I cherish my stays and moments at Intercontinental Hotels. I am a fan and have an affinity for the experiences. Here are two conversations with top administrators in two of the many properties that circle the world: Athens and Lisbon. In world capitals Intercontinental is the go-to for quality and care. The level of high touch service makes these a touchstone: enjoyment is their genuine goal.

April Fluevog offers more than clarity if you are dealing with an estate... especially if you agreed to be the executor of a will... and you have a house to clear of its contents before it can go on the market. That is another daunting task! What should you dispose of... what should you keep?Visit Simply Estate Services – Senior Transitions & Estate ClearingListen to this episode and learn about emptying a house and how relatives often get predatory. Bequests become more than negotiating points and property becomes a battleground. Do you know you become legally and financial responsible when you agree to be an executor? When someone dies often families fight. It can become a multiyear process. April explains how to follow some valuable steps. The first one is to change all the locks on the doors of the home in question. From her experience this is vital especially if you know someone will be contesting the will. Bitterness between siblings can become poisonous. The executor is an administrator, not a labourer nor counsellor. This Vancouver company can help you... if you live elsewhere maybe there someone else who can be of assistance, but don't be afraid to do what is right, what is necessary to be a good executor.

Our cities are changing so rapidly. Solid sixties and fine fifties homes with fir timber beams and real hardwood flooring are not trash. My guest Glyn Lewis is not just saving materials from landfill, but his company is helping on both ends of the transformation. For the contractor/land acquisition company who might just demolish this is a much better route. www.renewaldevelopment.ca comes in with solutions: recover what can be repurposed, and relocate whole structures... if it is feasible.Think of the logistics! We talk about Vancouver, but why not your city?

Ever notice how sometimes you don't meet people until it is the right time? I walked by Harbourview Church and Living Edge so often, but curiosity never prompted me to look into their streetside gathering spot. Then one day I had to step in and ask what they were about. In this episode of QOL learn how Neil, Terry, and so many volunteers ensure those who have need are given the opportunity to choose food they may not be able to access for themselves, for their families. The price squeeze of 2026 is just one factor in this. Some come for community spirit, while others need conversation, still more need food equity, food equality, The tables are set up, and shoppers (no cash transactions take place) are offered choice and not just cast-offs, day-olds, or beyond best before dates, but quality ingredients.Maybe you have organizations like Harbourview and Living Edge in your community... or maybe you can replicate the idea and help those who need a hand up.
