Quiddich Championships Flying Back to Abbotsford!
“The person is a certified official who is neutral to both teams,” says Yara Kodershah, communications director at Quidditch Canada.
Nov. 7, 7:30 p.m. - Abbotsford Centre abbotsfordcentre.ca
“The sport has been, from its inception, full contact and gender-integrated, meaning that anyone is welcome to play,” says Kodershah. “Not many people realize how huge this sport is all over the world, and in particular, how fast it is growing among young athletes. We felt it would be great to bring it back to the community,” says Blanchette. “Abbotsford is already known as a premiere sport hosting city in Canada, so it is only natural that we look to reach new sports like Quidditch and offer them the same great hospitality we’re known for.” For more information on the event, visit quidditchcanada.com.

Don’t be fooled by the whimsical origin of the sport. The real life adaptation draws from elements of dodgeball, rugby, handball, and flag football, with possibility of injury that no Vulnera Sanentur spell could fix.
Matches are played between two teams of seven. Players score a goal when they throw a quaffle (volleyball) through any one of three hoops on either side of the field. Each goal is worth ten points and catching the Snitch is worth one-hundred fifty points. The game ends when the Snitch is caught - conceived in the series as a magical flying ball with wings - but in this world, played by an actual person.
EMERSON RD
Most people who have heard of Quidditch know it as the sport played on broomsticks 150 feet in the air. Six teams from Vancouver, Victoria, Burnaby, Edmonton, and Calgary will “swoop” into the field at W.J. Mouat Secondary to battle it out on broomsticks, albeit on turf.

Dust off those broomsticks because it’s time to play the most popular game among wizards and witches, and, according to Hagrid, the equivalent to Muggles’ passion for football.

The Farmer and the Foodie I’m going to bet the farm (figuratively only, of course) that you are probably unaware that Canada is the world’s leading mustard seed grower, providing up to 80% of the world’s supply, exporting the majority of the crop to be refined into.. you guessed it...mustard! The hot, dry Prairie summers and long, cold winters are ideal conditions for the yellow, brown and Oriental seeds of this short growing season crop. So it’s only natural that it took a small-town Prairie chef to create the best line of flavoured mustards I have ever tasted. While apprenticing in a fine dining establishment, young Chef Carly quickly learnt the versatility of mustard and how effortlessly adding a spoonful to marinades, salad dressings, sauces, and meats could take dishes to new heights. After experimenting on her friends by adding quintessential Canadian flavours like beer, cranberries
and maple syrup, Smak Dab Mustard was born and in two short years she has been named the “2017 Rising Star” by Food and Beverage Manitoba. But my favourite part of her story is that her 82-year-old Grandfather works on the assembly line with her! You won’t get much more Canadian than this month’s Smak Dab original recipe, featuring Lepp’s Osoyoos orchard apples, Canadian smoked cheddar and Smak Dab maple mustard! This creative and easy small all bite will be the star of your next dinnerr party as you surprise and Ap delight the leppfa p l y a t : rmma friends around rke career t.com/ your table with s this uniquely ly Canadian product. ct.

When hosting a Halloween party, it helps to determine who will be in attendance before making any plans. Parties that include children should be PG in nature, and hosts should find the right balance between scary and fun. While you want to have a certain measure of the macabre, make sure you don’t send young guests home with nightmares. Reserve gruesome decorations and details for adult-only parties.
Many people can’t wait to dress up for a Halloween party, even picking out their costumes months in advance. Still, not everyone feels comfortable donning a costume. To welcome all guests, don’t make costumes mandatory. One way around this is to set up a Halloween Disguise Table full of accessories that anyone can borrow and use to alter their appearance. Goofy glasses, strange hats, adhesive mustaches, or masks can be fun.

Alcohol and other substances are also known to deplete B vitamins including Vitamin B12, contributing to deficiencies, affecting mood and altering the memory centers in the brain, making supplementation with B vitamins essential. Vegetarians or anyone at risk of Vitamin B12 deficiency require supplementation with sublingual Vitamin B12 or Vitamin B12 shots.

A deficiency of Vitamin B12 can cause anemia, making you feel weak, tired, light headed and lethargic. The absorption of Vitamin B12 requires intrinsic factor (produced with stomach acid). As we get older our stomach produces less acid and insufficient amounts of intrinsic factor, making us more prone to deficiency. Medication that decreases the secretion of stomach acid such as antacids, antihistamines, proton pump inhibitors and even some diabetes medication such as Metformin can decrease the absorption of Vitamin

Why pre-planning for your estate can save your family
Matters
Free, Nov. 9 discussion explores vital wills, probate and estate issues Sponsored by Cindy Boury Private Wealth Management
pre-planning can help avoid unexpected fees and probate costs.
The last thing families want after a loved one’s passing is conflict over the estate, yet too often, without the right preplanning, that’s exactly what happens.
Avoiding wills variation
A free Nov. 9 educational session from Abbotsford’s Cindy Boury Private Wealth Management, an independent wealth advisor with investment dealer Raymond James Ltd., aims to help families change that. Understanding Wills, Probate & Estates is open to all interested in gaining a better understanding of probate, how to avoid wills variation and other interesting estate issues. Why pre-planning is essential By far the most common issue families experience in estate matters is fall-out from lack of planning and communication. “It’s important to design the estate while people are alive, otherwise it can ruin the family and create hardship,” explains Cindy, who emphasizes the importance of education and communication with clients and their families. Additionally,
Broaching the topic of wills and estates with our families often isn’t easy, but it is necessary. When planning and communication don’t happen and conflict among beneficiaries arises after a death, application for a will variation can follow, a step that incurs legal costs, possible court time, stress and family conflict, with no guarantee of the end result. Instead, Cindy encourages a comprehensive estate planning process involving the family if the client wants, including everything from real estate, business assets and life insurance to Registered Savings Plans and Tax-Free Savings Accounts. “People need to design their estate properly with the aid of a professional experienced in estate management,” Cindy says. “It gives everyone peace of mind.” Attending educational events and meeting with an experienced advisor can help people make those wellinformed decisions. A holistic approach
CINDY BOURY PRIVATE WEALTH MANAGEMENT Invites you to attend
Understanding the value her clients place on family, the third-generation Abbotsford resident is joined in her 20-year-old practice by daughters Sheryl, business development specialist, and Susan, wealth advisor assistant, in addition to five other specialists rounding out her eight-member team. Cindy’s wide breadth of training, knowledge and experience allows her to take a holistic approach to wealth management. “In addition to estate management, we offer a wide variety of investment services, including wealth management, business and corporate solutions, investment options, insurance and wealth protection,” Cindy says. “With a team this size, we have a number of people with different areas of focus, so we have a good mix,” Reserve your seat Space is limited in the free, educational seminar at the Abbotsford Sandman Hotel Nov. 9, and those wanting to learn more about wills and probate are urged to RSVP to the Raymond James office at 604-855-0654 or by email at sheryl. boury@raymondjames.ca
