spotlight on january W e are excited about the great opportunities in front of us as we move into a new decade and clean off the slate from what was a truly unprecedented year for most both professionally and personally. We know that we still have many hurtles ahead of us however, we are up to the chal- lenge of connecting, engaging and inspiring entrepreneurs and business leaders to make the most of their opportunities, share their challenges and celebrate their suc- cesses with each other. No one has seen more challenges than the Halifax Stanfield International Airport in 2020, Covid-19 damped what should have been an amazing year and celebration for the airport as it was a double anniversary year for Halifax Stanfield International Airport. However, the management team of the Halifax International Airport Author- ity find themselves preparing to rebuild air connections for the community at Atlantic Canada’s largest airport and connect to the world. Building businesses in communities is what the Downtown Truro Partnership is all about. In this month’s issue we learn that Truro is a special place that offers facilities and businesses usually associated with much larger cities, without comprising on its small-town charm making it the perfect destination for conferences and trade shows or getaway with friends or a planned staycation with the family. Regardless of what you are looking for Truro and the surrounding area truly has something for everyone. In this month’s “in the spotlight” we chat with Shannon Ferguson, one of the amazing and energetic entrepreneurs behind FanSaves. We also have two new monthly features debuting for this month; Epic Eateries & Sweeteries that will dive into some of the best places across North America for leg- endary and extraordinary eats and treats. From Grains to Glasses will spotlight what is new in the Craft Brewing and Distilling industries as we get ready for this year’s Ultimate Craft Cooler. We want to thank everyone that made this issue possible and we look forward to sharing more stories about successful businesses and brands, while spotlighting the people behind making it all happen.
