When looking specifically at Instagram, it can be overwhelming to figure out how to attract clients and keep the ones you already have.
Luckily Your Social Strategy has some simple ways to get your business’s Instagram account looking just right.
At the onset of the pandemic, Geraldine MacDonald, Chief Executive Officer of Lumii Films and Will Moran-MacDonald, Chief Creative Officer, realized that society’s usual celebration of the arts would be dramatically affected by the need for social distancing. This awareness was coupled with the fact that certain art arenas (like filmmaking, for example) are inherently more challenging than others even in ‘normal’ times; but that despite the nature of the arena with its expected and ongoing challenges, art, in its myriad of forms, uplifts the spirit and brightens the soul, especially in times of darkness.
"More than ever, we all needed light on the horizon."
Advanced Women's Health is a premier medical clinic that provides evidence based integrated medical care catering to women’s hormonal health.

Our vision is to create a community in which women are educated and supported. No woman should feel alone in the face of hormonal chaos and every woman has the right to want the healthiest pregnancy, postpartum period and perimenopausal transition.
No woman should feel ‘complicated’ leaving a medical appointment, only empowered and hopeful.
When women are at their best communities and businesses thrive.
We are on a mission to help professional women, busy Mom’s and Momma’s to be to not only reclaim their health, but also take a proactive approach to wellness.

Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) programs are specialized programs that allow Grade 11 or 12 students to focus their learning on a specific economic sector while meeting the requirements to graduate from secondary school with an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD).
A school approved to offer an SHSM program will offer the program in all four pathways: apprenticeship training, college, university, and the workplace. SHSM programs may be connected to a Dual Credit Program offered in the Limestone District School Board. Students must complete all components to graduates with their SHSM red seal on their diploma.
Students earning SHSM will be able to make more informed career decisions and ultimately be better prepared for their post-secondary destination of choice.
