Happy Summer

—by Anna Proctor

Hopefully by the time you read this we will have moved beyond the moody rainy weather in May to some glorious sunny, summertime weather. After all, this is our SUMMER issue! And we are ready to soak in all the summertime sun, heat, fun, and more!

We have worked hard this issue to bring you all the updates and information about as many local communities, events, and businesses as we possibly can. We are very proud that we have been doing this for almost 20 years. And we hope you feel, as we do, that we just get better in every issue!

If you love our magazine, please email and let us know. We are compiling some kind words to use in future social media campaigns…don’t worry, we won’t use your full names…and would love to include yours!

Why do you love us? Why do you read us? Are we your social media go to? Do you go to our website for coming events? Please, tell us more! You can email your kudos and ideas for improvement, to info@northsimcoe.life.

We are also excited about this issue’s summertime contest! We know you love a contest…and so do we! We are thrilled to announce we are partnering with the Orillia Opera House,  in this summertime contest…and the prize is two tickets to Hurry Hard, one of the OOH”s Professional Theatre series offerings, this summer!

Check out our contest below for all the details on how to win!

As always, we hope you will take the time to read this summertime issue, check out our local advertisers, events, non-profits, and more, and support them, whenever and however you can. It’s strange times these days, and we could all use a little extra love.

Have a wonderful June and July, and take the time to celebrate Canada Day HARD this year! We are lucky to live here, and need to acknowledge that. Elbows up, and enjoy this beautiful season in this beautiful place.
