B.C. strengthens tree-fruit sector, protects growers, workers

B.C. tree-fruit growers will benefit from three new or updated financial supports and changes to help stabilize their bottom line and overcome significant challenges posed by extreme weather, market instability and the recent closure of the BC Tree Fruits Cooperative.

The supports are part of a package of actions being taken to protect and strengthen the tree-fruit sector and support those whose livelihoods depend on it.

“Locally grown fruit is loved across B.C., but for the last few years, farmers and the industry as a whole have faced unprecedented challenges,” said Premier David Eby. “From extreme weather driven by climate change to the closure of the processing co-operative, growers need support if they are going to be able to survive and thrive in the future. We’re taking action now at the provincial level, and also championing important changes needed from federal government. Farmers need all levels of government to pitch in during this critical moment.”

The Province is enhancing its AgriStability program to raise the AgriStability compensation rate to 90% and double the compensation cap for all farmers for the 2024 program year. This will provide an estimated $15 million in immediate relief to farmers in need. This enhancement will help stabilize farm income and help farmers manage the increasing risk due to extreme weather. Late enrolment will also be available for producers not enrolled in the AgriStability program.

The new Tree Fruit Climate Resiliency program will provide $5 million to help tree-fruit farmers buy equipment and pursue projects that were not eligible under previous programs. This will strengthen farm resilience and preparedness for extreme weather. This program will build on the successful extreme weather preparedness program and recognizes the effect of climate-change events on the tree-fruit sector during the past few years.

“This has been a challenging time for farmers, including B.C. fruit growers. Our government has been listening to them. What we are hearing is everyone is facing different challenges, but the common denominator is that farmers need help now with their bottom line,” said Pam Alexis, Minister of Agriculture and Food. “Today’s announcement reflects both short-term support with more money available to farmers through AgriStability payments, and longerterm support with a new climate resiliency program so growers can plan and ensure there is a sustainable supply of B.C. cherries, peaches, apples and other tree fruits in future years.”

Sukhpaul Bal, president, BC Cherry Association, said: “The BC Cherry Association is pleased with today’s announcement by the B.C. government. Extreme weather events over the past five years have been devastating for agriculture in B.C., and As resilient as farmers are, this support recognizes these sudden changes in climate go far beyond what they can handle. Moving forward, British Columbia can and should be a leader in food production, but we recognize this needs an agricultural strategy that re-examines the entire food system and an unprecedented investment in agriculture. Finally, we would like to thank and acknowledge ministry staff for working tirelessly with industry leaders in providing this immediate support and we look forward to working collaboratively on long-term, sustainable strategies and solutions.”

To support the longevity and sustainability of the sector, Premier Eby and Alexis have directed the Ministry of Agriculture and Food to begin developing, in consultation with industry, options for a one-time fund with an emphasis on smaller producers.

“We are appreciative of the Province’s actions to support the tree-fruit sector, which has been grappling with significant challenges for the past four years,” said Peter Simonsen, president, BC Fruit Growers Association. “The enhancements to the AgriStability program and the introduction of the Tree Fruit Climate Resiliency program

are positive steps toward stabilizing our industry, and we are particularly encouraged by the development of a one-time Climate Change Response Fund that can provide immediate relief to our farmers who are on the front lines of climate change. However, we must remember this is just the first step in a long journey. There is much more work to be done to ensure the sustainability and growth of our sector. We look forward to working closely with the Province and all levels of government to ensure the longevity of the B.C. tree fruit sector.”

The Ministry of Jobs, Economic Development and Innovation has offered community transition team supports to the Town of

Oliver to assist adversely affected workers in the tree-fruit sector.

The Province continues to work directly with producers to mitigate impacts of the BC Tree Fruits Cooperative closure, including an industry-led emergency table created to find solutions to issues such as certifications for export, logistics and cash flow, as the Ministry of Agriculture and Food continues to connect growers to options for storage and packing facilities. The ministry has also been directed to explore options to support the co-operative's receiver and any private-sector interests in protecting certain functions of the BC Tree Fruits Cooperative to meet the needs of growers.

Preview - All-new, All-electric 2024 Jeep® Wagoneer S

The Jeep® brand is charging into the electrified SUV segment with the reveal of its first global battery-electric vehicle (BEV) – the 2024 Jeep Wagoneer S Launch Edition. The all-new, all-electric 2024 Jeep Wagoneer S will launch first in the U.S. and Canada in fall 2024 and later be available in markets around the world.

The Jeep Wagoneer S is offered exclusively as a BEV with an estimated range of more than 480 kilometres (300 miles) on a single charge, delivering 600 horsepower, lightning-quick 0-60 mph acceleration time of 3.4 seconds and 617 lb.-ft of instant torque. Impressive performance credentials paired with the Jeep brand-exclusive Selec-Terrain traction management system, Jeep Wagoneer S instills driving confidence and traction for all weather and road conditions.

“The launch of the all-electric Jeep Wagoneer S marks a new chapter in the storied history of the Jeep brand,” said Antonio Filosa, Jeep brand CEO. “Building upon nearly a century of innovation and design, this first global EV will introduce a whole new generation of owners to an experience that is distinctly Jeep and 100% electric in every way. With new energy in the Jeep vehicle lineup, ranging from EV to V-8, customers have never had more freedom to choose their own adventure.”

To make charging of this first global Jeep brand BEV quick and easy for customers, the Jeep Wagoneer

S carries an efficient 400-volt, 100-kilowatt-hour battery pack that allows owners to charge the vehicle from 20% to 80% in 23 minutes (with DC fast charger).

Every Jeep Wagoneer S Launch Edition includes a 48-amp Level 2 home charger or public charging credits of equal value through Free2move Charge, Stellantis’ 360-degree charging ecosystem, making it easy for customers to always be charged by delivering seamless charging and energy management. Wagoneer S customers can access the Free2move Charge app to conveniently search for charging stations, activate the charging session and keep track of charging history.

The foundation for the segment-leading characteristics of the 2024 Jeep Wagoneer S is the highly flexible, BEV-native STLA Large platform. Jeep brand designers and engineers flexed the STLA Large platform to adjust the length, width, suspension and powertrain configurations to tailor it specifically for the Jeep Wagoneer S to deliver instant torque and lightning-quick acceleration. Standard, all-electric, four-wheel drive delivers composed driving dynamics both on-road and in a variety of road conditions. Stellantis-designed electric drive modules (EDMs) independently power the front and rear wheels for instant torque response, while the Jeep brand-exclusive Selec-Terrain traction management system fea -

tures five distinct driving modes: Auto, Sport, Eco, Snow, Sand.

The Jeep Wagoneer S’s 3-in-1 EDMs combine the electric motor, gearing and power electronics into a single, compact unit that is both powerful and efficient. The front EDM is equipped with wheel disconnects to reduce energy draw when cruising and to help optimize range.

The use of new technologies and techniques played a crucial role in the overall development of the Jeep Wagoneer S. To improve the driving experience and reduce the overall noise and vibration levels to create a quiet interior cabin and a smooth ride, the Jeep engineering team improved body torsion stiffness by 35% over previous midsizesegment Jeep brand SUVs for superior ride, handling and ef -

fective response to driver input.

With a flexible architecture and open software-defined platform, the Jeep Wagoneer S can receive innovative features and services, including additional automated driving, performance and other technologies via over-the-air (OTA) updates. With OTA updates, the vehicle will continue to evolve.

Available in Quebec and British Columbia dealerships starting in fall 2024, the Wagoneer S Launch Edition has a starting price of $91,790 ($88,995 Canadian MSRP plus additional fees). Availability will expand to other provinces as production ramps up.

Single-lane-alternating

traffic scheduled on Highway 7 near Mission

Drivers are advised of an upcoming lane closure on Highway 7 between Murray and Stave Lake streets as construction continues to improve the commercial truck route through Mission.

Highway 7 will be reduced to singlelane-alternating traffic between Murray and Stave Lake streets from 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 9, 2024, until 5 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 12, 2024.

The work is necessary to stabilize the slope on the bank below the highway. The complexity of the project requires the lane closure over multiple days. A constructionzone speed limit will be in effect and drivers must obey all signage and traffic-control personnel.

Drivers can expect delays and should plan extra time or choose an alternative route.

Permanent repairs to Highway 8 will begin soon

Repairs to Highway 8 will begin soon to permanently restore the section approximately 15 kilometres east of Spences Bridge that was damaged by floods in 2021, and to enhance the highway’s climate resilience.

The Province completed the procurement phase of the Alliance contract for Highway 8 and chose AeconEmil Anderson Construction General Partnership (AEGP) with their design partners, Urban Systems and Basis Engineering to complete this section. Working as an integrated

team with the Province, design work will start this summer with construction to follow design. The project includes replacing two temporary structures with permanent bridges and building approximately three kilometers of connecting highway. These repairs will improve safe access for residents and ensure the highway can better withstand future weather events. Additional permanent repairs will also be made to the corridor damaged by the 2021 flooding.

Canadian consumers seek sustainability

As more Canadians are interested in sustainably grown food, various agricultural industries and farmers are embracing sustainable practices to meet the demands of conscientious shoppers. California strawberry growers, for example, focus on responsible farming practices that prioritize sustainability.

There is a high demand for strawberries in Canada – far more than domestic production can supply. Almost 90 per cent of strawberries imported into Canada come from California, which allows Canadians to enjoy their favourite berry yearround.

Many of these strawberries are grown on multi-generation farms using sustainable techniques to minimize

environmental impact. For instance, farmers use mechanical bug vacuums that effectively remove harmful insects, thereby reducing reliance on pesticides, release beneficial insects like ladybugs as a defence against pests and use other various organic practices known as integrated pest management.

The strawberry industry also invests millions of dollars into crop research, leading the world in environmental research dedicated to reducing pesticide use. Find more information on sustainable strawberry production at californiastrawberries.com.

“Thanks to our government’s ChildCareBC plan, hundreds more families will be able to access the child care they need, close to home,” said Mitzi Dean, B.C.’s Minister of State for Child Care. “We know that having access to secure child care spaces supports families and strengthens communities. Through these investments, more families will be able to pursue opportunities and will provide children with great early learning experiences.”

The new spaces were made possible with provincial and federal funding through the ChildCareBC New Spaces Fund, as well as the new federal Child Care Infrastructure Fund. More than $74 million was provided to First Nations, local governments and school districts to create these new child care spaces.

“These new spots will make a significant difference for families in British Columbia, providing them with the flexibility and support they need, while ensuring children have the best possible start in life,” said Jenna Sudds, federal Minister of Families, Children and Social Development. “We will keep working hard to create more spots

to get kids off wait lists and into highquality, affordable child care in their communities.”

The nine new child care centres will be located in: Esk’etemc First Nation, Homalco First Nation, G aw Tlagée, Kelowna, Langford, Metchosin, Peachland, Pemberton and West Vancouver.

“The first five years are the most crucial in a child's life,” said Amanda Dowhy, board chair, School District 62. “Our board of education is proud to collaborate with the Government of British Columbia with the support from the Government of Canada to create more child care spaces for families in our district. These new spaces will offer children a place to thrive and grow, preparing them to become future learners in our schools.”

When the new facilities are open, families will benefit from affordable child care fees through the Province’s fee-reduction program, which reduces the cost of child care by as much as $900 per child per month.

Since 2018, ChildCareBC accelerated space-creation programs have helped fund more than 39,000 new licensed child care spaces in B.C. Of these, more than 11,600 are thanks in part to the 2021-22 to 2025-26 CanadaBritish Columbia Canada-wide Early Learning and Child Care Agreement.

The best careers involve doing some thing that you like, that fuels your mind, and that is also suited to your unique strengths. Here are four things to think about when you’re on the hunt to find a job or career that suits you.

How social are you?

For many, one of the silver linings to come out of the pandemic was the opportunity to do their job from the comfort of home and avoid the time and stress of commuting. Others couldn’t wait to get back to office for the watercooler chats and other social outlets. If you’re the kind of person who thrives on both, look for a role with a hybrid work environment.

What are your dealbreakers?

Does the thought of sitting at a desk in front of a computer for an entire workday terrify you? Try looking outside the corporate office world for more dynamic roles, that involve more

extra sweater as soon as the tempera tures drop, maybe consider a job that’s based indoors (at least for the winter).

What makes you happiest?

Do you get a thrill working on your own crunching numbers? Do you thrive on meeting and interacting with new people? Do you want to contribute to society? Consider whether roles you’re exploring will scratch that itch and where you can find pride in your work.

Consider a career in agriculture

While a career in agriculture might conjure up images of fields and tractors, the reality is, career possibilities in agriculture span a huge variety of sectors, including IT, communications, policy development, industry engagement, and science and technology. If you are interested in public service, consider Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.

Navigating Your Career Path in a Dynamic Job Market

In today’s fast-paced job market, navigating your career path can feel overwhelming. With rapid technological advancements and shifting industry demands, individuals must be proactive and adaptable to secure their future.

First, it’s essential to assess your skills and interests. Take time to reflect on what you enjoy doing and where your strengths lie. Online assessments and career counseling services can provide valuable insights into potential career paths that align with your passions and skills.

Networking plays a crucial role in career development. Engaging with professionals in your desired field can open doors to new opportunities and provide insider knowledge about industry trends. Attend workshops, conferences, and networking events to expand your connections. Online platforms like LinkedIn also offer excellent opportunities to connect with mentors and industry leaders.

Continuous learning is another key component of career advancement. As industries evolve, staying updated on the latest trends and technologies is vital. Consider pursuing online courses or certifications to enhance your skill set. This commitment to lifelong learning not only boosts your resume but also demonstrates your dedication to professional growth.

Additionally, flexibility and a willingness to adapt are essential in today’s work environment. Many companies now offer remote work options and flexible hours, which can lead to a better work-life balance. Embrace these opportunities and be open to exploring various roles within your field, as they can lead to unexpected career growth.

In conclusion, navigating your career in a dynamic job market requires selfassessment, networking, continuous learning, and adaptability. By taking these proactive steps, you can build a fulfilling and resilient career path that aligns with your goals and aspirations.

How newcomers can find meaningful careers in Canada

If you’ve recently moved to Canada and are frustrated by a tough job market, you’re not alone. Many newcomers struggle to find similar positions to those they held back home and take on survival gigs to support their families. Fortunately, there are many things you can do to get closer to your dream job. Here are some tips to get started:

Research your field in the local economy

Learning more about your industry in Canada can help you understand the unique challenges and opportunities here, and better position yourself in cover letters and interviews. Plus, it can mean knowing which jobs and skills are most in demand and what competitive salary ranges are.

To get this key info, check out professional association websites, newspaper articles and industry publications. Even expensive insider conferences will post trends and event summaries on their websites.

Update your resume for the Canadian market

Did you know that in most fields, a resume should be a maximum of two pages? This is shorter than the norm in many other countries, so it’s important

to keep it brief and focus on your main achievements. Hiring managers like to see how past experiences directly relate to the job you’re applying for, specific examples rather than generic skills and numbers to quantify your success.

Use informational interviews to network

Informational interviews are popular in Canada, and a great way to get an insider’s perspective from a leader in your field. During an info interview, you’ll be able to have a friendly conversation with them over coffee or virtually and ask questions about their career path, education and more.

Not sure where to find an industry leader to talk to? Contact the CEO or other executives of companies you’re interested in – you’ll be surprised how many are happy to speak with you. Just make sure to keep it casual; this is a long-term networking play, not the time to ask for a job.

Look for a bridging program in your industry

Organizations dedicated to helping newcomers succeed are a great resource that can help you overcome barriers and get your foot in the door. If you’re in the tech sector, check out ComIT, which provides free technology training and help with job skills like resume building and interviewing. The charity was started by an immigrant from Argentina and connects program participants with employers looking for IT professionals.

4 things to know about zeroemission vehicles

Did you know that electric vehicles (EVs) were cruising around for decades before the first cars powered by internal combustion engines hit the road? EVs, also known as zeroemission vehicles, or ZEVs, have come a long way since the first ones were invented nearly a century ago. If you’re curious about buying one, here are four things you should know.

Cost to own

Electricity isn’t free, but the cost to charge an EV battery is far lower than the price of gas. And beyond the savings at the pump, EVs can be cheaper to maintain than standard vehicles. For one, there’s no need for regular oil changes and tune-ups. There are also very few moving parts in an EV compared to a gas or diesel vehicle, meaning fewer things to wear out and break down, like transmission and exhaust systems.

Range per charge

One of the main concerns people have about EVs is their range. Most EVs on the market have a driving range of at least 200 to 300 km, with the topperforming ones being able to travel 600 km or more on a single charge. If you need a mix of long and shorter trips, you might consider a plug-in hybrid vehicle that runs on battery power and then switches over to a combustion engine when the battery is depleted.

Rebate eligibility

Across Canada, the federal government’s Incentives for Zero-Emission Vehicles Program offers rebates of up to $5,000 for the purchase or lease of EVs for personal use.

There’s also a program for businesses looking to buy or lease medium- or heavy-duty work vehicles. It’s called the Incentives for Medium- and Heavy-Duty Zero-Emission Vehicles Program, with incentives of up to $200,000 per eligible vehicle.

A savoury soup suitable for lunch, dinner or a hearty snack

This is a deliciously rich and creamy mushroom soup that you make in one pot. It makes a hearty supper served with a warm buttered roll or rustic crusty bread for dipping. Leftovers can be packed in a thermos for a homemade school lunch, or a heart-warming snack after a fall outing.

Classic Cream of Mushroom Soup

Prep time: 10 minutes

Cook time: 25 minutes

Makes: 6 servings

Ingredients:

2 tbsp (30 ml) oil

1.5 lbs (680 grams) mixed mushrooms (crimini, shiitake, oyster), sliced

1 cup (250 ml) yellow onion, finely diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp (5 ml) Italian seasoning

1/2 tsp (2 ml) each, salt and fresh ground pepper

4 tbsp (60 ml) butter

1/4 (60 ml) cup all-purpose flour

4 cups (1 L) chicken or vegetable broth

1 cup (250 ml) heavy cream

Fresh thyme or chopped parsley for garnish

Directions:

Heat oil in a large soup pot or Dutch oven on medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and onions; cook, stirring occasionally until the mushrooms are browned and the onions are translucent, about 8-10 minutes. Remove half of the mixture from the pot; set aside.

Add garlic, Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper to the pot; cook 30 seconds until fragrant.

Mushrooms: A surprisingly sustainable and versatile ingredient

Behold the humble mushroom. While most of us probably think of them as a tasty ingredient to add to soups, pizzas and veggie platters, mushrooms are both a versatile and sustainable foodstuff.

They’re water-friendly

While mushrooms themselves are mostly water, they require a lot less water to grow than many other foods we eat. It takes about 6.8 litres (1.8 gallons) to grow 0.5 kg (1 lb.) of mushrooms. Many of the other common vegetables that you find in your local supermarket can require an average of 17.6 litres (4.65 gallons) of water per pound of food and some animal proteins can tip the scales at an average of 1,180 litres (312 gallons) to produce a pound of protein.

They’re local

Mushrooms are grown by Canadian producers year-round, from coast to coast. When you buy from local growers, you reduce the carbon footprint needed to get the food from farm to table. The mushrooms themselves also

have a small carbon footprint of 0.5 kg of carbon dioxide per pound (0.5 kg) of food.

They don’t need a lot of room

It takes very little space to grow a lot of mushrooms. With just 0.4 hectares (1 acre) of space, you can grow up to 450,000 kg (1 million lbs.) of mushrooms.

They’re energy-efficient

Growing mushrooms requires very little energy. In fact, you can grow one pound of mushrooms using just 1 kWh of electricity. That’s the same amount of energy needed to run a 100-watt lightbulb for 10 hours.

They’re a diverse, versatile ingredient

With dozens of varieties to choose from, including white, crimini, portabella, shiitake, oyster and king oyster, fresh mushrooms can be consumed raw or cooked, and used in an almost endless variety of recipes including soups, stews, pasta, stir-fries and salads.

Add butter, stirring until melted. Add flour, stirring to coat mushrooms, about 30 seconds.

Slowly add broth, stirring to combine. Allow soup to simmer, about 10 minutes.

Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Return reserved mushrooms to the pot.

Add cream, stirring to combine. Allow the soup to simmer for about 5 minutes, until thickened and creamy.

Serve hot, garnished with fresh thyme or parsley.

Tips:

Remove and discard the stems from shiitake mushrooms as they can be woody.

Replace the heavy cream with halfand-half cream (10 per cent fat) to reduce the fat.

4 creative ways to use frozen strawberries

Despite bringing us a wealth of benefits, frozen foods, including fruit, are often misunderstood. Frozen fruit is easy to store, and you can prevent food waste by freezing your fresh strawberries before letting them spoil in the fridge. Frozen strawberries can be used in any recipe that requires dicing, pureeing or baking without affecting the quality of the dish. Here are four ways to use frozen strawberries to create delicious memories any time of year.

Strawberry jams and fillings

Strawberry Heart Hand Pies are made with flaky, ready-made pie crust and filled with a sweet, thickened strawberry mixture. They bake to golden perfection in just 30 minutes. Using frozen strawberries to make the filling gives you as vibrant and flavourful a jam as using fresh strawberries. You can cut the crusts into a variety of shapes to make this a fun treat for any occasion.

Strawberry beverages

Dessert is covered, but what about drinks? Spiced Strawberry Sangria

might be just what your party needs. It is a crowd-pleasing fall cocktail bursting with fruit and warm spices. Frozen strawberries are particularly well suited to this recipe since the changes to their texture help release more flavour into the punch.

Strawberry colour and flavour

Another great way to enjoy more strawberry flavour is with a Winter Strawberry Cake. Moist and fluffy, it features a creamy strawberry frosting made with a luscious strawberry puree. Frozen strawberries give this recipe a wonderful pink colour, and the leftover strawberry puree can be used in other recipes or frozen for later.

Strawberry twists on classic dishes

The versatility of frozen strawberries gives you an easy way to put an exciting twist on classic dishes. Strawberry Brandy BBQ Sauce combines the sweetness of strawberries with a hint of brandy and the heat of jalapeños, making it an ideal complement to ribs or grilled meats.

Any hectic activity that has just started to take shape can continue up to early September. This can include the need for much communication or running around, even on a daily basis. It might make you wonder this week whether some sort of pleasurable activity should be wound down, so you can apply yourself properly.

Be careful that you don’t become overly confident and as a result either take risks or overextend yourself. There is too much that is not entirely evident right now especially if somebody else feels they should have more say or have a greater degree of independence in some way. Time will bring things out into the open.

You might need to accept where you have got to, which may not be as much as you had planned to do from mid July. It may start to become obvious that financial expenses in other directions will be more than you had previously anticipated. This could continue on until early September, so it would be wise to pull back now.

You will need a lot of patience, especially in any situation where you are working with a group of people. You would be far better to sit back and observe rather than attempting to put your plans fully into action. Give out enough information to stimulate conversation. It is what they avoid or disagree with that will tell you a lot.

Something you hadn’t planned on could need your attention so that you create a balanced situation for yourself before matters move on in some way. Involvement with a group of people on either a work or personal level

You can experience others putting themselves first which puts a strain on things important to you. The realisation that this could be something that develops more in the future could be a wake up call to give greater attention to what it is that you want as time goes on. Giving yourself thinking time to mid August is a good idea

Focus on anything you are determined to develop more for your own independence in the future. You can realise that contemplation alone will not move things forward. From now to early September you need to look at the commitments that would need to be taken on. Doing this in stages will help you to get used to the changes.

Someone who is very much an individual and determined to do things in their own way could be an encouragement for you to realise certain obligations that need to change to create more balance in your life. This might encourage you to pay greater attention, even emulate

The detail involved in doing something properly may be of little interest to those who would rather create an impression in the quickest way possible. This could be more than frustrating. You might need to weigh up whether this would be better dropped, especially if you realise that most of the work could be left to you.

Someone else could seem secretive with their ideas up to mid August. This doesn’t seem to interfere with your need to be able to maintain a structure of doing things in your own way, which you feel is important to keep under your own control. There should be the opportunity

A pleasant and unexpected surprise could come your way from someone else. This may stimulate you to think about future possibilities quite differently, especially if it fits with what you enjoy. What you need to manage on daily basis will be busy and will tend to grow, rather than shrink up to early September so stay on track.

Alternative ideas on how to make things more pleasant in situations you need to deal with on a regular basis can be a big help in getting some matters completed. This might be due to dealing with different people, particularly up to mid August. You can make a lot of progress up to early

Budgeting tips for post-secondary students

Back to school is an exciting time for post-secondary students, but it can also be a source of financial stress.

Here are three tips to help you make a financial plan for campus life and beyond.

Make a budget

It may not sound riveting, but budgeting is the best way to manage your finances.

First, you need to determine your short- and long-term goals. These could include things like reducing your weekly expenses or paying off your student loan.

Then, you need to evaluate your “needs” and “wants.” You need a place to stay, food and clothes. But you may also want to take a road trip with your friends for March break. A budget will help you determine what you can and can’t afford or help you save for a specific objective.

Finally, list your income, savings and expenses. Consider all costs, from big ones like tuition to small ones like your daily coffee. Enter this information in a tool such as the Budget Planner

developed by the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada. Adjust amounts in each category to balance your budget.

Keep track of your spending

Sticking to your budget is not always easy. Keep your receipts and bills, and compare your budget to what you spend at the end of each month.

If there are important differences, figure out why. Were there big-ticket items, like new furniture, that won’t be repeated each month? Consider setting spending limits to help you reduce costs if you tend to overspend in certain categories regularly.

Get ready for the unexpected

Keep in mind that unexpected expenses will occur, from additional books to travelling home for holidays. That’s why it’s important to build an emergency fund.

It may sound out of reach, but you can start by putting aside even a small amount on a regular basis to deal with unexpected circumstances. Knowing that you have this buffer will help relieve financial stress and set you up for success.

Navigating Stress: Practical Tips for Daily Life

In today’s fast-paced world, stress is a frequent challenge. Balancing work, family, and personal responsibilities can feel overwhelming. However, effective stress management is key to maintaining physical and mental well-being. Here are some practical tips to help you stay balanced.

First, prioritize self-care by carving out time for activities that relax and rejuvenate you. Simple practices like taking a daily walk, reading, or engaging in mindfulness exercises can make a significant difference. Regular physical activity releases endorphins, which are natural stress relievers, while relaxation techniques such as deep breathing or meditation help calm the mind.

Setting realistic goals is crucial. Break larger tasks into smaller, manageable steps to avoid feeling overwhelmed.

Celebrate small achievements along the way to stay motivated and maintain a sense of progress. This approach helps in managing tasks effectively without excessive stress. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is also important. Opt for a balanced diet and avoid excessive caffeine and sugar. Adequate sleep supports mental clarity and emotional stability, so aim for consistent sleep patterns. Finally, manage your time effectively. Use planners or digital tools to organize tasks and set aside specific times for work and relaxation. This balance helps reduce stress and improves overall well-being.

By incorporating these strategies into your daily life, you can better manage stress and enhance your overall quality of life.
