by Janet Stubbert During the Second World War, Canadian citizens sacrificed much in order to assist and support the many young men and women who were called upon to defend our country. Women left at home soon found themselves filling the void in the workplace. This indeed was the birth of women’s freedom groups. Life [...]

by David Ferguson I bought my first new car in 1974. I was torn between the VW Rabbit, a new model that year, and the Plymouth Valiant. The Rabbit was different, but it was also a new model that year. Consumer Reports liked the car overall, but of course had no information on how well [...]

by David Ferguson I think it was the summer of 1966. I was sixteen, and as usual I was visiting Inverness with my family. “With my family” isn’t exactly right.

by Rose Ferguson My sister Gillian and I love to shop when we are together. We haven’t let my two small children get in the way of this habit. My almost-three-year-old daughter, Natalia, is very mature for her age and can go places that most kids her age never would. One day, Gillian and I [...]
