Message From The Editor
Did the weather effect your season this year?
First and most obviously, we send our heartfelt sympathy to all those impacted by Canada’s record-setting wildfire season this summer. Especially; the fires in the Okanagan were shocking. What a sad and terrible thing to have hit our country. Every province seemed to have experienced these natural disasters. The smoke and smell from the wildfires was everywhere.
We would like to get a better sense of what the impact was on our industry during the hottest summer on record. If you have comments or information to share, please send an email to me personally at aadams@kerrwil.com . And, we are not done yet for this year it seems.
