Editorial

Welcome to the 15th annual edition of the Edmonton Woman Consumer Guide! As always, it is our aim to provide you with a wealth of consumer information to enthuse and inspire you on your journey through the next year. As well, we provide you with updated community resource listings at your fingertips and encourage you to keep this issue on hand for referral throughout the year.

In this issue, Heather Andrews Miller talks to Sheila Butt about her Skate North project, which provides hockey equipment for the youth of small communities in the North.

You can also learn about opportunities for women to become involved in the trades that are offered by Women Building Futures. Established in Edmonton in 1998, the centre is expert at reaching women and helping them to determine their readiness for a career in trades, and preparing them for success in this work environment.

Successful marriage relationships don’t just happen, but require the partners to invest time and effort in communication. Lisa Petsche provides some tips for making it work.

From marriage to children, as Reuel Amdur reviews two books intended to help parents meet challenges they might face in raising their offspring, within the relationship and in the wake of divorce. Do you want to both look good and feel good about yourself? Sharon Mayr looks at a couple of businesses taking this dual approach, plus other new fashion and beauty products.

There are an ever-growing number of new food products and kitchen aids that can help us eat better and more enjoyably. Anne Stropel looks at some of the products that have recently come on the market. Love to travel, but have no one to go with? World traveller Narelle Reese explains why you should head off on your own.

Finally, our thanks go out to our many loyal readers, advertisers and information providers, without whom this consumer guide would not be possible.
