t’s almost summer and we have a lot to look forward to! Fresh Vancouver is sponsoring and attending some fantastic events in the coming weeks, including the Osoyoos Celebrity Wine Festival June 9th to 12th hosted by Jason Priestly and Stephen Paige in the fabulous Okanagan. We’re also sponsoring the 13th annual Afternoon Tea with Kate Linder & Friends on July 23rd. All you Y&R fans will be thrilled to know that Kate Linder (a.k.a. Esther Valentine) and other Y&R celebs will be hosting high tea followed by an autograph signing, with all proceeds going to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. As the sun warms up, let’s remember that while we all need our vitamin D, the sun is the biggest contributing factor to the speed of the aging process. And it’s within our control. Simply by wearing a hat and avoiding peak sun hours, you can limit the damage wrought by UV rays and significantly slow the hands of time. Sun exposure leads not only to sun spots and collagen breakdown, but also to dangerous cancers like melanoma. This edition of Fresh Vancouver includes the inspiring story of Kathy Barnard, a melanoma survivor who has fought numerous battles against the disease and used the lessons she learned along the way to start the Save Your Skin Foundation, offering hope and guidance to late-stage melanoma sufferers. And speaking of inspiring women, our cover story for this issue is none other than Army and Navy President and CEO Jacqui Cohen. Jacqui has established herself as a respected Vancouver business woman and charity maven, and a force to be reckoned with. A week before the 50th annual Army and Navy shoe sale (where we scored some great designer shoes!), she invited my staff and me into her home to discuss the most important things in her life: her business, her charity, and above all, her daughter Kasondra. Here’s to a happy, healthy summer! Shelly Lynn Nellis Editor-In-Chief
