throttle inputs is instantaneous; the transmission enables passing power and acceleration as needed, but also reverts

Handling is good thanks to the implementation of a stiff , light platform combined with monotube rear shocks and suspension reinforcements. Meanwhile electric power steering makes the Altima feels defter with an easy progressive steering feel on the twisties. It’s a wonderfully fast, light quick reflexed car that’s fun to drive. Not a lot to complain about. Fuel economy is rated at 6.7L - 9.3L fuel / 100 km, highway/city/combined.

To sum up, the Altima’s well priced model range is a bargain-priced, especially with as availability of AWD as standard, which sets it above the crowd. Highly recommended.

2024 Nissan Altima SR priced from $34,998. Price as tested with options, Freight and PDE: $39,028.

Is your home-based business protected? Key insurance considerations

(NC) Operating a small business out of your home may have many convenient perks, but you can face some costly headaches if you don’t have the right insurance coverage. This goes beyond your standard home insurance policy.

Your home policy may cover certain activities for your business, however, the coverage limits are generally much lower than what you would receive through a small business insurance policy. Make sure you’re covered by exploring your options.

There are also certain types of coverage that your home insurance policy would not cover. For example, if your business is temporarily shut down

due to an insured event, you would not be covered for any loss of income during this period. Or if a customer is visiting your home-based business, and slips and injures themselves on your premises, you may not be covered under your home insurance policy if you are found liable. With providers such as TD Insurance, you can customize your small business insurance policy based on the needs of your business.

You can learn more by contacting a licensed insurance advisor who can help you address questions about insurance for your home-based business. You can also find more information at tdinsurance.com.

How to navigate food rules for businesses

(NC) When running a business, rules, regulations and guidelines seem to come with the package.

Learning to navigate everything can be a challenge, but these requirements play an important part in ensuring the Canadian marketplace is safe, consistent and fair to everyone.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s Safe Food for Canadians Regulations are a set of federal food safety rules that apply to many types of food businesses. These include licensing, preventive controls and plans, and traceability.

For food businesses, following these rules helps to keep the food system safe. Here are some of the ways to do that:

Start by confirming which rules apply

In general, these regulations apply to all businesses that import or prepare food for export or interprovincial trade. They apply to all foods, including manufactured foods such as snacks, coffee, cereals, beverages and pastas.

Requirements vary, but they typically include having a valid food safety licence, having preventive controls in place and keeping traceability records.

Have a valid food safety licence

Your licence application must include the activities you conduct, the location where they will occur, the types of food involved and a declaration that you have preventive controls in place for food safety.

Businesses importing food or beverages into Canada must have a valid food safety licence. Without a valid

licence, shipments may be denied entry into Canada.

Create a preventive control plan

You may also need to have a preventive control plan written down. It outlines the measures you need to put in place to prevent contaminated food from entering the market. Most businesses are required to document how they identify and control food safety risks for the foods they handle. While some small businesses may not need a written plan, they must still have preventive controls in place.

Create a traceability plan, if applicable

In case of a food safety incident or recall, businesses must be able to trace the movement of a food product. As the food system has many steps, and a product may be

processed and packaged in different places, keeping track of where it’s been and where it’s going is essential to quickly protect consumers if a problem occurs.

Preventive controls and traceability records are usually required even for food businesses that do not need a licence. For example, retailers need to keep records of receiving the food (tracing back where it came from), but do not need to trace the food forward to the consumer.

Depending on your product(s), where you are selling them and where you are located, your business may need to comply with various other federal, provincial and municipal requirements.

Find more information on these steps at inspection.canada.ca/safefood.

How to pack the whole family for March Break

(NC) At this time of year, many of us are ready to escape winter for a week on the beach or some other warmer location. If you’ve got plans for a March Break getaway with the family, here are some packing tips for all ages.

Babies and infants

As anyone who has done it knows, travelling with babies and young children can be a challenge. In addition to their clothes, you also want to make sure you pack their bottles, soothers, a hat and their favourite stuffed animal.

If it’s a beach destination you’re heading to, don’t forget swim

goggles and floaties. If the trip will include some more adventurous outings, make sure you pack appropriate footwear and rugged clothing.

You may also need to bring a portable crib. But note that airlines will not count a stroller as a piece of luggage and, in most cases, you can check it at the gate.

For the flight, pack some snacks, plus some books, arts and crafts materials, and other items to pass the time.

Tweens and teens

For this age group, keeping them engaged and entertained is the key

factor. So, while they’ll be sure to pack their phones and other devices, you’ll want to make sure all the right charging cables are packed as well. You should also set some ground rules ahead of time on screen time limits.

Kids this age are old enough to pack their own suitcase but double-check to make sure they bring essentials like swimwear, sunglasses and hats, suitable footwear and some books or magazines to read when you tell them it’s time to put their phones away.

Parents

As the adults in the group, you’re going to be the one responsible for packing vacation essentials like sunscreen, a first aid kit and any medication family members require. You should also look into travel insurance for the whole family.

And don’t forget that novel you’ve been meaning to finally crack open.

Of course, the essential wardrobe items for a beach vacation are your swimsuit and a coverup. If Mom is in the market for a new swimsuit, find tips on how to select the perfect fit for her body type at lavieenrose. com/en/women-swimsuit-guide.

Give your kitchen cabinets a facelift in 6 easy steps

New kitchen or fresh paint? With some simple preparation, a little paint and a free weekend, you can transform the look and feel of your kitchen in just a couple of days. Here’s a step-by-step guide to get you started.

Prep the area

Empty your cabinets and remove the doors by unscrewing the hinges and pulling the doors away from the units. Wipe the surfaces clean with a damp cloth.

Clean and sand

If your cabinets have a glossy finish, you’ll need to sand that away before you start painting. Take a sanding sponge or high-grit sandpaper (100-

to 150-grit), and sand until you have a matte finish. Once you’ve sanded, wipe the dust away with a damp cloth and allow the cabinets to completely dry.

Pick the right paint

An on-trend gloss or semi-gloss paint is recommended for cabinets because it provides a harder, and therefore more durable, finish. If you choose latex paint, make sure it’s completely acrylic. Oil-free paints called alkyds are great for durability as well. When choosing your colours, you can’t go wrong picking from a designer-endorsed palette like Behr’s colours of the

year, which is only available at The Home Depot.

Prime the cabinets

If you’re going lighter than the current colour or your cabinets are new, you will need to prime them. Apply your primer by painting the edges with a brush first, then rolling the middle for the fastest coverage. Allow them to dry completely. Paint doors and drawers

Once your frames are painted, you can let them dry and move on to the doors. Put boards on the ground and then lay your cabinet doors flat on top of them. This keeps them off the ground while painting. Start painting from the middle of the door

and work your way out towards the edges. Let them dry completely. If you want a more vibrant colour, consider adding a second coat. Don’t be worried if there are brush marks, they’ll even out as the paint dries.

Reassemble

Once your paint is dry, reassemble your cabinets by putting the hardware back on the doors if you removed it and then reattaching the doors to the cabinets. Once everything is assembled, you can stand back and take in your brand-new kitchen look.

New to farming? Here are 3 resources you might not know about

Canada has a long history of farming, and many farms have been in the same family for generations. Others are trying their hand at farming for the first time, whether they are newcomers or long-time residents interested in a hands-on career in tune with the environment.

Whether you’re a new farmer or come from a long line of farmers, here are three programs designed to help you manage the risks and finances of running a farm.

Training and incentives

Whether you are new to farming or established in the field, it might be worth considering an alternative to private loans, such as the Canadian

lVkI dI loV

Agricultural Loans Act Programknown as the CALA Program. This

the federal government guaranteeing 95 per cent of the loan, which

sMprk kro: 778-551-9720, 778-551-9730

program can help those looking to establish, improve or expand their farming business with lower interest rates and down payments, as well as flexible repayment options and incentives. You may qualify for up to $500,000, with

means access to better interest rates and lower minimum equity.

Cash advances

Any business owner knows that managing cash flow can be a challenge. It is particularly difficult when the product you are selling can take weeks, months or even years to be ready for market. To help farmers get by while their crops or livestock are growing, the federal

government developed the Advance Payments Program. Under this program, farmers can access up to $1 million in advanced funds based on the value of the eligible agricultural products they will produce or have in storage, with the Government of Canada paying the interest on the first $100,000. Applications for 2024 will open on April 1, 2024. Depending on what is being produced, farmers will have 18 to 24 months to fully repay their advance.

Debt management

Sometimes things do not work out how we want them to. If you are struggling to manage your debt, you can apply to the voluntary, confidential Farm Debt Mediation Service to receive credit counselling and to have a meeting arranged with your creditor(s) to develop a recovery plan.

After the pressure you have likely experienced since the year began, you are now moving into a period to 23rd March where you can work out what needs to become your main priority in life. You could make decisions this week you had not planned but suddenly realise are necessary, based on what you don’t want to do anymore.

New responsibilities could come your way which might be something you have been aiming for in a work situation but this could also take place on a personal level. There could be a lot more to this than is initially presented. Be mindful of what you are prepared to take on from now to late March, so to avoid getting bogged down.

Pressure from the expectations of somebody else that has been upon since the year began will be released, giving you a sense of freedom. This can open up all sorts of new possibilities where the future is concerned, which can include looking at possibilities you could only dream about before. Focus on this to late March.

New directions can take shape in your life when it comes to other people, either those you know or somebody new. They will be determined when it comes to their own agenda and you need to be careful about the level of commitment or responsibility you take on. Those in business could be very busy to late March.

Be satisfied with whatever you have managed to organise and put in place since the year began. It is time to relax and involve yourself in some pleasurable activities up to 23rd March. The way somebody else deals with their life might be a good example to follow, especially if you realise you have become too serious of late.

There can be a lot to think or communicate about from now to late March which could stem from new information coming your way right now. Be mindful of what you can reasonably manage because something small asked of you could turn out to have a lot more work attached than is obvious. Be across the detail – ask questions.

With Mars entering your sign until 23rd March you will begin a new 2 year cycle but this one is like no other you have experienced so far in life. The New Moon has also just taken place in your sign, so it is all about new beginnings. For some this may mean beginning to alter your attitude to things that can’t be changed, which oddly enough could make you feel a new person.

Any challenges you may have had to deal with from somebody else since the beginning of the year may now become less obvious to 23rd March. Their determination to either do things or have things their way won’t waver. They could just be less open. You will have support elsewhere but keep your wits about you.

More pleasurable activities or a desire to relax since the year began will wind up now. Something may have changed as well when it comes to future goals which will now require some proper focus to get organised up to late March. This could also bring changes to your usual routines, which might take a while to get used to.

From now to 23rd March you could become more certain about what needs to be put in place for ongoing security when it comes to any changes that could have taken place since mid October. This could involve home and family but also any other area of life that is important to you. Focus on this step involving the next 2 years.

Your finances come under focus to late March. This would be a good time to make any adjustments to loans but be mindful of not committing yourself to anything that could become difficult to manage later. This could also be favourable for getting a job, changing jobs or receiving an increase in pay. Don’t be tempted to waste it though.

You will need a lot of patience to 23rd March, especially with any situations that seem out of your control. More information might be needed so that you can eventually move forward without hindrance. A possible new direction may begin to develop but exactly how that will play out could take a month to fully emerge.
