Today is your day Boomer! It is back-to-school day across Canada and I bet many parents are pretty happy....see picture! But what about Boomers? Probably mixed feelings, I assume. Some former teachers like me celebrate what's called "To Hell with the Bell Day" where we do other things like special lunches and golf instead of school assemblies and meetings. Other Boomers, who are grandparents, maybe are taking on more parental reponsibilities starting today....perhaps, after school care or pickup/dropoff activities. That can be good or bad depending on a number of different factors. One big thing to remember for all of us is that many more kids, cars, and school buses are on the road, so increased safety is a concern. Watch for speed in those designated school zones. And of course, the other BIG concern is COVID.....again. We all have trepidation and increased nerves as children head back to school and public mingling ticks way up. But we must have confidence in the school system administration and the provincial health authorities; they are the experts and are calling the shots on things like mask mandates and ventilation. Let's let it play out and hope for the best! Have a great first day Boomers! Cheers.
