Long lasting results from pandemic – will things ever return to “normal”? It was with great sadness that two businesses who I had a very close connection with recently decided to close their doors. Kingsway Conservatory where my son took music and cello for 12 years and which was a neighbourhood institution closed its doors and sold the building. Pandemic has changed demand and how music is being taught. The owner did not think it would return any time soon. Such a shame as it enriched my kids lives. The other business was Breathe yoga which was also a neighbourhood institution and helped so many in so many ways. My heart goes out to two great women who put their heart and souls into these businesses. Perhaps they will recreate in another place and another time. Good luck and all the best to all others with similar stories!
