Éditorial
Here we are in 2013, having survived the end of the world predicted by the Mayans...or at least the end of a way of life. Which is
why, in this new year, on top of wishing you health, prosperity, joy and happiness, I would like to wish for a little magic in your
lives!
And what could be more magical than hoping to see things in a whole new light. Seeing a healthy community take up new
challenges together. Seeing smiles on the faces of children playing outside with their parents, in the middle of winter. Imagining
teenagers realizing their projects and thriving in their own community, and their region.
And who knows, we might even get the opportunity to discuss sustainable change when Québec en Forme has its large gathering
in 2013, with its theme, «Go! On fonce!» (Let’s Get Going!)
