Otherwise, even non-consumers may like the entrepreneurial and marketing story around this event. The Eve...

The Surprising Benefits of CBD Apple Cannabis Gummies CBD Apple cannabis gummies have emerged as a popular and convenient way to enjoy the benefits of CBD. Combining the natural goodness of apples with the therapeutic properties of CBD, these gummies offer a host of benefits for both physical and mental well-being. Firstly, CBD, or cannabidiol, is known for its potential to alleviate stress and anxiety. When consumed in gummy form, CBD can provide a calming effect, promoting relaxation and a sense of tranquility. Additionally, CBD has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties, making it a promising option for those seeking relief from chronic pain and inflammation. The inclusion of apple flavor in these gummies not only enhances the taste but also adds to the nutritional value, as apples are rich in vitamins and antioxidants that support overall health. In conclusion, CBD Apple cannabis gummies offer a range of benefits, including stress relief, pain management, and overall welln...

Refinancing means getting out of your current mortgage and replacing it with a new one. A minimum of 20% home equity is required to complete a refinance. Since breaking your current mortgage comes with a fee, I can complete a personalized cost/benefit analysis so you can determine whether refinancing makes sense. 3 common reasons people refinance are: 1. Consolidate high-interest debt 2. Renovations 3. Access lowest-cost funds for a large expense http://www.mortgagewithmatt.ca/

  A THANK YOU FROM THE MANAGER At the end of 2017, the James A. Rutherford Funeral Home made a bold move – a departure from what some considered to be the norm. The old, dark and somewhat dingy funeral home on Albert Street was sold, and the business moved into two bright and spacious units across from the Canadian Legion at 804 Ontario Street, Stratford. The funeral home became Rutherford Cremation & Funeral Services having taken over the compassionate care that Heinbuck Funeral Home demonstrated for decades, before many knew who the Rutherford family is. Before I came on board as manager, at the end of 2018, the first full year of operation as this new entity, I regret only one thing: that the foresight wasn't there to call it Rutherford Cremation, Aquamation & Funeral Services. That pretty much encompasses it all in terms of funeral options in the Ontario landscape. And while all service options are indeed offered at Rutherford's, I must admit, the misconception of t...

We had a little impromptu breathing workshop here at dynafit last week 🫶🫁 Here's what we talked about: # 1 MAKE SURE YOU AREN'T HOLDING YOUR BREATH! This is in CAPS for a reason because it is the most important. Make sure you are breathing throughout your movement- especially when strength training! # 2 breath in during the "relaxation" portion of the exercise. Example: in a squat you should be inhaling as you lower yourself towards the floor. In a cable row, you would be inhaling as you return the weight back towards the stack. # 3 EXHALE as you exert the force. This is particularly important for exercises that require engagement of the core as the exhale portion of your breath allows for better contraction of the entire core muscle. Example: In a squat, you would exhale as you press through the movement to return to stand. In a cable row, you would exhale as you pull the weight towards you. RECAP: BREATHE during exercise Exhale while exerting the force Inhale duri...

 Mommas!! This program is designed to give you an individualized approach in a class setting.  Each class will start with a group warm up and then you get to go through a program that is set up specifically for you! This class will focus on breathing mechanics, reconnecting with your core as well as regaining strength and stability.   Babies are welcome! Non-members welcome!

This quick blog is to highlight one of our most recent partners, [The Bunker Stratford](https://www.bunkerstratford.com/) and a little colour on why we have linked arms. The Music In a theatre town with a trove of performing talent, there seems to be an absence of grass roots supporters of local music.  Whether it was because of the closure of a few venues who featured live music and local artists as a draw, or a couple years of lockdowns that prevented us gathering to enjoy live music, it is a relatively dry town in that respect. The Bunker has donned the mantle as the...
