The team at Connecting Albert County would like to wish everyone a new year full of joy, peace and good health!
As the new year approaches, I'm feeling optimistic and incredibly grateful to be living in rural Albert County.
I am thankful we have been spared the worst ravages of COVID-19. I appreciate that lockdowns and orange phases don't have the same impact here, as they do in many urban centers. We can still enjoy the beautiful, natural spaces of Albert County - from beaches to dykes to old-growth forests. Also, many of us grow and preserve our own food, bake our own bread, and make meals from scratch. Fortunately, rural Albert County has shown it appreciates ‘homegrown.’ The challenges of the past year have helped us realize the importance of continuing to support our own businesses, protect our natural environment and help our neighbours so we all can thrive.
