Loading ...As a society, we have become so suspicious of others and so guarded that we approach every initial introduction with caution and potential hostility.

The challenge is to think of a nice thing to say to a person whenever you see them. Although this sounds easy, it can be very difficult.

The new location is in a heritage building on the corner of Lonsdale and 1st, about two blocks away from our previous building.
