How to connect more at the dinner table this fall News Canada
As schedules get busier, it’s the perfect time to slow down, gather around the table and enjoy comforting weeknight dinners that bring the whole family together. It doesn’t take an elaborate setup; here are some simple techniques you can try: Keep meal planning simple. There’s a difference between simple and boring. It’s still important to keep things interesting. You can consider
themed suppers, such as taco Tuesdays, to give family members something fun to look forward to while removing some of the guesswork for you. Having a few go-to recipes ready before the week begins can take the guesswork out of dinner time. One trick is to plan a couple of meals that share ingredients. This helps make your grocery list simpler, cuts down on prep and can minimize food waste. Many proteins are
versatile enough to do this with. For example, one pack of chicken breasts can slot into a few meals through the week; a cream sauce pasta on Monday, pulled chicken tacos Tuesday, chicken stew on Wednesday. Set aside time for supper. In order to enjoy more connection at supper time, it’s important to respect that time itself. Really, what you’re doing is creating a meaningful ritual for your family. Continued on page 5

How to connect more at the dinner table this fall Continued from page 4
Smartphones are a particular distraction to consider dealing with. You can have a rule in place where everyone leaves their phones on silent, outside the room where you’ll be eating. If you do this, it’s important to set the example and always leave your phone out of family mealtime.
Having a designated time and space to eat can also encourage more mindful eating. It gives people the opportunity to slow down and listen to their bodies, it takes a little while for the sensation of being full to reach from the stomach to the brain. Make the most of mealtime. Family bond-
ing can start well before everyone sits down at the table. You can get family members involved in the meal in safe, fun ways. For example, if supper has a side salad, young ones can help sprinkle in some of the ingredients, toss it or even select the dressing. One trick is to give everyone a small job.
Sitting down together at the table helps focus everyone on each other. You can encourage conversation with some open-ended questions; for shy or introverted kids, try asking about an interest of theirs that you genuinely want to hear about. Once supper, and the conversations are over, clearing the table together
can make supper feel like a shared experience from start to finish. When you let go of the pressure to make everything perfect and put the focus back on being present, you can turn weeknight dinners into a small ritual your family looks forward to. You can find tips at mapleleaf.com/proteinpower

Planning to make the most of your retirement years Pexel Photo
News Canada
As your retirement journey continues and you cross off long-time list items, like travel, it clears more room for you to see the bigger picture. What’s next for you? Now that you have the freedom to choose how to spend your time, as a more experienced retiree, here are three important questions to start thinking about: What costs are you prepared for? One trap
some people fall into is thinking of aging in place at home as the “budget” option and moving to a retirement community as the “expensive” option. The truth is that staying in your home as you age also has costs that are important to consider: Property taxes and home maintenance, including snow removal, yard work, replacing fixtures such as water heaters or HVAC systems, as well as periodic repair to out-
door elements. Estimated range: one to four percent of your home’s value per year. Safety improvements to the home, such as a chair lift, walk-in bathtub, accessible height toilet, grab bars, lighting improvements and railing updates. Estimated range: $6,000 to $40,000 in onetime costs. In-home care ranging from minimal housekeeping assistance to a personal support worker, health
care aide or live-in nurse. Estimated range: $4,000 to $30,000 per year, possibly over $70,000 if you need significant daily care. Are you ready to downsize? The idea of moving to a smaller space with fewer possessions can feel daunting. But many other seniors have done it and are living even more happily than before. Here are some things to keep in mind: Letting go of your things doesn’t have to mean throwing them out. You can gift items to family and friends as a way to keep treasured memories alive and cared for; objects can find new life and make a difference to someone in need through donation. You can take things at your own pace. By leaning on people you trust for support, you can break down the logistics and details of a downsize and move, making them much more manageable. If you have friends who have downsized, you can speak with them to get a sense of what to expect. How do you make the most of the freedom and opportunity that comes with being retired? Struc-
ture, purpose and socialization will always be helpful to have in your life. Without them, it can be easy to become isolated or lonely. One way to be part of a community is to join one. There are retirement residences across Canada focused on helping seniors live connected, social lives with old friends and new. “One of the things I hear often from residents is they feel empowered to continue living life on their own terms because there’s a built-in support system of friends and people who can provide for a worry-free lifestyle,” says Tamara Ross, vice president of clinical services at Sienna Senior Living. The key is to stay open to new experiences and connections. By calling a friend, joining a group class, learning a new skill or pursuing a long-forgotten hobby, you can find purpose in the everyday moments that bring joy, connection and a sense of accomplishment.

Made in Camrose Region, where quality meets community By Nadine Leming
Made in Camrose Region is a free local campaign spotlighting the people who grow, make, and serve local products in our community. The intention of this program is to help people explore everything grown, crafted, and served here in the Camrose region. Membership benefits are available at zero cost and unlocks access to the program. The County’s economic development department is excited to grow the community with this expanded initiative and include members of existing Food Artisans of Camrose County. Lina Petkevicine is the County’s economic development officer. She said, “Made in the Camrose Region is really the next chapter of Food Artisans of Camrose County. We had a great foundation, but through conversations with local businesses we saw an opportunity to grow the program and include more of the people who make our region unique.” The new program connects the farm-to-table supply chain, artisans and local dining businesses and unites them by a shared regional umbrella. The objective is to simplify how people can uncover local goods and services while offering members more opportunities to grow their businesses. Lina added, “It’s about helping people discover what is made here, supporting our local businesses, and creating more opportunities for them to connect, collaborate and grow. We have so many great products and businesses right here in our region, and we want people to know about them.” On November 5, Made in Camrose Region will showcase the new brand and introduce the new identity of the program. People interested in learning more about the program and the benefits of membership are encouraged to come out. This event will unify producers, makers, businesses and community partners. Members can take advantage of professional product photography for the program guide and website. For producers that locally grow food and products, or have locally crafted and created products as well as a restaurant or café offering local dining experiences will want to check out Made in Camrose Region. The launch of Made in Camrose Region begins at 4 p.m. at the Bill Fowler Centre. For information on how to register for this free event, email ecdev@county.camrose.ab.ca

called Bingo Beats & Spaghetti Eats. The evening begins with a delicious spaghetti dinner, followed by the main event. This is bingo at its best. Instead of a caller calling out traditional numbers, participants will
get to listen to a clip of a song and try to find it on their card. Players are encouraged to sing and dance along throughout the event. Darcy Ledene, SCAS board president, said, “Our goal for this event is to
get a lot of young families out. This is a great family event raising money for a great cause.” He continued, “What this does is allows the school to continue operating with rising food costs and carry on providing a
more nutritious meal than before.” Darcy added, “Donations will be gratefully accepted, with all proceeds going directly to the New Norway School Breakfast Club. Let’s fill the Spartan Crunch cereal box!” The doors at the Silver Creek Multi-plex open at 5 p.m. on October 17. Supper begins at 5:30 p.m. with Bingo Beats to follow about 6:30 p.m. The cheque presentation with a final tally of donations will happen after 8:30 p.m. To reserve your spot, go to the SCAS ticketing site at https://silvecreek agsociety.goigniter.com/ events/45481-bingo-beatsspaghetti-eats
Is it possible to make food packaging more sustainable? News Canada
Everyday Canadians are becoming more mindful of the waste they produce and looking for ways to reduce their footprints and so are manufacturers. One of the biggest factors in making products more sustainable is rethinking what those products come in. There’s more going on behind even seemingly simple packaging changes than you might expect. Designing packaging that’s functional and recyclable is a complex engineering challenge. There’s a lot to balance: Packaging plays a critical role in protecting products, extending their shelf life and reducing food waste. It also needs to appeal to customers and meet their expectations while supporting recycling efforts. These priorities can sometimes compete with each other, something that makes packaging easier for a customer to open might
affect how well it protects the product or keeps it fresh. Different products also have different needs, which is why they often need different packaging solutions. “Behind the scenes, teams are thinking and making decisions about every part of virtually every product.,” said Vlad Rebellon, senior director of responsible sourcing at Loblaw. “Small changes, like switching to a recyclable material, can have a meaningful impact when introduced across millions of products. Larger innovations, such as reusable and standardized containers, can help reduce waste and support a more circular economy. But every change still has to protect the product and meet customers’ needs.” Making packaging more sustainable takes collaboration. Experts across multiple fields, including packaging engineers, material scientists and product experts, working together to
find ways to reduce the environmental impact of packaging without compromising its quality. Take a product like ground coffee: Entire teams work out which materials will best protect the coffee, how the package should function and whether it can be made more recyclable or with less material. Once they’ve come up with a design, it takes extensive testing to make sure the packaging keeps the coffee fresh. It takes bringing these teams of experts together to create packaging that doesn’t compromise convenience or freshness while still being sustainable. The product packages lining grocery store shelves may seem simple, but there’s a great deal of thought that goes into them. You can learn more about the design decisions that go into sustainable packaging and the collaboration needed to make it happen at loblaw.ca/en/plastics

Four facts about Canada’s cooking oil News Canada
Canola is a staple of Canadian kitchens and store shelves, common enough that it’s easy to overlook. But there’s more to it than most people realize. Here are four facts about canola that can provide a new perspective on what’s going on behind those yellow flowers: It’s a Canadian invention. The name “canola” is a blending of “Canada (can-)” and “oil, low acid (-ola)”. That’s because it was Canadian scientists and farmers, working together, who crossbred and engineered rapeseed plants to produce healthier oil with much less erucic acid. It continues to develop and improve to this day, in research institutions and on family-owned farms. It’s a healthy addition to the kitchen. Social media can contain conflicting and sometimes inaccurate health information, but Health Canada’s food guide recommends canola as a cooking oil because of its healthy fat makeup. It has the most omega-3 fats and the lowest level of saturated fat of any common plantbased oil. It also has zero trans fat (the worst kind) and plenty of monounsaturated fat (the good kind). With its high smoke point, canola doesn’t lose quality during frying, sautéeing or baking. With that and its neutral flavour, canola is a heart-healthy go-to cooking option for a wide range of dishes. Canada’s bees and canola plants support each other. Bees, an essential pollinator, are a success story in Canada with 829,000 colonies nationwide, up from just 600,000 in the early 2000s. 70 per cent of them are in Western Canada, often gathered around canola fields; the bright yellow flowers contain plenty of nectar and pollen, and bloom for long periods. It’s used far outside the kitchen. Canadian canola has a surprising number of uses, from manufacturing, to being used in a range of products. It’s in pet foods, some environmentally friendly fabrics, even beauty products. It’s also used as a sustainable biodiesel, with lifecycle emissions 90 per cent lower than fossil fuels. Canola is a lot like Canada itself: innovative, industrious, versatile and quietly doing good. And like Canada, it’s the product of people cooperating and figuring out new ways to help themselves, their environment and each other. You can learn more of the story at hellocanola.ca
