What's New

Can you believe 2015 is almost over? I don’t know about you, but this year flew by. With another year coming to an end, it’s time to start thinking about 2016 and how we can make it your best year yet. For small business owners, it’s the perfect time to plan annual goals, milestones, and even set some New Year’s resolutions.

New Year’s Eve is just around the corner! Are you planning a party this year to ring in 2016 with your family and friends? If you are, you know how much time and effort it can take to host – from invitations to food, drinks, decorations, party favors, and much more, there is no shortage of things you have to get in order if you want to have a successful party and kick off the new year right.

Home safety is important around the holidays. You have a lot of people coming in and out, you are putting up decorations, having packages delivered, and you have to contend with shovelling. You also have to ensure your home is safe and secure, reducing the odds of your home becoming a target for thieves.

With the holiday season approaching, now is the perfect time for a reminder to refrain from drinking and driving. December is also National Impaired Driving Prevention month. If you have not seen them already, expect to see a steady increase of RIDE programs in your area. The good news is fatalities involving drunk drivers are declining, but we still have work to do.
