George Condos & Towns
A letter from the editor When you receive this edition of the Letter from George, it's hard to know if you will need the biggest puffer jacket, or your spring bonnet! While I enjoy all the seasons we have in this country -- I am definitely looking forward to longer days and warmer weather. One... Continue Reading →
Letter from the editor The holiday season is upon us -- a time that should be of family and joy. I typically write this note just ahead of publication, which for this edition is Sunday morning. I woke up to the news of the horrific antisemitic attack Sydney, Australia. While we may each hold different... Continue Reading →
Letter from the Editor It's a beautiful autumn day as I write this note -- cool enough for a sweater, but not so chilly that I wish I'd brought gloves. For me, I'm hardwired to think of the fall as the start of a new year -- this despite being out of school for many... Continue Reading →
Letter from the editor With a mere week away until summertime is official, I think we are all hoping to tuck the cardigans away and enjoy some warmer weather. Nancy's musing have reminded me about the power of noticing my surroundings -- it doesn't need a trip to a faraway place to be taken by... Continue Reading →
Editor's Letter We are days away from the spring equinox -- and what a winter it has been! I may be in the minority here, but I do like my seasons to be fully committed.

I know this isn't true for everyone, that instead the fall feels like a harbinger of the darkness winter brings. Fortunately, the contributors... Continue Reading →
As the summer solstice approaches, and we take the cover off the barbeque, it can be a time to celebrate the expansiveness the season brings. And while that is true, in our little vertical neighbourhood, it has also been a time of unexpected sadness. Doug Huson, an original owner, died suddenly and unexpectedly when walking...

Good almost-springtime to all the residents of this vertical neighbourhood. This month's newsletter is focused on all things neighbourly; beginning with the introduction from resident Kevin Cormier of The George book club -- the club has been around for about a year, but it may be new to you. There have been lots of 'comings... Continue Reading →
Editor's Letter: Illuminating the warmth of this community Building a neighbourhood takes time -- and it's not something that happens passively. This year, our vertical neighbourhood has created what I hope will become a holiday tradition: In addition to some seasonal decorations for the foyer, the board added a Menorah. For the eight days of Hannukah, a group that... Continue Reading →
