the bazaars your heart desires. You might need extra hands to carry all your festive finds! On a more reflective note, November brings with it Remem- brance Day. This year marks 110 years since the start of WWI. While Armistice Day may have changed to Remembrance Day back in 1931, the significance remains the same: to honour our Canadian veterans and those currently serving. In a world where conflicts still rage, pausing and remembering feels more important than ever. I encourage you to attend a local ceremony this year — let’s stand together to honour those we’ve lost and support those still with us. Holiday cheer is still strong in this issue! We’ve got articles on everything from the upcoming Santa Claus Parade to the Horton Christmas Market. And don’t forget to check out our coverage of Light Up Talbot Street and The Community Christmas Tree Spectacular at the Railway Museum — because who doesn’t love good tree lighting? The Briwood Farm Market Holiday Cookbook is back for its second straight year, just in time to save your holiday menu! Enjoy the read, stay warm, and I’ll see you out there — possibly with more ice cream or a shovel. Geoff

I started the evening by eating my way through over thirty food vendors, starting with Thai Coconut Rice from Lotus Thai and finishing with, believe it or not, Chicken and Waffle ice cream from Decent Ice Cream. The night was capped off by some well-deserved awards for local businesses and an outstanding performance by none other than Steven Page, formerly of the Barenaked Ladies. Trust me, this was one event that left both my heart and stomach full! Now, let’s talk about this month’s issue. We’re continuing our profiles on local artists — showcasing four more creative souls this month, each with their unique flair and story. If you’re looking for some holiday fun, we’ve got you covered with listings of vendors’ markets, holiday-themed events, and all
