Print Edition | Spring - Summer 2026 / Printemps - Été 2026
When writing as a form of creative expression and self-care began to emerge as a theme, the stories magically started coming our way. In this edition, you will find an article on “sense walks” for elementary-school children who wander in nature and then record their sensory experiences in writing. There is a story about adults at the C.A.R.E. Centre who take part in a lyric-writing workshop. And, we share with you the viewpoints from two different columnists who explain how writing can enhance well-being.
Simon Phaneuf’s articles in French give us insight into an inclusive initiative at the Opéra de Montreal, as well as the Capable Média podcast that has taken off.
Our guest columnist in this edition’s positive mental health section is child and adolescent psychologist Dr. Stephanie Margolese. She writes about dialectical behaviour therapy and how it can be helpful for parents and their teens to develop healthy coping skills.
The newly named Employment and Entrepreneurship section contains several good reads, including a story on a new podcast launched at an adult education centre that features stories from people who have overcome personal struggles. And if you enjoy reading about sports, you will find a nice selection of articles that touch on soccer, curling and hockey.
As always, we get inspired by your story ideas and are guided by your feedback. Enjoy this edition.
