Friendly reminder: Saturday is Election Day! Your vote shapes the city we all share, and that includes the local spots you love. We’d ask you to keep small businesses in mind when you vote.⁠
⁠
Over the last five years, we’ve watched too many of our neighbours in the small business community struggle, and some have had to close their doors for good. They’re the heart and soul of our city, and their future is on the ballot this weekend.⁠
⁠
Think about the places that make our city feel like home:⁠
⁠
• Your local cafe who knows your quirky order⁠
• That magical bookstore recommending your next read⁠
• Your go-to restaurants with that one dish they make better than anywhere⁠
• The curated secondhand shop where you find that unique piece you’ve dreamed of ⁠
• The barbershop or hair salon who know just how to cut your hair so that it falls perfectly⁠
• The family mechanic you trust⁠
• The bike shop keeping you tuned up⁠
• Your independent grocer with the local goods and the pet store that knows your furry friend likes a sweet potato treat⁠
⁠
To survive, these spaces need a mayor and council who actively look after them. When you’re weighing your choices, look for candidates who support ideas like:⁠
⁠
• Commercial rent caps to help your favourite independent businesses from being priced out⁠
• Affordable or free parking options for our customers to keep main streets accessible⁠
• Penalties for landlords who leave spaces empty instead of renting at affordable rates⁠
• Safety measures like security grants and vandalism rebates, to protect your retail neighbourhoods against crime⁠
⁠
Local elections directly impact the survival of your favourite spots. Not sure where candidates stand? Check their platforms, look at candidate surveys and all-candidates forums or ask them directly about small business support. Whoever you choose, please vote this Saturday. Let’s make sure the next four years include helping our local shops thrive, not watching more of them close.⁠

Photoshoot for a magazine? Sign me up. 📸✨

A little behind-the-scenes peek at a very special fashion shoot for Boulevard Magazine.

Set inside the historic Hatley Castle, a location that feels like it was made for an editorial, this one had all the ingredients I love: beautiful clothes, a little drama, a talented creative team, and a setting with a story of its own. 🖤

There’s something about shooting fashion in a historic space that makes you want to lean all the way into the fantasy.

A few tiny moments from behind the scenes before the final images come together: styling, adjusting, posing, walking, changing looks, and trying to pretend the camera isn’t catching every single movement. 😅

Creative team:
Stylist: @jenevansstylistproducer
Photographer: @michellejproctor
Makeup: @jenclarkmua
Model: @mm_go_design
Clothing: @bernstein_gold
Creative: @white.rabbit.goods

And of course, a huge thank you to everyone who helped turn a beautiful location into a full fashion story. 🤍

Now I’m very curious to see how these little behind-the-scenes fragments transform into the finished editorial.

We spent the day at Bernstein & Gold pulling looks for the shoot, with Jen Evans bringing her styling vision to the story.

Can’t wait to share the final images. 🤍
