The final choice for the destination of the President's Contest trip was not easy this year. In these difficult times, where Mother Nature unleashes its fury and media constantly report about storms and hurricanes. What can we say, aren't we lucky that here in Canada, we live in a relatively calm country.

We are lucky to live in a country where there's peace and where freedom of speech is allowed. We have a rich soil to cultivate, drinking water in abundance and lots of other advantages which make our quality of life kind of exceptional, and even enviable.

Our planet is precious to us, being myself a great nature lover, the culture of herbs and plants remains one of my priority. I am convinced that our survival depends on it, this is why I intend to continue the battle in order to keep on working in this field for a long time.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Don't forget that a good health is the key of a happy life.

Your president
Jacqueline B.Blouin
