Note from the Editor Family get-togethers. Going to church and fellowship. Weekend beach outings. After-work limes. Clubs and parties. Gym and hiking. These are just a few of the things people say they miss most since we have been dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic. No doubt the past year has been challenging on many levels and many of us yearn for life as we knew it in 2019 B.C. (Before Covid). I, too, had this thought in the early days. Then slowly weeks became months, and months turned into a year and we find ourselves still engaged in the battle. Unfortunately, COVID-19 is our present reality. It has superimposed itself into every aspect of our lives and forced us to change our behaviour as individuals and as a society. What it has not changed, however, is our human will to survive and persevere, our drive to conquer and innovate, our propensity for love and caring for one another, and our inimitable ability to assimilate and keep going. This is what is happening every day as people try to cope with and survive the ravages of COVID-19. Here at Heritage, we have further embraced technology and adjusted how we work and interact with one another. We have found ways to stay connected and socialise, virtually. We can access EAP services and support. We are soldiering on. This issue of the DrillDown is dedicated to each of you. It is a celebration of your drive that continues to propel you forward despite the pandemic. This issue signifies the fact that even though we cannot physically get together, we can still fight this virus together and be hopeful. Here’s to human will and we hope you enjoy this issue.
