We know many are mourning the loss of visits “home” to Canada or to favourite vacation sanctuaries this year. Thank you for all efforts ensuring the safety and security of our local Bay Area communities – and Canadian homes visited – while we collectively take a deep breath and await vaccines and lower COVID-19 infection numbers.

With the last candles lit for Hanukkah, and the Winter Solstice coming soon to bring us more daylight, we also want to wish you a Merry Christmas next week. In the words of  Erika’s (DML Co-chairmoose) mum and dad in Vancouver:
