Happy
Anniversary!

One year ago,
when the COVID-19 pandemic started, the Mill Woods Mosaic went online, after this multicultural community
newspaper had been printed monthly since 2008. One year later, I am happy to report that the Mill Woods Mosaic is still alive and kicking, thanks to our loyal advertisers and readers who have continued to support this local publication.

2020 was a tough year for many of us who have lost their jobs and businesses and had to adjust to online learning or working. The worst part was that, to date, more than 166,000 Albertans were infected, and more than 2.000 have lost their lives, due to the virus.

At the beginning of 2021, we thought there was light at the end of the tunnel, because vaccinations had started,
but since then, the number of new cases has increased dramatically, due to new variants of the virus, and we are now in the third wave of the pandemic. We still have to be patient, because it will take time until all Canadians will be vaccinated, and we have to continue being vigilant, stay home as much as possible, don’t gather with other people, wear masks, and keep physical distance.

Stay safe and healthy!
