Unconditional Love Colleen Marek Is Living on Her Own and Loving Life Unconditional Love Colleen Marek is living on her own and loving life. She loves dancing, hanging out with her friends, bowling and spending time with her boyfriend. There was a time when she couldn’t have imagined doing any of this… It was 1986 when Ken and Phyllis Marek brought their beautiful baby girl home from hospital. They were excited to introduce Colleen to her new family, friends and especially her brother, Trevor. Everyone was thrilled with Colleen’s arrival. Within a few months they began to worry. Colleen wasn’t meeting her developmental milestones. At six months, babies hold their heads up, roll over and some even crawl, but Colleen wasn’t doing any of this. Anxious, Ken and Phyllis took their young baby to a doctor. Test after test came back normal. Colleen was a medical mystery. After six more months of searching school and made referrals so Colleen could have and tests, a CAT scan revealed she had a rare special equipment. condition called Shizencephaly.

  • Reinvention: the Saviour of Canadian Malls?
    REINVENTION: THE SAVIOUR OF CANADIAN MALLS? Now more than ever, malls and the retailers alike must compete with the demands and expectations of both businesses and customers - ageing infrastructure, competition from eCommerce, and the need to create unique retail experiences all mean traditional malls no longer play the role they once did. canadasbeststorefixtures.com 1 Malls, as we know them, are changing. And many are changing not only to serve customers but to serve retailers, now and into the future. As the way we shop continues to change and evolve, retailers and malls have to find unique ways to adapt to consumer needs. Many malls across Canada are reinventing themselves not just for the short-term needs of consumers, but for long-term demand, thinking ahead for the future of retail. For many years, malls across Canada were thought of as ageing relics, large outlets for outdated retail experiences. And it wasn’t just eCommerce that was hurting malls; specialty stores, stand-alone retail, and D2C brands were all on the rise, giving malls a run for their money. Many thought the traditional mall was dead in the water. That is, until some malls in Canada chose to reinvent themselves. Malls are now being transformed into shopping destinations where retail is intermingled with work, life, and play, offering retailers a unique opportunity to get in on the ground level of something bigger and better, driving foot traffic and sales to physical stores. In addition to redevelopment and infrastructure, we’re seeing mall owners and leaseholders invest in initiatives like marketing and advertising to support their retailers, responding to the demand from retailers to offer more than just space for lease.
