HELLO THERE IrsquoD LIKE to first thank you for taking the time to read our latest issue We hope this magazine finds you in great health and full of positive energy to share with all those that may cross your path

Irsquod like to take this opportunity to enhance your consumerentrepre-neur experience by offering you valuable insight - infor-mation that Irsquove personally collected over the past six months while combin-ing both sectors Itrsquos not surprising that the most renowned surveys state that 93 of North Americans search their smartphones before making purchase decisions Talk about being plugged in Yes - it is a fact that when people want to know do buy or go they turn to their smartphones

f i rst Google recently released a study prov-ing that 30 of all mobile searches are related to loca-tions (ie where to buyfind certain products and what time certain stores open) 76 of people who search on their smartphones for products nearby visit a business within a day and 28 of those searches for that product nearby result in purchases When you do the math itrsquos obvious that a businessesrsquo online personal-ity is extremely important

Isnrsquot it surprising given the above that even with all this valuable information available at everyonersquos fin-gertips studies and surveys still found that over 50 of business owners in North America donrsquot invest much time or money on updating

their websitesocial media platforms So how are these business remaining successful Whatrsquos their secret Well we all know that the pen is mightier than the sword - thatrsquos why print remains such a via-ble option for information even in this technological age

Most consumers turn to online surveys and reviews to share their experiences with different business however not every busi-ness owner is in favour of adapting to the online world And thatrsquos okay Top Choice Media is there for all our clients - what-ever their needs We will continue to study peoplersquos wants and and deliver the trusted services they can rely on - online or in print

The Risk of Loaning Your VehicleDID YOU KNOW THAT LENDING YOUR CAR ALSO MEANS YOU ARE LENDING YOUR INSURANCEDavid Hollingsworth Lawyer

DAVID HOLLINGSWORTH Principal Lawyer and Founder

AS OTTAWA INJURY LAWYERS we hate breaking the news to people about the repercussions of loaning your vehicle Most people donrsquot realize that when you lend your vehicle to someone else and they are involved in a collision and are at-fault your auto insurance policy may be the policy that ultimately pays out for any injuries or damages if a personal injury claim is made In the end this could cost the owner of the vehicle because as we all know insurance rates can increase once a claim is made These costs can range On the lighter side the owner of the vehicle may have to pay a deductible however depending on the circumstances of the accident the owner of the vehicle could be on the hook for a lot more For example if the borrower is in breach of a condition of the insurance policy perhaps their driverrsquos license was expired or perhaps they were charged with distracted driving (texting while driving)

the ownerrsquos insurance company can possi-bly deny insurance coverage If this denial were to occur the owner may personally be responsible for any losses suffered If the accident is serious in nature and someone is seriously injured this could mean that the owner of the vehicle could be respon-sible for hundreds of thousands of dollars or even millions of dollars in compensa-tion In Ontario lending your vehicle to someone else could potentially put you in a vulnerable situation While you may think throwing your buddy the keys to take your car is no big deal our Ottawa injury lawyers caution you to think long and hard about this decision Who knows if your friend might throw their friend the keys Your good standing with your insur-ance company could potentially be at risk should the borrower get into an accident Please exercise caution when lending your vehicle There is so much more at stake

Celebrating 10 Years as Markhamrsquos Best Family Law Firm THE FELDSTEIN FAMILY LAW GROUP HAS BEEN VOTED TOP CHOICE BY CLIENTS

FOR A DECADE

by Louise Byrne

WHATrsquoS HARDER THAN GETTING to the top Staying on top Yet Feldstein Family Law Group has remained on top for 10 years as voted by clients and colleagues

Whether it is hockey tennis or in busi-ness getting to the top is a tough journey But remaining on top is even tougher because competitors have something to shoot at And everyone ups their game So you constantly have to up your game as well

No one understands this better than founder and principal lawyer Andrew Feldstein Whatrsquos his secret sauce ldquoInnovation and bold ideas must go from drawing board to implementation at light-ning speedrdquo says Feldstein

When clients arrive at the Firm they are typically upset and worried about the future of their children as well as their own prospects of building a new life ldquoFamily law is emotional stressful and personal I understand what our clients are going through Irsquom divorced toordquo explains Feldstein

He and his team of lawyers know that their job as lawyers is critical because the outcome of any agreement between sepa-rating spouses or partners will affect them greatlymdashand for years to come

During the 20 years that the Firm has practised family law exclusively Feldstein Family Law Group lawyers have an envi-able record of success settling hundreds of

separations efficiently effectively andmdashif possiblemdashamicably

Being an early adopter of technology Andrew Feldstein built the biggest website in Canada on separation and divorce more than 10 years ago at wwwseparationca Here you will find articles case law blogs FAQs videos and media articles quoting him One of the best tools on the separa-tionca website is a series of articles entitled ldquoRoadmap to Divorcerdquo

ldquoSeparation and divorce are complex As well there is much confusion about rights and responsibilities of wives and husbands as well as common-law spouses I wanted people to have this information for freerdquo says Feldstein

Andrew Feldstein has been blazing trails on the internet ldquoAsk Andrewrdquo is a live-to-the internet monthly show that premiered in October 2015 Viewers can email text or call in their questions about separation divorce custody access support and divi-sion of property (Check wwwseparationca for broadcast details)

ldquoWe believe this is the first show by a lawyer anywhere on the internet And who

doesnrsquot want to talk to a lawyer for freerdquo he quips

Andrew Feldstein devotes a lot of time speaking about family law He is sought out by reporters at The Globe and Mail The National Post and The Toronto Star as an expert commentator He is a regular on Newstalk 1010mdashTorontorsquos largest talk radio stationmdashand is affectionately referred to as ldquotheir family law lawyerrdquo

Tax-efficiency is one of the main ben-efits of a financial plan Jonathan Flawn a Certified Financial Planner and Pagersquos in-house Chartered Accountant says ldquoTaxes are very complex and most of our clients are not experts in this area Many are not

taking advantage of all the deductions and credits that they could be using and most have not structured their investments to minimize tax exposure We take great care to build the customized financial forecasts needed to support the long-term planning strategies that will reduce our clientsrsquo life-time tax burdenrdquo

If this sounds like the level of service yoursquod want for your own financial planning you can arrange for an Initial Assessment and Evaluation meeting and walk out with a complimentary report Donald Page explains ldquoWe still offer our Initial Assessment on a complimentary basis so that there is no risk for someone looking to find out more about how we can help them in their specific situation Even clients who choose not to engage us as their advisors say they have benefitted by going through this process with usrdquo

MOBILE RESPONSIVE SITES GENERATE TRAFFIC

BRAND ENGAGEMENTIf you offer a better mobile experi-

ence people will become more fond of your brand enough to return to your website repeatedly Often people view

products on mobile devices and return to the same site on desktops More than 90 people have said that accomplishing a task includes switching between devices or ldquomulti-screeningrdquo You will build trust from your website users if you provide a better experience to them with a mobile friendly site

INCREASED CONVERSIONSWebsites that arenrsquot optimised for

mobile simply fail to convert visitors into buyers The whole layout becomes clumsy and users find it difficult to place any orders

DECREASE IN BOUNCE RATEUsers find it difficult to read a websitersquos

content which isnrsquot optimised for mobile and simply leave the website for another one Thus resulting in an increase in the bounce rate of your site To reduce the bounce rate of your website you need a fully responsive and mobile friendly web-site If you fail to provide a better user experience to your consumers then they might opt for your competitors This will eventually result in degrading your mar-ket value and loss of sales

SOCIAL MEDIA CAN PLAY a great role in shaping your business image so it is important to invest in building a good social media presence Customers now rely on social media to shape their decisions and learn about businesses before making any purchase

With the booming of the web especially after the emergence and spread of social media networks people start to rely on these networks to make their everyday life choices including shopping and purchase decisions For the great impact these online networks have in shaping customersrsquo deci-sions it becomes crucial for an organization to have a neat and significant presence on these networks to maintain a close knit relationship with their present and pro-spective clients

Be it in the physical or virtual world every organization aims at building a good reputation and reflecting a positive image to their customers Online social media plat-forms offer great opportunities to spread the word of mouth about businesses world-wide Thatrsquos why social media networks become one of the important mediums on which brands are built

A new study carried by researchers from Romania and Thailand has highlighted

the impact of social media on a companyrsquos image This case study ldquowas conducted to a 258 respondents having the age between 18 and 41 years oldrdquo To answer the question of how often consumers read or actively take part on discussions initiated in online social networks the study finds that ldquo244 never 2683 sometimes 5122 often and 1951 alwaysrdquo

Researchers also investigated whether or not users on social networks pay ldquomore attention to the online discussion related to the productsservices they are frequently using A whopping 8249 of the respon-dents answered the question positively and confirmed that they ldquoare attentive to this kind of informationrdquo

Social media networks play an impor-tant role in shaping the companyrsquos image and how it is perceived by customers Researchers stated that the study result has given an insightful conclusion that ldquothe companyrsquos image is related to all three con-structions the usersrsquo social influence the organizational promotion and the perceived image in OSN (online social networks)rdquo

Many other studies have stressed on the importance of social media networks for businesses This Research for instance has dealt with the importance of virtual

communities and how they can influence trust of online shoppers As stated by the study ldquovirtual communities offer several advantages to e-tailers and opportunities for the interaction with members of virtual communities consumersrdquo

Another study also tackled the issue and stressed on the importance of social pres-ence and how it affects customersrsquo trust The study stated that ldquosocial presence is a determinant of trust in a retail websiterdquo

In order to build a good relationship with customers and win their trust an online business needs to maintain a good social presence so the customer feels as if they are ldquowith a real vendor This feeling comes from the emotion during the inter-action with the websiterdquo researchers stated

Social media use continues to grow in a significant rate Companies need to take advantage of prospective clients that can be reached by these networks and include social media in their marketing and overall business strategy

As social media has become an impor-tant way to boost business growth and enhance presence in the ever so competi-tive business market any business would be at a competitive disadvantage if they do not have some sort of social media presence

Facing a hearing loss was unexpected and devastating but it has molded me into the Hearing Practitioner I am today Irsquove learned so much from my own experience

I woke up to a hearing loss in my right ear around 11 years ago Working in the field I always thought I would know how to handle a hearing loss of my own if it ever occurred ldquowhen I was olderrdquo I never thought that at 27 I would be facing it My emotions were a kaleidoscope to be honest I was angry embarrassed and afraid

Coming to terms with my own hearing loss has made my life so much easier Situations are not as stressful and I just feel happier It has empowered me to connect with my patients on an entirely new level When we opened Quality Care Hearing it wasnrsquot about prescribing hearing aids it was about making people of all ages who live with hearing loss understand it embrace it and feel confident and happy again

MORE AND MORE PEOPLE are choosing Naturopathy as their preferred method of treatment - and for good rea-son At The Optimum Wellness Clinic we are Edmontonrsquos Top alternative health clinic and are proud to offer Naturopathic treatment and therapies to patients After graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario in 2000 as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine with two clinical excellence awards Dr AJ DeNault founded Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic and has continued to widen the clinicrsquos scope of practice and naturopathic knowledge base Prior to his Naturopathic studies Dr DeNault prac-ticed pharmacy in both Alberta and Ontario for over 25 years This pharmacy back-ground aids in assessing and preventing possible interactions between conventional and natural medicines and treatments that various patients may be taking at various stages of treatment

So what is Naturopathic medicine And who could benefit from it It is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with tradi-tional and natural forms of medicines It is

based on the healing power of nature and it supports and stimulates the bodyrsquos abil-ity to heal itself Natural therapies such as botanical medicine clinical nutrition tra-ditional Chinese medicine and more are used in disease diagnosis treatment and prevention Dr DeNaultrsquos practice-focus includes cancer care with hyperthermia and various IV and injection therapies The other doctors practice-focus includes wom-enrsquos health including fertility pre-natal care and hormone testing children and menrsquos health digestive health and food intoler-ance testing All the practitioners work together with the patient to develop the right strategy and approach for each unique circumstance

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat patients as individuals by addressing the physical environmental lifestyle attitudi-nal and emotional aspects of health This allows NDs to find and treat the cause of disease using natural therapies The goal is to address the cause of the illness rather than simply treating or suppressing the symptoms Both NDs and MDs provide primary care and both are similarly trained The primary difference between the two lies

in the philosophical approach and therapies used Naturopathic medicine can be used to treat all forms of health concerns whether itrsquos pediatric geriatric chronic illness or even psychological Naturopathy is a great option for those patients looking for dis-ease prevention strategies or those looking to combine conventional and naturopathic treatments with the aim of minimizing side effects of drugs surgery or conventional treatments At The Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic the Naturopathic Doctor will choose the natural medicines and ther-apies that are safe and effective with the goal of increasing your health and decreas-ing harmful side effects Their team is eager to continue helping patients with a natural lifestyle friendly approach

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

HELLO THERE IrsquoD LIKE to first thank you for taking the time to read our latest issue We hope this magazine finds you in great health and full of positive energy to share with all those that may cross your path

Irsquod like to take this opportunity to enhance your consumerentrepre-neur experience by offering you valuable insight - infor-mation that Irsquove personally collected over the past six months while combin-ing both sectors Itrsquos not surprising that the most renowned surveys state that 93 of North Americans search their smartphones before making purchase decisions Talk about being plugged in Yes - it is a fact that when people want to know do buy or go they turn to their smartphones

f i rst Google recently released a study prov-ing that 30 of all mobile searches are related to loca-tions (ie where to buyfind certain products and what time certain stores open) 76 of people who search on their smartphones for products nearby visit a business within a day and 28 of those searches for that product nearby result in purchases When you do the math itrsquos obvious that a businessesrsquo online personal-ity is extremely important

Isnrsquot it surprising given the above that even with all this valuable information available at everyonersquos fin-gertips studies and surveys still found that over 50 of business owners in North America donrsquot invest much time or money on updating

their websitesocial media platforms So how are these business remaining successful Whatrsquos their secret Well we all know that the pen is mightier than the sword - thatrsquos why print remains such a via-ble option for information even in this technological age

Most consumers turn to online surveys and reviews to share their experiences with different business however not every busi-ness owner is in favour of adapting to the online world And thatrsquos okay Top Choice Media is there for all our clients - what-ever their needs We will continue to study peoplersquos wants and and deliver the trusted services they can rely on - online or in print

The Risk of Loaning Your VehicleDID YOU KNOW THAT LENDING YOUR CAR ALSO MEANS YOU ARE LENDING YOUR INSURANCEDavid Hollingsworth Lawyer

DAVID HOLLINGSWORTH Principal Lawyer and Founder

AS OTTAWA INJURY LAWYERS we hate breaking the news to people about the repercussions of loaning your vehicle Most people donrsquot realize that when you lend your vehicle to someone else and they are involved in a collision and are at-fault your auto insurance policy may be the policy that ultimately pays out for any injuries or damages if a personal injury claim is made In the end this could cost the owner of the vehicle because as we all know insurance rates can increase once a claim is made These costs can range On the lighter side the owner of the vehicle may have to pay a deductible however depending on the circumstances of the accident the owner of the vehicle could be on the hook for a lot more For example if the borrower is in breach of a condition of the insurance policy perhaps their driverrsquos license was expired or perhaps they were charged with distracted driving (texting while driving)

the ownerrsquos insurance company can possi-bly deny insurance coverage If this denial were to occur the owner may personally be responsible for any losses suffered If the accident is serious in nature and someone is seriously injured this could mean that the owner of the vehicle could be respon-sible for hundreds of thousands of dollars or even millions of dollars in compensa-tion In Ontario lending your vehicle to someone else could potentially put you in a vulnerable situation While you may think throwing your buddy the keys to take your car is no big deal our Ottawa injury lawyers caution you to think long and hard about this decision Who knows if your friend might throw their friend the keys Your good standing with your insur-ance company could potentially be at risk should the borrower get into an accident Please exercise caution when lending your vehicle There is so much more at stake

Celebrating 10 Years as Markhamrsquos Best Family Law Firm THE FELDSTEIN FAMILY LAW GROUP HAS BEEN VOTED TOP CHOICE BY CLIENTS

FOR A DECADE

by Louise Byrne

WHATrsquoS HARDER THAN GETTING to the top Staying on top Yet Feldstein Family Law Group has remained on top for 10 years as voted by clients and colleagues

Whether it is hockey tennis or in busi-ness getting to the top is a tough journey But remaining on top is even tougher because competitors have something to shoot at And everyone ups their game So you constantly have to up your game as well

No one understands this better than founder and principal lawyer Andrew Feldstein Whatrsquos his secret sauce ldquoInnovation and bold ideas must go from drawing board to implementation at light-ning speedrdquo says Feldstein

When clients arrive at the Firm they are typically upset and worried about the future of their children as well as their own prospects of building a new life ldquoFamily law is emotional stressful and personal I understand what our clients are going through Irsquom divorced toordquo explains Feldstein

He and his team of lawyers know that their job as lawyers is critical because the outcome of any agreement between sepa-rating spouses or partners will affect them greatlymdashand for years to come

During the 20 years that the Firm has practised family law exclusively Feldstein Family Law Group lawyers have an envi-able record of success settling hundreds of

separations efficiently effectively andmdashif possiblemdashamicably

Being an early adopter of technology Andrew Feldstein built the biggest website in Canada on separation and divorce more than 10 years ago at wwwseparationca Here you will find articles case law blogs FAQs videos and media articles quoting him One of the best tools on the separa-tionca website is a series of articles entitled ldquoRoadmap to Divorcerdquo

ldquoSeparation and divorce are complex As well there is much confusion about rights and responsibilities of wives and husbands as well as common-law spouses I wanted people to have this information for freerdquo says Feldstein

Andrew Feldstein has been blazing trails on the internet ldquoAsk Andrewrdquo is a live-to-the internet monthly show that premiered in October 2015 Viewers can email text or call in their questions about separation divorce custody access support and divi-sion of property (Check wwwseparationca for broadcast details)

ldquoWe believe this is the first show by a lawyer anywhere on the internet And who

doesnrsquot want to talk to a lawyer for freerdquo he quips

Andrew Feldstein devotes a lot of time speaking about family law He is sought out by reporters at The Globe and Mail The National Post and The Toronto Star as an expert commentator He is a regular on Newstalk 1010mdashTorontorsquos largest talk radio stationmdashand is affectionately referred to as ldquotheir family law lawyerrdquo

ldquoStudies show that people with a writ-ten financial plan earn higher returns and have less stress We figured most peo-ple would want those benefitsrdquo says Frank Miemiec VP Operations He is surprised at how many of the firmrsquos new clients donrsquot get this service from their former advisors

or thought what they had was a financial plan but was only an investment policy statement or value projection

Rick Page adds ldquoFew of our competitors offer comprehensive financial planning ser-vices that bring together tax planning cash flow management risk management and investing to ensure that clientsrsquo retirement and estate goals can be achieved in the most effective and tax-efficient way possi-blerdquo He explains that the firmrsquos team-based approach allows them to deliver superior service because they have in-house experts in various fields contributing to the devel-opment of their clientsrsquo plans ldquoWe have a CA and MBAs in house and an extensive network of professionals such as lawyers and mortgage brokers to draw on when our clients donrsquot already have established ser-vice providers in these areasrdquo

Tax-efficiency is one of the main ben-efits of a financial plan Jonathan Flawn a Certified Financial Planner and Pagersquos in-house Chartered Accountant says ldquoTaxes are very complex and most of our clients are not experts in this area Many are not

taking advantage of all the deductions and credits that they could be using and most have not structured their investments to minimize tax exposure We take great care to build the customized financial forecasts needed to support the long-term planning strategies that will reduce our clientsrsquo life-time tax burdenrdquo

If this sounds like the level of service yoursquod want for your own financial planning you can arrange for an Initial Assessment and Evaluation meeting and walk out with a complimentary report Donald Page explains ldquoWe still offer our Initial Assessment on a complimentary basis so that there is no risk for someone looking to find out more about how we can help them in their specific situation Even clients who choose not to engage us as their advisors say they have benefitted by going through this process with usrdquo

Having a mobile optimised website has become essential after Google released an update that will prefer mobile friendly websites Here are some reasons why you should optimise your website for mobile devices Mobile friendliness plays a crucial role in the SEO of your website

If your website is not optimised for mobile then you are going to lose sales Various studies have clearly shown that almost every user will leave your website if itrsquos not optimised for mobile or takes a long time to load

Even Google has rolled out a new update on April 21st 2015 that provides advantages to websites that are mobile friendly So itrsquos quite clear now that if your website isnrsquot mobile friendly or responsive then it will surely lose ranks

Still havenrsquot optimised your website Here are a few reasons why you should have a mobile friendly website

PEOPLE USING MOBILE WANT QUICK SOLUTIONS

People using mobile phones for access-ing internet may have different objectives than desktop users The mobile users are looking for information which is quick

and easy to understand Various research has shown that mobile users tend to make impulse purchases and do more shopping compared to desktop usersThis explains the importance of optimising your web-site for different types of platforms in order to meet consumersrsquo demands By making your website mobile friendly you can ensure that users can make purchases easily

MOBILE RESPONSIVE SITES GENERATE TRAFFIC

With almost half of the web searches being made through mobile the impor-tance of having a mobile website has become just as important as having a web-site Various sources have reported that people are using their Smartphone for surfing the web even when theyrsquore busy doing other work Considering all these reports itrsquos a suitable time to switch to mobile friendly website

BRAND ENGAGEMENTIf you offer a better mobile experi-

ence people will become more fond of your brand enough to return to your website repeatedly Often people view

products on mobile devices and return to the same site on desktops More than 90 people have said that accomplishing a task includes switching between devices or ldquomulti-screeningrdquo You will build trust from your website users if you provide a better experience to them with a mobile friendly site

INCREASED CONVERSIONSWebsites that arenrsquot optimised for

mobile simply fail to convert visitors into buyers The whole layout becomes clumsy and users find it difficult to place any orders

DECREASE IN BOUNCE RATEUsers find it difficult to read a websitersquos

content which isnrsquot optimised for mobile and simply leave the website for another one Thus resulting in an increase in the bounce rate of your site To reduce the bounce rate of your website you need a fully responsive and mobile friendly web-site If you fail to provide a better user experience to your consumers then they might opt for your competitors This will eventually result in degrading your mar-ket value and loss of sales

SOCIAL MEDIA CAN PLAY a great role in shaping your business image so it is important to invest in building a good social media presence Customers now rely on social media to shape their decisions and learn about businesses before making any purchase

With the booming of the web especially after the emergence and spread of social media networks people start to rely on these networks to make their everyday life choices including shopping and purchase decisions For the great impact these online networks have in shaping customersrsquo deci-sions it becomes crucial for an organization to have a neat and significant presence on these networks to maintain a close knit relationship with their present and pro-spective clients

Be it in the physical or virtual world every organization aims at building a good reputation and reflecting a positive image to their customers Online social media plat-forms offer great opportunities to spread the word of mouth about businesses world-wide Thatrsquos why social media networks become one of the important mediums on which brands are built

A new study carried by researchers from Romania and Thailand has highlighted

the impact of social media on a companyrsquos image This case study ldquowas conducted to a 258 respondents having the age between 18 and 41 years oldrdquo To answer the question of how often consumers read or actively take part on discussions initiated in online social networks the study finds that ldquo244 never 2683 sometimes 5122 often and 1951 alwaysrdquo

Researchers also investigated whether or not users on social networks pay ldquomore attention to the online discussion related to the productsservices they are frequently using A whopping 8249 of the respon-dents answered the question positively and confirmed that they ldquoare attentive to this kind of informationrdquo

Social media networks play an impor-tant role in shaping the companyrsquos image and how it is perceived by customers Researchers stated that the study result has given an insightful conclusion that ldquothe companyrsquos image is related to all three con-structions the usersrsquo social influence the organizational promotion and the perceived image in OSN (online social networks)rdquo

Many other studies have stressed on the importance of social media networks for businesses This Research for instance has dealt with the importance of virtual

communities and how they can influence trust of online shoppers As stated by the study ldquovirtual communities offer several advantages to e-tailers and opportunities for the interaction with members of virtual communities consumersrdquo

Another study also tackled the issue and stressed on the importance of social pres-ence and how it affects customersrsquo trust The study stated that ldquosocial presence is a determinant of trust in a retail websiterdquo

In order to build a good relationship with customers and win their trust an online business needs to maintain a good social presence so the customer feels as if they are ldquowith a real vendor This feeling comes from the emotion during the inter-action with the websiterdquo researchers stated

Social media use continues to grow in a significant rate Companies need to take advantage of prospective clients that can be reached by these networks and include social media in their marketing and overall business strategy

As social media has become an impor-tant way to boost business growth and enhance presence in the ever so competi-tive business market any business would be at a competitive disadvantage if they do not have some sort of social media presence

Facing a hearing loss was unexpected and devastating but it has molded me into the Hearing Practitioner I am today Irsquove learned so much from my own experience

I woke up to a hearing loss in my right ear around 11 years ago Working in the field I always thought I would know how to handle a hearing loss of my own if it ever occurred ldquowhen I was olderrdquo I never thought that at 27 I would be facing it My emotions were a kaleidoscope to be honest I was angry embarrassed and afraid

Coming to terms with my own hearing loss has made my life so much easier Situations are not as stressful and I just feel happier It has empowered me to connect with my patients on an entirely new level When we opened Quality Care Hearing it wasnrsquot about prescribing hearing aids it was about making people of all ages who live with hearing loss understand it embrace it and feel confident and happy again

MORE AND MORE PEOPLE are choosing Naturopathy as their preferred method of treatment - and for good rea-son At The Optimum Wellness Clinic we are Edmontonrsquos Top alternative health clinic and are proud to offer Naturopathic treatment and therapies to patients After graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario in 2000 as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine with two clinical excellence awards Dr AJ DeNault founded Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic and has continued to widen the clinicrsquos scope of practice and naturopathic knowledge base Prior to his Naturopathic studies Dr DeNault prac-ticed pharmacy in both Alberta and Ontario for over 25 years This pharmacy back-ground aids in assessing and preventing possible interactions between conventional and natural medicines and treatments that various patients may be taking at various stages of treatment

So what is Naturopathic medicine And who could benefit from it It is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with tradi-tional and natural forms of medicines It is

based on the healing power of nature and it supports and stimulates the bodyrsquos abil-ity to heal itself Natural therapies such as botanical medicine clinical nutrition tra-ditional Chinese medicine and more are used in disease diagnosis treatment and prevention Dr DeNaultrsquos practice-focus includes cancer care with hyperthermia and various IV and injection therapies The other doctors practice-focus includes wom-enrsquos health including fertility pre-natal care and hormone testing children and menrsquos health digestive health and food intoler-ance testing All the practitioners work together with the patient to develop the right strategy and approach for each unique circumstance

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat patients as individuals by addressing the physical environmental lifestyle attitudi-nal and emotional aspects of health This allows NDs to find and treat the cause of disease using natural therapies The goal is to address the cause of the illness rather than simply treating or suppressing the symptoms Both NDs and MDs provide primary care and both are similarly trained The primary difference between the two lies

in the philosophical approach and therapies used Naturopathic medicine can be used to treat all forms of health concerns whether itrsquos pediatric geriatric chronic illness or even psychological Naturopathy is a great option for those patients looking for dis-ease prevention strategies or those looking to combine conventional and naturopathic treatments with the aim of minimizing side effects of drugs surgery or conventional treatments At The Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic the Naturopathic Doctor will choose the natural medicines and ther-apies that are safe and effective with the goal of increasing your health and decreas-ing harmful side effects Their team is eager to continue helping patients with a natural lifestyle friendly approach

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

Irsquod like to take this opportunity to enhance your consumerentrepre-neur experience by offering you valuable insight - infor-mation that Irsquove personally collected over the past six months while combin-ing both sectors Itrsquos not surprising that the most renowned surveys state that 93 of North Americans search their smartphones before making purchase decisions Talk about being plugged in Yes - it is a fact that when people want to know do buy or go they turn to their smartphones

f i rst Google recently released a study prov-ing that 30 of all mobile searches are related to loca-tions (ie where to buyfind certain products and what time certain stores open) 76 of people who search on their smartphones for products nearby visit a business within a day and 28 of those searches for that product nearby result in purchases When you do the math itrsquos obvious that a businessesrsquo online personal-ity is extremely important

Isnrsquot it surprising given the above that even with all this valuable information available at everyonersquos fin-gertips studies and surveys still found that over 50 of business owners in North America donrsquot invest much time or money on updating

their websitesocial media platforms So how are these business remaining successful Whatrsquos their secret Well we all know that the pen is mightier than the sword - thatrsquos why print remains such a via-ble option for information even in this technological age

Most consumers turn to online surveys and reviews to share their experiences with different business however not every busi-ness owner is in favour of adapting to the online world And thatrsquos okay Top Choice Media is there for all our clients - what-ever their needs We will continue to study peoplersquos wants and and deliver the trusted services they can rely on - online or in print

The Risk of Loaning Your VehicleDID YOU KNOW THAT LENDING YOUR CAR ALSO MEANS YOU ARE LENDING YOUR INSURANCEDavid Hollingsworth Lawyer

DAVID HOLLINGSWORTH Principal Lawyer and Founder

AS OTTAWA INJURY LAWYERS we hate breaking the news to people about the repercussions of loaning your vehicle Most people donrsquot realize that when you lend your vehicle to someone else and they are involved in a collision and are at-fault your auto insurance policy may be the policy that ultimately pays out for any injuries or damages if a personal injury claim is made In the end this could cost the owner of the vehicle because as we all know insurance rates can increase once a claim is made These costs can range On the lighter side the owner of the vehicle may have to pay a deductible however depending on the circumstances of the accident the owner of the vehicle could be on the hook for a lot more For example if the borrower is in breach of a condition of the insurance policy perhaps their driverrsquos license was expired or perhaps they were charged with distracted driving (texting while driving)

the ownerrsquos insurance company can possi-bly deny insurance coverage If this denial were to occur the owner may personally be responsible for any losses suffered If the accident is serious in nature and someone is seriously injured this could mean that the owner of the vehicle could be respon-sible for hundreds of thousands of dollars or even millions of dollars in compensa-tion In Ontario lending your vehicle to someone else could potentially put you in a vulnerable situation While you may think throwing your buddy the keys to take your car is no big deal our Ottawa injury lawyers caution you to think long and hard about this decision Who knows if your friend might throw their friend the keys Your good standing with your insur-ance company could potentially be at risk should the borrower get into an accident Please exercise caution when lending your vehicle There is so much more at stake

Celebrating 10 Years as Markhamrsquos Best Family Law Firm THE FELDSTEIN FAMILY LAW GROUP HAS BEEN VOTED TOP CHOICE BY CLIENTS

FOR A DECADE

by Louise Byrne

WHATrsquoS HARDER THAN GETTING to the top Staying on top Yet Feldstein Family Law Group has remained on top for 10 years as voted by clients and colleagues

Whether it is hockey tennis or in busi-ness getting to the top is a tough journey But remaining on top is even tougher because competitors have something to shoot at And everyone ups their game So you constantly have to up your game as well

No one understands this better than founder and principal lawyer Andrew Feldstein Whatrsquos his secret sauce ldquoInnovation and bold ideas must go from drawing board to implementation at light-ning speedrdquo says Feldstein

When clients arrive at the Firm they are typically upset and worried about the future of their children as well as their own prospects of building a new life ldquoFamily law is emotional stressful and personal I understand what our clients are going through Irsquom divorced toordquo explains Feldstein

He and his team of lawyers know that their job as lawyers is critical because the outcome of any agreement between sepa-rating spouses or partners will affect them greatlymdashand for years to come

During the 20 years that the Firm has practised family law exclusively Feldstein Family Law Group lawyers have an envi-able record of success settling hundreds of

separations efficiently effectively andmdashif possiblemdashamicably

Being an early adopter of technology Andrew Feldstein built the biggest website in Canada on separation and divorce more than 10 years ago at wwwseparationca Here you will find articles case law blogs FAQs videos and media articles quoting him One of the best tools on the separa-tionca website is a series of articles entitled ldquoRoadmap to Divorcerdquo

ldquoSeparation and divorce are complex As well there is much confusion about rights and responsibilities of wives and husbands as well as common-law spouses I wanted people to have this information for freerdquo says Feldstein

Andrew Feldstein has been blazing trails on the internet ldquoAsk Andrewrdquo is a live-to-the internet monthly show that premiered in October 2015 Viewers can email text or call in their questions about separation divorce custody access support and divi-sion of property (Check wwwseparationca for broadcast details)

ldquoWe believe this is the first show by a lawyer anywhere on the internet And who

doesnrsquot want to talk to a lawyer for freerdquo he quips

Andrew Feldstein devotes a lot of time speaking about family law He is sought out by reporters at The Globe and Mail The National Post and The Toronto Star as an expert commentator He is a regular on Newstalk 1010mdashTorontorsquos largest talk radio stationmdashand is affectionately referred to as ldquotheir family law lawyerrdquo

Tax-efficiency is one of the main ben-efits of a financial plan Jonathan Flawn a Certified Financial Planner and Pagersquos in-house Chartered Accountant says ldquoTaxes are very complex and most of our clients are not experts in this area Many are not

taking advantage of all the deductions and credits that they could be using and most have not structured their investments to minimize tax exposure We take great care to build the customized financial forecasts needed to support the long-term planning strategies that will reduce our clientsrsquo life-time tax burdenrdquo

Having a mobile optimised website has become essential after Google released an update that will prefer mobile friendly websites Here are some reasons why you should optimise your website for mobile devices Mobile friendliness plays a crucial role in the SEO of your website

If your website is not optimised for mobile then you are going to lose sales Various studies have clearly shown that almost every user will leave your website if itrsquos not optimised for mobile or takes a long time to load

Even Google has rolled out a new update on April 21st 2015 that provides advantages to websites that are mobile friendly So itrsquos quite clear now that if your website isnrsquot mobile friendly or responsive then it will surely lose ranks

Still havenrsquot optimised your website Here are a few reasons why you should have a mobile friendly website

PEOPLE USING MOBILE WANT QUICK SOLUTIONS

People using mobile phones for access-ing internet may have different objectives than desktop users The mobile users are looking for information which is quick

and easy to understand Various research has shown that mobile users tend to make impulse purchases and do more shopping compared to desktop usersThis explains the importance of optimising your web-site for different types of platforms in order to meet consumersrsquo demands By making your website mobile friendly you can ensure that users can make purchases easily

MOBILE RESPONSIVE SITES GENERATE TRAFFIC

With almost half of the web searches being made through mobile the impor-tance of having a mobile website has become just as important as having a web-site Various sources have reported that people are using their Smartphone for surfing the web even when theyrsquore busy doing other work Considering all these reports itrsquos a suitable time to switch to mobile friendly website

BRAND ENGAGEMENTIf you offer a better mobile experi-

ence people will become more fond of your brand enough to return to your website repeatedly Often people view

products on mobile devices and return to the same site on desktops More than 90 people have said that accomplishing a task includes switching between devices or ldquomulti-screeningrdquo You will build trust from your website users if you provide a better experience to them with a mobile friendly site

INCREASED CONVERSIONSWebsites that arenrsquot optimised for

mobile simply fail to convert visitors into buyers The whole layout becomes clumsy and users find it difficult to place any orders

DECREASE IN BOUNCE RATEUsers find it difficult to read a websitersquos

content which isnrsquot optimised for mobile and simply leave the website for another one Thus resulting in an increase in the bounce rate of your site To reduce the bounce rate of your website you need a fully responsive and mobile friendly web-site If you fail to provide a better user experience to your consumers then they might opt for your competitors This will eventually result in degrading your mar-ket value and loss of sales

SOCIAL MEDIA CAN PLAY a great role in shaping your business image so it is important to invest in building a good social media presence Customers now rely on social media to shape their decisions and learn about businesses before making any purchase

With the booming of the web especially after the emergence and spread of social media networks people start to rely on these networks to make their everyday life choices including shopping and purchase decisions For the great impact these online networks have in shaping customersrsquo deci-sions it becomes crucial for an organization to have a neat and significant presence on these networks to maintain a close knit relationship with their present and pro-spective clients

Be it in the physical or virtual world every organization aims at building a good reputation and reflecting a positive image to their customers Online social media plat-forms offer great opportunities to spread the word of mouth about businesses world-wide Thatrsquos why social media networks become one of the important mediums on which brands are built

A new study carried by researchers from Romania and Thailand has highlighted

the impact of social media on a companyrsquos image This case study ldquowas conducted to a 258 respondents having the age between 18 and 41 years oldrdquo To answer the question of how often consumers read or actively take part on discussions initiated in online social networks the study finds that ldquo244 never 2683 sometimes 5122 often and 1951 alwaysrdquo

Researchers also investigated whether or not users on social networks pay ldquomore attention to the online discussion related to the productsservices they are frequently using A whopping 8249 of the respon-dents answered the question positively and confirmed that they ldquoare attentive to this kind of informationrdquo

Social media networks play an impor-tant role in shaping the companyrsquos image and how it is perceived by customers Researchers stated that the study result has given an insightful conclusion that ldquothe companyrsquos image is related to all three con-structions the usersrsquo social influence the organizational promotion and the perceived image in OSN (online social networks)rdquo

Many other studies have stressed on the importance of social media networks for businesses This Research for instance has dealt with the importance of virtual

communities and how they can influence trust of online shoppers As stated by the study ldquovirtual communities offer several advantages to e-tailers and opportunities for the interaction with members of virtual communities consumersrdquo

Another study also tackled the issue and stressed on the importance of social pres-ence and how it affects customersrsquo trust The study stated that ldquosocial presence is a determinant of trust in a retail websiterdquo

In order to build a good relationship with customers and win their trust an online business needs to maintain a good social presence so the customer feels as if they are ldquowith a real vendor This feeling comes from the emotion during the inter-action with the websiterdquo researchers stated

Social media use continues to grow in a significant rate Companies need to take advantage of prospective clients that can be reached by these networks and include social media in their marketing and overall business strategy

As social media has become an impor-tant way to boost business growth and enhance presence in the ever so competi-tive business market any business would be at a competitive disadvantage if they do not have some sort of social media presence

Facing a hearing loss was unexpected and devastating but it has molded me into the Hearing Practitioner I am today Irsquove learned so much from my own experience

I woke up to a hearing loss in my right ear around 11 years ago Working in the field I always thought I would know how to handle a hearing loss of my own if it ever occurred ldquowhen I was olderrdquo I never thought that at 27 I would be facing it My emotions were a kaleidoscope to be honest I was angry embarrassed and afraid

Coming to terms with my own hearing loss has made my life so much easier Situations are not as stressful and I just feel happier It has empowered me to connect with my patients on an entirely new level When we opened Quality Care Hearing it wasnrsquot about prescribing hearing aids it was about making people of all ages who live with hearing loss understand it embrace it and feel confident and happy again

MORE AND MORE PEOPLE are choosing Naturopathy as their preferred method of treatment - and for good rea-son At The Optimum Wellness Clinic we are Edmontonrsquos Top alternative health clinic and are proud to offer Naturopathic treatment and therapies to patients After graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario in 2000 as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine with two clinical excellence awards Dr AJ DeNault founded Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic and has continued to widen the clinicrsquos scope of practice and naturopathic knowledge base Prior to his Naturopathic studies Dr DeNault prac-ticed pharmacy in both Alberta and Ontario for over 25 years This pharmacy back-ground aids in assessing and preventing possible interactions between conventional and natural medicines and treatments that various patients may be taking at various stages of treatment

So what is Naturopathic medicine And who could benefit from it It is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with tradi-tional and natural forms of medicines It is

based on the healing power of nature and it supports and stimulates the bodyrsquos abil-ity to heal itself Natural therapies such as botanical medicine clinical nutrition tra-ditional Chinese medicine and more are used in disease diagnosis treatment and prevention Dr DeNaultrsquos practice-focus includes cancer care with hyperthermia and various IV and injection therapies The other doctors practice-focus includes wom-enrsquos health including fertility pre-natal care and hormone testing children and menrsquos health digestive health and food intoler-ance testing All the practitioners work together with the patient to develop the right strategy and approach for each unique circumstance

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat patients as individuals by addressing the physical environmental lifestyle attitudi-nal and emotional aspects of health This allows NDs to find and treat the cause of disease using natural therapies The goal is to address the cause of the illness rather than simply treating or suppressing the symptoms Both NDs and MDs provide primary care and both are similarly trained The primary difference between the two lies

in the philosophical approach and therapies used Naturopathic medicine can be used to treat all forms of health concerns whether itrsquos pediatric geriatric chronic illness or even psychological Naturopathy is a great option for those patients looking for dis-ease prevention strategies or those looking to combine conventional and naturopathic treatments with the aim of minimizing side effects of drugs surgery or conventional treatments At The Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic the Naturopathic Doctor will choose the natural medicines and ther-apies that are safe and effective with the goal of increasing your health and decreas-ing harmful side effects Their team is eager to continue helping patients with a natural lifestyle friendly approach

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

HELLO THERE IrsquoD LIKE to first thank you for taking the time to read our latest issue We hope this magazine finds you in great health and full of positive energy to share with all those that may cross your path

As you may already k n o w To p C h o i c e Magazine is a mosaic of local businesses and their success stories Besides operating as a reliable tool for those looking for trusted services and prod-ucts in their city it also works as motivation for entrepreneurs that are looking for a way to take those first few steps into the spotlight Whether yoursquore a seasoned expert in your field or a new player entering the game expo-sure is necessary Exposure by a valued source - well thatrsquos a key to success This SpringSummer issue is no exception From the unique cover to the content inside yoursquore sure to find every-thing yoursquore looking for Whether you are a con-sumer looking for a certain serviceproduct or yoursquore an entrepreneur looking to launch your idea into the market this magazine has the right connections to save you time and money

Irsquod like to take this opportunity to enhance your consumerentrepre-neur experience by offering you valuable insight - infor-mation that Irsquove personally collected over the past six months while combin-ing both sectors Itrsquos not surprising that the most renowned surveys state that 93 of North Americans search their smartphones before making purchase decisions Talk about being plugged in Yes - it is a fact that when people want to know do buy or go they turn to their smartphones

f i rst Google recently released a study prov-ing that 30 of all mobile searches are related to loca-tions (ie where to buyfind certain products and what time certain stores open) 76 of people who search on their smartphones for products nearby visit a business within a day and 28 of those searches for that product nearby result in purchases When you do the math itrsquos obvious that a businessesrsquo online personal-ity is extremely important

Isnrsquot it surprising given the above that even with all this valuable information available at everyonersquos fin-gertips studies and surveys still found that over 50 of business owners in North America donrsquot invest much time or money on updating

their websitesocial media platforms So how are these business remaining successful Whatrsquos their secret Well we all know that the pen is mightier than the sword - thatrsquos why print remains such a via-ble option for information even in this technological age

Most consumers turn to online surveys and reviews to share their experiences with different business however not every busi-ness owner is in favour of adapting to the online world And thatrsquos okay Top Choice Media is there for all our clients - what-ever their needs We will continue to study peoplersquos wants and and deliver the trusted services they can rely on - online or in print

The Risk of Loaning Your VehicleDID YOU KNOW THAT LENDING YOUR CAR ALSO MEANS YOU ARE LENDING YOUR INSURANCEDavid Hollingsworth Lawyer

DAVID HOLLINGSWORTH Principal Lawyer and Founder

AS OTTAWA INJURY LAWYERS we hate breaking the news to people about the repercussions of loaning your vehicle Most people donrsquot realize that when you lend your vehicle to someone else and they are involved in a collision and are at-fault your auto insurance policy may be the policy that ultimately pays out for any injuries or damages if a personal injury claim is made In the end this could cost the owner of the vehicle because as we all know insurance rates can increase once a claim is made These costs can range On the lighter side the owner of the vehicle may have to pay a deductible however depending on the circumstances of the accident the owner of the vehicle could be on the hook for a lot more For example if the borrower is in breach of a condition of the insurance policy perhaps their driverrsquos license was expired or perhaps they were charged with distracted driving (texting while driving)

the ownerrsquos insurance company can possi-bly deny insurance coverage If this denial were to occur the owner may personally be responsible for any losses suffered If the accident is serious in nature and someone is seriously injured this could mean that the owner of the vehicle could be respon-sible for hundreds of thousands of dollars or even millions of dollars in compensa-tion In Ontario lending your vehicle to someone else could potentially put you in a vulnerable situation While you may think throwing your buddy the keys to take your car is no big deal our Ottawa injury lawyers caution you to think long and hard about this decision Who knows if your friend might throw their friend the keys Your good standing with your insur-ance company could potentially be at risk should the borrower get into an accident Please exercise caution when lending your vehicle There is so much more at stake

separations efficiently effectively andmdashif possiblemdashamicably

ldquoSeparation and divorce are complex As well there is much confusion about rights and responsibilities of wives and husbands as well as common-law spouses I wanted people to have this information for freerdquo says Feldstein

Having a mobile optimised website has become essential after Google released an update that will prefer mobile friendly websites Here are some reasons why you should optimise your website for mobile devices Mobile friendliness plays a crucial role in the SEO of your website

If your website is not optimised for mobile then you are going to lose sales Various studies have clearly shown that almost every user will leave your website if itrsquos not optimised for mobile or takes a long time to load

Even Google has rolled out a new update on April 21st 2015 that provides advantages to websites that are mobile friendly So itrsquos quite clear now that if your website isnrsquot mobile friendly or responsive then it will surely lose ranks

Still havenrsquot optimised your website Here are a few reasons why you should have a mobile friendly website

PEOPLE USING MOBILE WANT QUICK SOLUTIONS

People using mobile phones for access-ing internet may have different objectives than desktop users The mobile users are looking for information which is quick

and easy to understand Various research has shown that mobile users tend to make impulse purchases and do more shopping compared to desktop usersThis explains the importance of optimising your web-site for different types of platforms in order to meet consumersrsquo demands By making your website mobile friendly you can ensure that users can make purchases easily

MOBILE RESPONSIVE SITES GENERATE TRAFFIC

With almost half of the web searches being made through mobile the impor-tance of having a mobile website has become just as important as having a web-site Various sources have reported that people are using their Smartphone for surfing the web even when theyrsquore busy doing other work Considering all these reports itrsquos a suitable time to switch to mobile friendly website

BRAND ENGAGEMENTIf you offer a better mobile experi-

ence people will become more fond of your brand enough to return to your website repeatedly Often people view

products on mobile devices and return to the same site on desktops More than 90 people have said that accomplishing a task includes switching between devices or ldquomulti-screeningrdquo You will build trust from your website users if you provide a better experience to them with a mobile friendly site

INCREASED CONVERSIONSWebsites that arenrsquot optimised for

mobile simply fail to convert visitors into buyers The whole layout becomes clumsy and users find it difficult to place any orders

DECREASE IN BOUNCE RATEUsers find it difficult to read a websitersquos

content which isnrsquot optimised for mobile and simply leave the website for another one Thus resulting in an increase in the bounce rate of your site To reduce the bounce rate of your website you need a fully responsive and mobile friendly web-site If you fail to provide a better user experience to your consumers then they might opt for your competitors This will eventually result in degrading your mar-ket value and loss of sales

SOCIAL MEDIA CAN PLAY a great role in shaping your business image so it is important to invest in building a good social media presence Customers now rely on social media to shape their decisions and learn about businesses before making any purchase

With the booming of the web especially after the emergence and spread of social media networks people start to rely on these networks to make their everyday life choices including shopping and purchase decisions For the great impact these online networks have in shaping customersrsquo deci-sions it becomes crucial for an organization to have a neat and significant presence on these networks to maintain a close knit relationship with their present and pro-spective clients

Be it in the physical or virtual world every organization aims at building a good reputation and reflecting a positive image to their customers Online social media plat-forms offer great opportunities to spread the word of mouth about businesses world-wide Thatrsquos why social media networks become one of the important mediums on which brands are built

A new study carried by researchers from Romania and Thailand has highlighted

the impact of social media on a companyrsquos image This case study ldquowas conducted to a 258 respondents having the age between 18 and 41 years oldrdquo To answer the question of how often consumers read or actively take part on discussions initiated in online social networks the study finds that ldquo244 never 2683 sometimes 5122 often and 1951 alwaysrdquo

Researchers also investigated whether or not users on social networks pay ldquomore attention to the online discussion related to the productsservices they are frequently using A whopping 8249 of the respon-dents answered the question positively and confirmed that they ldquoare attentive to this kind of informationrdquo

Social media networks play an impor-tant role in shaping the companyrsquos image and how it is perceived by customers Researchers stated that the study result has given an insightful conclusion that ldquothe companyrsquos image is related to all three con-structions the usersrsquo social influence the organizational promotion and the perceived image in OSN (online social networks)rdquo

Many other studies have stressed on the importance of social media networks for businesses This Research for instance has dealt with the importance of virtual

communities and how they can influence trust of online shoppers As stated by the study ldquovirtual communities offer several advantages to e-tailers and opportunities for the interaction with members of virtual communities consumersrdquo

Another study also tackled the issue and stressed on the importance of social pres-ence and how it affects customersrsquo trust The study stated that ldquosocial presence is a determinant of trust in a retail websiterdquo

In order to build a good relationship with customers and win their trust an online business needs to maintain a good social presence so the customer feels as if they are ldquowith a real vendor This feeling comes from the emotion during the inter-action with the websiterdquo researchers stated

Social media use continues to grow in a significant rate Companies need to take advantage of prospective clients that can be reached by these networks and include social media in their marketing and overall business strategy

As social media has become an impor-tant way to boost business growth and enhance presence in the ever so competi-tive business market any business would be at a competitive disadvantage if they do not have some sort of social media presence

Facing a hearing loss was unexpected and devastating but it has molded me into the Hearing Practitioner I am today Irsquove learned so much from my own experience

I woke up to a hearing loss in my right ear around 11 years ago Working in the field I always thought I would know how to handle a hearing loss of my own if it ever occurred ldquowhen I was olderrdquo I never thought that at 27 I would be facing it My emotions were a kaleidoscope to be honest I was angry embarrassed and afraid

Coming to terms with my own hearing loss has made my life so much easier Situations are not as stressful and I just feel happier It has empowered me to connect with my patients on an entirely new level When we opened Quality Care Hearing it wasnrsquot about prescribing hearing aids it was about making people of all ages who live with hearing loss understand it embrace it and feel confident and happy again

MORE AND MORE PEOPLE are choosing Naturopathy as their preferred method of treatment - and for good rea-son At The Optimum Wellness Clinic we are Edmontonrsquos Top alternative health clinic and are proud to offer Naturopathic treatment and therapies to patients After graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario in 2000 as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine with two clinical excellence awards Dr AJ DeNault founded Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic and has continued to widen the clinicrsquos scope of practice and naturopathic knowledge base Prior to his Naturopathic studies Dr DeNault prac-ticed pharmacy in both Alberta and Ontario for over 25 years This pharmacy back-ground aids in assessing and preventing possible interactions between conventional and natural medicines and treatments that various patients may be taking at various stages of treatment

So what is Naturopathic medicine And who could benefit from it It is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with tradi-tional and natural forms of medicines It is

based on the healing power of nature and it supports and stimulates the bodyrsquos abil-ity to heal itself Natural therapies such as botanical medicine clinical nutrition tra-ditional Chinese medicine and more are used in disease diagnosis treatment and prevention Dr DeNaultrsquos practice-focus includes cancer care with hyperthermia and various IV and injection therapies The other doctors practice-focus includes wom-enrsquos health including fertility pre-natal care and hormone testing children and menrsquos health digestive health and food intoler-ance testing All the practitioners work together with the patient to develop the right strategy and approach for each unique circumstance

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat patients as individuals by addressing the physical environmental lifestyle attitudi-nal and emotional aspects of health This allows NDs to find and treat the cause of disease using natural therapies The goal is to address the cause of the illness rather than simply treating or suppressing the symptoms Both NDs and MDs provide primary care and both are similarly trained The primary difference between the two lies

in the philosophical approach and therapies used Naturopathic medicine can be used to treat all forms of health concerns whether itrsquos pediatric geriatric chronic illness or even psychological Naturopathy is a great option for those patients looking for dis-ease prevention strategies or those looking to combine conventional and naturopathic treatments with the aim of minimizing side effects of drugs surgery or conventional treatments At The Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic the Naturopathic Doctor will choose the natural medicines and ther-apies that are safe and effective with the goal of increasing your health and decreas-ing harmful side effects Their team is eager to continue helping patients with a natural lifestyle friendly approach

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

Irsquod like to take this opportunity to enhance your consumerentrepre-neur experience by offering you valuable insight - infor-mation that Irsquove personally collected over the past six months while combin-ing both sectors Itrsquos not surprising that the most renowned surveys state that 93 of North Americans search their smartphones before making purchase decisions Talk about being plugged in Yes - it is a fact that when people want to know do buy or go they turn to their smartphones

f i rst Google recently released a study prov-ing that 30 of all mobile searches are related to loca-tions (ie where to buyfind certain products and what time certain stores open) 76 of people who search on their smartphones for products nearby visit a business within a day and 28 of those searches for that product nearby result in purchases When you do the math itrsquos obvious that a businessesrsquo online personal-ity is extremely important

Isnrsquot it surprising given the above that even with all this valuable information available at everyonersquos fin-gertips studies and surveys still found that over 50 of business owners in North America donrsquot invest much time or money on updating

their websitesocial media platforms So how are these business remaining successful Whatrsquos their secret Well we all know that the pen is mightier than the sword - thatrsquos why print remains such a via-ble option for information even in this technological age

The Risk of Loaning Your VehicleDID YOU KNOW THAT LENDING YOUR CAR ALSO MEANS YOU ARE LENDING YOUR INSURANCEDavid Hollingsworth Lawyer

DAVID HOLLINGSWORTH Principal Lawyer and Founder

AS OTTAWA INJURY LAWYERS we hate breaking the news to people about the repercussions of loaning your vehicle Most people donrsquot realize that when you lend your vehicle to someone else and they are involved in a collision and are at-fault your auto insurance policy may be the policy that ultimately pays out for any injuries or damages if a personal injury claim is made In the end this could cost the owner of the vehicle because as we all know insurance rates can increase once a claim is made These costs can range On the lighter side the owner of the vehicle may have to pay a deductible however depending on the circumstances of the accident the owner of the vehicle could be on the hook for a lot more For example if the borrower is in breach of a condition of the insurance policy perhaps their driverrsquos license was expired or perhaps they were charged with distracted driving (texting while driving)

the ownerrsquos insurance company can possi-bly deny insurance coverage If this denial were to occur the owner may personally be responsible for any losses suffered If the accident is serious in nature and someone is seriously injured this could mean that the owner of the vehicle could be respon-sible for hundreds of thousands of dollars or even millions of dollars in compensa-tion In Ontario lending your vehicle to someone else could potentially put you in a vulnerable situation While you may think throwing your buddy the keys to take your car is no big deal our Ottawa injury lawyers caution you to think long and hard about this decision Who knows if your friend might throw their friend the keys Your good standing with your insur-ance company could potentially be at risk should the borrower get into an accident Please exercise caution when lending your vehicle There is so much more at stake

Celebrating 10 Years as Markhamrsquos Best Family Law Firm THE FELDSTEIN FAMILY LAW GROUP HAS BEEN VOTED TOP CHOICE BY CLIENTS

FOR A DECADE

by Louise Byrne

WHATrsquoS HARDER THAN GETTING to the top Staying on top Yet Feldstein Family Law Group has remained on top for 10 years as voted by clients and colleagues

Whether it is hockey tennis or in busi-ness getting to the top is a tough journey But remaining on top is even tougher because competitors have something to shoot at And everyone ups their game So you constantly have to up your game as well

No one understands this better than founder and principal lawyer Andrew Feldstein Whatrsquos his secret sauce ldquoInnovation and bold ideas must go from drawing board to implementation at light-ning speedrdquo says Feldstein

When clients arrive at the Firm they are typically upset and worried about the future of their children as well as their own prospects of building a new life ldquoFamily law is emotional stressful and personal I understand what our clients are going through Irsquom divorced toordquo explains Feldstein

He and his team of lawyers know that their job as lawyers is critical because the outcome of any agreement between sepa-rating spouses or partners will affect them greatlymdashand for years to come

During the 20 years that the Firm has practised family law exclusively Feldstein Family Law Group lawyers have an envi-able record of success settling hundreds of

separations efficiently effectively andmdashif possiblemdashamicably

Being an early adopter of technology Andrew Feldstein built the biggest website in Canada on separation and divorce more than 10 years ago at wwwseparationca Here you will find articles case law blogs FAQs videos and media articles quoting him One of the best tools on the separa-tionca website is a series of articles entitled ldquoRoadmap to Divorcerdquo

ldquoSeparation and divorce are complex As well there is much confusion about rights and responsibilities of wives and husbands as well as common-law spouses I wanted people to have this information for freerdquo says Feldstein

Andrew Feldstein has been blazing trails on the internet ldquoAsk Andrewrdquo is a live-to-the internet monthly show that premiered in October 2015 Viewers can email text or call in their questions about separation divorce custody access support and divi-sion of property (Check wwwseparationca for broadcast details)

ldquoWe believe this is the first show by a lawyer anywhere on the internet And who

doesnrsquot want to talk to a lawyer for freerdquo he quips

Andrew Feldstein devotes a lot of time speaking about family law He is sought out by reporters at The Globe and Mail The National Post and The Toronto Star as an expert commentator He is a regular on Newstalk 1010mdashTorontorsquos largest talk radio stationmdashand is affectionately referred to as ldquotheir family law lawyerrdquo

Tax-efficiency is one of the main ben-efits of a financial plan Jonathan Flawn a Certified Financial Planner and Pagersquos in-house Chartered Accountant says ldquoTaxes are very complex and most of our clients are not experts in this area Many are not

taking advantage of all the deductions and credits that they could be using and most have not structured their investments to minimize tax exposure We take great care to build the customized financial forecasts needed to support the long-term planning strategies that will reduce our clientsrsquo life-time tax burdenrdquo

If this sounds like the level of service yoursquod want for your own financial planning you can arrange for an Initial Assessment and Evaluation meeting and walk out with a complimentary report Donald Page explains ldquoWe still offer our Initial Assessment on a complimentary basis so that there is no risk for someone looking to find out more about how we can help them in their specific situation Even clients who choose not to engage us as their advisors say they have benefitted by going through this process with usrdquo

products on mobile devices and return to the same site on desktops More than 90 people have said that accomplishing a task includes switching between devices or ldquomulti-screeningrdquo You will build trust from your website users if you provide a better experience to them with a mobile friendly site

INCREASED CONVERSIONSWebsites that arenrsquot optimised for

mobile simply fail to convert visitors into buyers The whole layout becomes clumsy and users find it difficult to place any orders

DECREASE IN BOUNCE RATEUsers find it difficult to read a websitersquos

content which isnrsquot optimised for mobile and simply leave the website for another one Thus resulting in an increase in the bounce rate of your site To reduce the bounce rate of your website you need a fully responsive and mobile friendly web-site If you fail to provide a better user experience to your consumers then they might opt for your competitors This will eventually result in degrading your mar-ket value and loss of sales

SOCIAL MEDIA CAN PLAY a great role in shaping your business image so it is important to invest in building a good social media presence Customers now rely on social media to shape their decisions and learn about businesses before making any purchase

With the booming of the web especially after the emergence and spread of social media networks people start to rely on these networks to make their everyday life choices including shopping and purchase decisions For the great impact these online networks have in shaping customersrsquo deci-sions it becomes crucial for an organization to have a neat and significant presence on these networks to maintain a close knit relationship with their present and pro-spective clients

Be it in the physical or virtual world every organization aims at building a good reputation and reflecting a positive image to their customers Online social media plat-forms offer great opportunities to spread the word of mouth about businesses world-wide Thatrsquos why social media networks become one of the important mediums on which brands are built

A new study carried by researchers from Romania and Thailand has highlighted

the impact of social media on a companyrsquos image This case study ldquowas conducted to a 258 respondents having the age between 18 and 41 years oldrdquo To answer the question of how often consumers read or actively take part on discussions initiated in online social networks the study finds that ldquo244 never 2683 sometimes 5122 often and 1951 alwaysrdquo

Researchers also investigated whether or not users on social networks pay ldquomore attention to the online discussion related to the productsservices they are frequently using A whopping 8249 of the respon-dents answered the question positively and confirmed that they ldquoare attentive to this kind of informationrdquo

Social media networks play an impor-tant role in shaping the companyrsquos image and how it is perceived by customers Researchers stated that the study result has given an insightful conclusion that ldquothe companyrsquos image is related to all three con-structions the usersrsquo social influence the organizational promotion and the perceived image in OSN (online social networks)rdquo

Many other studies have stressed on the importance of social media networks for businesses This Research for instance has dealt with the importance of virtual

communities and how they can influence trust of online shoppers As stated by the study ldquovirtual communities offer several advantages to e-tailers and opportunities for the interaction with members of virtual communities consumersrdquo

Another study also tackled the issue and stressed on the importance of social pres-ence and how it affects customersrsquo trust The study stated that ldquosocial presence is a determinant of trust in a retail websiterdquo

In order to build a good relationship with customers and win their trust an online business needs to maintain a good social presence so the customer feels as if they are ldquowith a real vendor This feeling comes from the emotion during the inter-action with the websiterdquo researchers stated

Social media use continues to grow in a significant rate Companies need to take advantage of prospective clients that can be reached by these networks and include social media in their marketing and overall business strategy

As social media has become an impor-tant way to boost business growth and enhance presence in the ever so competi-tive business market any business would be at a competitive disadvantage if they do not have some sort of social media presence

Facing a hearing loss was unexpected and devastating but it has molded me into the Hearing Practitioner I am today Irsquove learned so much from my own experience

I woke up to a hearing loss in my right ear around 11 years ago Working in the field I always thought I would know how to handle a hearing loss of my own if it ever occurred ldquowhen I was olderrdquo I never thought that at 27 I would be facing it My emotions were a kaleidoscope to be honest I was angry embarrassed and afraid

Coming to terms with my own hearing loss has made my life so much easier Situations are not as stressful and I just feel happier It has empowered me to connect with my patients on an entirely new level When we opened Quality Care Hearing it wasnrsquot about prescribing hearing aids it was about making people of all ages who live with hearing loss understand it embrace it and feel confident and happy again

MORE AND MORE PEOPLE are choosing Naturopathy as their preferred method of treatment - and for good rea-son At The Optimum Wellness Clinic we are Edmontonrsquos Top alternative health clinic and are proud to offer Naturopathic treatment and therapies to patients After graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario in 2000 as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine with two clinical excellence awards Dr AJ DeNault founded Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic and has continued to widen the clinicrsquos scope of practice and naturopathic knowledge base Prior to his Naturopathic studies Dr DeNault prac-ticed pharmacy in both Alberta and Ontario for over 25 years This pharmacy back-ground aids in assessing and preventing possible interactions between conventional and natural medicines and treatments that various patients may be taking at various stages of treatment

So what is Naturopathic medicine And who could benefit from it It is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with tradi-tional and natural forms of medicines It is

based on the healing power of nature and it supports and stimulates the bodyrsquos abil-ity to heal itself Natural therapies such as botanical medicine clinical nutrition tra-ditional Chinese medicine and more are used in disease diagnosis treatment and prevention Dr DeNaultrsquos practice-focus includes cancer care with hyperthermia and various IV and injection therapies The other doctors practice-focus includes wom-enrsquos health including fertility pre-natal care and hormone testing children and menrsquos health digestive health and food intoler-ance testing All the practitioners work together with the patient to develop the right strategy and approach for each unique circumstance

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat patients as individuals by addressing the physical environmental lifestyle attitudi-nal and emotional aspects of health This allows NDs to find and treat the cause of disease using natural therapies The goal is to address the cause of the illness rather than simply treating or suppressing the symptoms Both NDs and MDs provide primary care and both are similarly trained The primary difference between the two lies

in the philosophical approach and therapies used Naturopathic medicine can be used to treat all forms of health concerns whether itrsquos pediatric geriatric chronic illness or even psychological Naturopathy is a great option for those patients looking for dis-ease prevention strategies or those looking to combine conventional and naturopathic treatments with the aim of minimizing side effects of drugs surgery or conventional treatments At The Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic the Naturopathic Doctor will choose the natural medicines and ther-apies that are safe and effective with the goal of increasing your health and decreas-ing harmful side effects Their team is eager to continue helping patients with a natural lifestyle friendly approach

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

HELLO THERE IrsquoD LIKE to first thank you for taking the time to read our latest issue We hope this magazine finds you in great health and full of positive energy to share with all those that may cross your path

Irsquod like to take this opportunity to enhance your consumerentrepre-neur experience by offering you valuable insight - infor-mation that Irsquove personally collected over the past six months while combin-ing both sectors Itrsquos not surprising that the most renowned surveys state that 93 of North Americans search their smartphones before making purchase decisions Talk about being plugged in Yes - it is a fact that when people want to know do buy or go they turn to their smartphones

f i rst Google recently released a study prov-ing that 30 of all mobile searches are related to loca-tions (ie where to buyfind certain products and what time certain stores open) 76 of people who search on their smartphones for products nearby visit a business within a day and 28 of those searches for that product nearby result in purchases When you do the math itrsquos obvious that a businessesrsquo online personal-ity is extremely important

Isnrsquot it surprising given the above that even with all this valuable information available at everyonersquos fin-gertips studies and surveys still found that over 50 of business owners in North America donrsquot invest much time or money on updating

their websitesocial media platforms So how are these business remaining successful Whatrsquos their secret Well we all know that the pen is mightier than the sword - thatrsquos why print remains such a via-ble option for information even in this technological age

Most consumers turn to online surveys and reviews to share their experiences with different business however not every busi-ness owner is in favour of adapting to the online world And thatrsquos okay Top Choice Media is there for all our clients - what-ever their needs We will continue to study peoplersquos wants and and deliver the trusted services they can rely on - online or in print

The Risk of Loaning Your VehicleDID YOU KNOW THAT LENDING YOUR CAR ALSO MEANS YOU ARE LENDING YOUR INSURANCEDavid Hollingsworth Lawyer

DAVID HOLLINGSWORTH Principal Lawyer and Founder

AS OTTAWA INJURY LAWYERS we hate breaking the news to people about the repercussions of loaning your vehicle Most people donrsquot realize that when you lend your vehicle to someone else and they are involved in a collision and are at-fault your auto insurance policy may be the policy that ultimately pays out for any injuries or damages if a personal injury claim is made In the end this could cost the owner of the vehicle because as we all know insurance rates can increase once a claim is made These costs can range On the lighter side the owner of the vehicle may have to pay a deductible however depending on the circumstances of the accident the owner of the vehicle could be on the hook for a lot more For example if the borrower is in breach of a condition of the insurance policy perhaps their driverrsquos license was expired or perhaps they were charged with distracted driving (texting while driving)

the ownerrsquos insurance company can possi-bly deny insurance coverage If this denial were to occur the owner may personally be responsible for any losses suffered If the accident is serious in nature and someone is seriously injured this could mean that the owner of the vehicle could be respon-sible for hundreds of thousands of dollars or even millions of dollars in compensa-tion In Ontario lending your vehicle to someone else could potentially put you in a vulnerable situation While you may think throwing your buddy the keys to take your car is no big deal our Ottawa injury lawyers caution you to think long and hard about this decision Who knows if your friend might throw their friend the keys Your good standing with your insur-ance company could potentially be at risk should the borrower get into an accident Please exercise caution when lending your vehicle There is so much more at stake

Celebrating 10 Years as Markhamrsquos Best Family Law Firm THE FELDSTEIN FAMILY LAW GROUP HAS BEEN VOTED TOP CHOICE BY CLIENTS

FOR A DECADE

by Louise Byrne

WHATrsquoS HARDER THAN GETTING to the top Staying on top Yet Feldstein Family Law Group has remained on top for 10 years as voted by clients and colleagues

Whether it is hockey tennis or in busi-ness getting to the top is a tough journey But remaining on top is even tougher because competitors have something to shoot at And everyone ups their game So you constantly have to up your game as well

No one understands this better than founder and principal lawyer Andrew Feldstein Whatrsquos his secret sauce ldquoInnovation and bold ideas must go from drawing board to implementation at light-ning speedrdquo says Feldstein

When clients arrive at the Firm they are typically upset and worried about the future of their children as well as their own prospects of building a new life ldquoFamily law is emotional stressful and personal I understand what our clients are going through Irsquom divorced toordquo explains Feldstein

He and his team of lawyers know that their job as lawyers is critical because the outcome of any agreement between sepa-rating spouses or partners will affect them greatlymdashand for years to come

During the 20 years that the Firm has practised family law exclusively Feldstein Family Law Group lawyers have an envi-able record of success settling hundreds of

separations efficiently effectively andmdashif possiblemdashamicably

Being an early adopter of technology Andrew Feldstein built the biggest website in Canada on separation and divorce more than 10 years ago at wwwseparationca Here you will find articles case law blogs FAQs videos and media articles quoting him One of the best tools on the separa-tionca website is a series of articles entitled ldquoRoadmap to Divorcerdquo

ldquoSeparation and divorce are complex As well there is much confusion about rights and responsibilities of wives and husbands as well as common-law spouses I wanted people to have this information for freerdquo says Feldstein

Andrew Feldstein has been blazing trails on the internet ldquoAsk Andrewrdquo is a live-to-the internet monthly show that premiered in October 2015 Viewers can email text or call in their questions about separation divorce custody access support and divi-sion of property (Check wwwseparationca for broadcast details)

ldquoWe believe this is the first show by a lawyer anywhere on the internet And who

doesnrsquot want to talk to a lawyer for freerdquo he quips

Andrew Feldstein devotes a lot of time speaking about family law He is sought out by reporters at The Globe and Mail The National Post and The Toronto Star as an expert commentator He is a regular on Newstalk 1010mdashTorontorsquos largest talk radio stationmdashand is affectionately referred to as ldquotheir family law lawyerrdquo

ldquoStudies show that people with a writ-ten financial plan earn higher returns and have less stress We figured most peo-ple would want those benefitsrdquo says Frank Miemiec VP Operations He is surprised at how many of the firmrsquos new clients donrsquot get this service from their former advisors

or thought what they had was a financial plan but was only an investment policy statement or value projection

Rick Page adds ldquoFew of our competitors offer comprehensive financial planning ser-vices that bring together tax planning cash flow management risk management and investing to ensure that clientsrsquo retirement and estate goals can be achieved in the most effective and tax-efficient way possi-blerdquo He explains that the firmrsquos team-based approach allows them to deliver superior service because they have in-house experts in various fields contributing to the devel-opment of their clientsrsquo plans ldquoWe have a CA and MBAs in house and an extensive network of professionals such as lawyers and mortgage brokers to draw on when our clients donrsquot already have established ser-vice providers in these areasrdquo

Tax-efficiency is one of the main ben-efits of a financial plan Jonathan Flawn a Certified Financial Planner and Pagersquos in-house Chartered Accountant says ldquoTaxes are very complex and most of our clients are not experts in this area Many are not

taking advantage of all the deductions and credits that they could be using and most have not structured their investments to minimize tax exposure We take great care to build the customized financial forecasts needed to support the long-term planning strategies that will reduce our clientsrsquo life-time tax burdenrdquo

If this sounds like the level of service yoursquod want for your own financial planning you can arrange for an Initial Assessment and Evaluation meeting and walk out with a complimentary report Donald Page explains ldquoWe still offer our Initial Assessment on a complimentary basis so that there is no risk for someone looking to find out more about how we can help them in their specific situation Even clients who choose not to engage us as their advisors say they have benefitted by going through this process with usrdquo

Having a mobile optimised website has become essential after Google released an update that will prefer mobile friendly websites Here are some reasons why you should optimise your website for mobile devices Mobile friendliness plays a crucial role in the SEO of your website

If your website is not optimised for mobile then you are going to lose sales Various studies have clearly shown that almost every user will leave your website if itrsquos not optimised for mobile or takes a long time to load

Even Google has rolled out a new update on April 21st 2015 that provides advantages to websites that are mobile friendly So itrsquos quite clear now that if your website isnrsquot mobile friendly or responsive then it will surely lose ranks

Still havenrsquot optimised your website Here are a few reasons why you should have a mobile friendly website

PEOPLE USING MOBILE WANT QUICK SOLUTIONS

People using mobile phones for access-ing internet may have different objectives than desktop users The mobile users are looking for information which is quick

and easy to understand Various research has shown that mobile users tend to make impulse purchases and do more shopping compared to desktop usersThis explains the importance of optimising your web-site for different types of platforms in order to meet consumersrsquo demands By making your website mobile friendly you can ensure that users can make purchases easily

MOBILE RESPONSIVE SITES GENERATE TRAFFIC

With almost half of the web searches being made through mobile the impor-tance of having a mobile website has become just as important as having a web-site Various sources have reported that people are using their Smartphone for surfing the web even when theyrsquore busy doing other work Considering all these reports itrsquos a suitable time to switch to mobile friendly website

BRAND ENGAGEMENTIf you offer a better mobile experi-

ence people will become more fond of your brand enough to return to your website repeatedly Often people view

products on mobile devices and return to the same site on desktops More than 90 people have said that accomplishing a task includes switching between devices or ldquomulti-screeningrdquo You will build trust from your website users if you provide a better experience to them with a mobile friendly site

INCREASED CONVERSIONSWebsites that arenrsquot optimised for

mobile simply fail to convert visitors into buyers The whole layout becomes clumsy and users find it difficult to place any orders

DECREASE IN BOUNCE RATEUsers find it difficult to read a websitersquos

content which isnrsquot optimised for mobile and simply leave the website for another one Thus resulting in an increase in the bounce rate of your site To reduce the bounce rate of your website you need a fully responsive and mobile friendly web-site If you fail to provide a better user experience to your consumers then they might opt for your competitors This will eventually result in degrading your mar-ket value and loss of sales

SOCIAL MEDIA CAN PLAY a great role in shaping your business image so it is important to invest in building a good social media presence Customers now rely on social media to shape their decisions and learn about businesses before making any purchase

With the booming of the web especially after the emergence and spread of social media networks people start to rely on these networks to make their everyday life choices including shopping and purchase decisions For the great impact these online networks have in shaping customersrsquo deci-sions it becomes crucial for an organization to have a neat and significant presence on these networks to maintain a close knit relationship with their present and pro-spective clients

Be it in the physical or virtual world every organization aims at building a good reputation and reflecting a positive image to their customers Online social media plat-forms offer great opportunities to spread the word of mouth about businesses world-wide Thatrsquos why social media networks become one of the important mediums on which brands are built

A new study carried by researchers from Romania and Thailand has highlighted

the impact of social media on a companyrsquos image This case study ldquowas conducted to a 258 respondents having the age between 18 and 41 years oldrdquo To answer the question of how often consumers read or actively take part on discussions initiated in online social networks the study finds that ldquo244 never 2683 sometimes 5122 often and 1951 alwaysrdquo

Researchers also investigated whether or not users on social networks pay ldquomore attention to the online discussion related to the productsservices they are frequently using A whopping 8249 of the respon-dents answered the question positively and confirmed that they ldquoare attentive to this kind of informationrdquo

Social media networks play an impor-tant role in shaping the companyrsquos image and how it is perceived by customers Researchers stated that the study result has given an insightful conclusion that ldquothe companyrsquos image is related to all three con-structions the usersrsquo social influence the organizational promotion and the perceived image in OSN (online social networks)rdquo

Many other studies have stressed on the importance of social media networks for businesses This Research for instance has dealt with the importance of virtual

communities and how they can influence trust of online shoppers As stated by the study ldquovirtual communities offer several advantages to e-tailers and opportunities for the interaction with members of virtual communities consumersrdquo

Another study also tackled the issue and stressed on the importance of social pres-ence and how it affects customersrsquo trust The study stated that ldquosocial presence is a determinant of trust in a retail websiterdquo

In order to build a good relationship with customers and win their trust an online business needs to maintain a good social presence so the customer feels as if they are ldquowith a real vendor This feeling comes from the emotion during the inter-action with the websiterdquo researchers stated

Social media use continues to grow in a significant rate Companies need to take advantage of prospective clients that can be reached by these networks and include social media in their marketing and overall business strategy

As social media has become an impor-tant way to boost business growth and enhance presence in the ever so competi-tive business market any business would be at a competitive disadvantage if they do not have some sort of social media presence

Facing a hearing loss was unexpected and devastating but it has molded me into the Hearing Practitioner I am today Irsquove learned so much from my own experience

I woke up to a hearing loss in my right ear around 11 years ago Working in the field I always thought I would know how to handle a hearing loss of my own if it ever occurred ldquowhen I was olderrdquo I never thought that at 27 I would be facing it My emotions were a kaleidoscope to be honest I was angry embarrassed and afraid

Coming to terms with my own hearing loss has made my life so much easier Situations are not as stressful and I just feel happier It has empowered me to connect with my patients on an entirely new level When we opened Quality Care Hearing it wasnrsquot about prescribing hearing aids it was about making people of all ages who live with hearing loss understand it embrace it and feel confident and happy again

MORE AND MORE PEOPLE are choosing Naturopathy as their preferred method of treatment - and for good rea-son At The Optimum Wellness Clinic we are Edmontonrsquos Top alternative health clinic and are proud to offer Naturopathic treatment and therapies to patients After graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario in 2000 as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine with two clinical excellence awards Dr AJ DeNault founded Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic and has continued to widen the clinicrsquos scope of practice and naturopathic knowledge base Prior to his Naturopathic studies Dr DeNault prac-ticed pharmacy in both Alberta and Ontario for over 25 years This pharmacy back-ground aids in assessing and preventing possible interactions between conventional and natural medicines and treatments that various patients may be taking at various stages of treatment

So what is Naturopathic medicine And who could benefit from it It is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with tradi-tional and natural forms of medicines It is

based on the healing power of nature and it supports and stimulates the bodyrsquos abil-ity to heal itself Natural therapies such as botanical medicine clinical nutrition tra-ditional Chinese medicine and more are used in disease diagnosis treatment and prevention Dr DeNaultrsquos practice-focus includes cancer care with hyperthermia and various IV and injection therapies The other doctors practice-focus includes wom-enrsquos health including fertility pre-natal care and hormone testing children and menrsquos health digestive health and food intoler-ance testing All the practitioners work together with the patient to develop the right strategy and approach for each unique circumstance

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat patients as individuals by addressing the physical environmental lifestyle attitudi-nal and emotional aspects of health This allows NDs to find and treat the cause of disease using natural therapies The goal is to address the cause of the illness rather than simply treating or suppressing the symptoms Both NDs and MDs provide primary care and both are similarly trained The primary difference between the two lies

in the philosophical approach and therapies used Naturopathic medicine can be used to treat all forms of health concerns whether itrsquos pediatric geriatric chronic illness or even psychological Naturopathy is a great option for those patients looking for dis-ease prevention strategies or those looking to combine conventional and naturopathic treatments with the aim of minimizing side effects of drugs surgery or conventional treatments At The Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic the Naturopathic Doctor will choose the natural medicines and ther-apies that are safe and effective with the goal of increasing your health and decreas-ing harmful side effects Their team is eager to continue helping patients with a natural lifestyle friendly approach

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

The Risk of Loaning Your VehicleDID YOU KNOW THAT LENDING YOUR CAR ALSO MEANS YOU ARE LENDING YOUR INSURANCEDavid Hollingsworth Lawyer

DAVID HOLLINGSWORTH Principal Lawyer and Founder

AS OTTAWA INJURY LAWYERS we hate breaking the news to people about the repercussions of loaning your vehicle Most people donrsquot realize that when you lend your vehicle to someone else and they are involved in a collision and are at-fault your auto insurance policy may be the policy that ultimately pays out for any injuries or damages if a personal injury claim is made In the end this could cost the owner of the vehicle because as we all know insurance rates can increase once a claim is made These costs can range On the lighter side the owner of the vehicle may have to pay a deductible however depending on the circumstances of the accident the owner of the vehicle could be on the hook for a lot more For example if the borrower is in breach of a condition of the insurance policy perhaps their driverrsquos license was expired or perhaps they were charged with distracted driving (texting while driving)

the ownerrsquos insurance company can possi-bly deny insurance coverage If this denial were to occur the owner may personally be responsible for any losses suffered If the accident is serious in nature and someone is seriously injured this could mean that the owner of the vehicle could be respon-sible for hundreds of thousands of dollars or even millions of dollars in compensa-tion In Ontario lending your vehicle to someone else could potentially put you in a vulnerable situation While you may think throwing your buddy the keys to take your car is no big deal our Ottawa injury lawyers caution you to think long and hard about this decision Who knows if your friend might throw their friend the keys Your good standing with your insur-ance company could potentially be at risk should the borrower get into an accident Please exercise caution when lending your vehicle There is so much more at stake

FOR A DECADE

by Louise Byrne

WHATrsquoS HARDER THAN GETTING to the top Staying on top Yet Feldstein Family Law Group has remained on top for 10 years as voted by clients and colleagues

Whether it is hockey tennis or in busi-ness getting to the top is a tough journey But remaining on top is even tougher because competitors have something to shoot at And everyone ups their game So you constantly have to up your game as well

No one understands this better than founder and principal lawyer Andrew Feldstein Whatrsquos his secret sauce ldquoInnovation and bold ideas must go from drawing board to implementation at light-ning speedrdquo says Feldstein

When clients arrive at the Firm they are typically upset and worried about the future of their children as well as their own prospects of building a new life ldquoFamily law is emotional stressful and personal I understand what our clients are going through Irsquom divorced toordquo explains Feldstein

He and his team of lawyers know that their job as lawyers is critical because the outcome of any agreement between sepa-rating spouses or partners will affect them greatlymdashand for years to come

During the 20 years that the Firm has practised family law exclusively Feldstein Family Law Group lawyers have an envi-able record of success settling hundreds of

separations efficiently effectively andmdashif possiblemdashamicably

Being an early adopter of technology Andrew Feldstein built the biggest website in Canada on separation and divorce more than 10 years ago at wwwseparationca Here you will find articles case law blogs FAQs videos and media articles quoting him One of the best tools on the separa-tionca website is a series of articles entitled ldquoRoadmap to Divorcerdquo

ldquoSeparation and divorce are complex As well there is much confusion about rights and responsibilities of wives and husbands as well as common-law spouses I wanted people to have this information for freerdquo says Feldstein

Andrew Feldstein has been blazing trails on the internet ldquoAsk Andrewrdquo is a live-to-the internet monthly show that premiered in October 2015 Viewers can email text or call in their questions about separation divorce custody access support and divi-sion of property (Check wwwseparationca for broadcast details)

ldquoWe believe this is the first show by a lawyer anywhere on the internet And who

doesnrsquot want to talk to a lawyer for freerdquo he quips

Andrew Feldstein devotes a lot of time speaking about family law He is sought out by reporters at The Globe and Mail The National Post and The Toronto Star as an expert commentator He is a regular on Newstalk 1010mdashTorontorsquos largest talk radio stationmdashand is affectionately referred to as ldquotheir family law lawyerrdquo

ldquoStudies show that people with a writ-ten financial plan earn higher returns and have less stress We figured most peo-ple would want those benefitsrdquo says Frank Miemiec VP Operations He is surprised at how many of the firmrsquos new clients donrsquot get this service from their former advisors

or thought what they had was a financial plan but was only an investment policy statement or value projection

Rick Page adds ldquoFew of our competitors offer comprehensive financial planning ser-vices that bring together tax planning cash flow management risk management and investing to ensure that clientsrsquo retirement and estate goals can be achieved in the most effective and tax-efficient way possi-blerdquo He explains that the firmrsquos team-based approach allows them to deliver superior service because they have in-house experts in various fields contributing to the devel-opment of their clientsrsquo plans ldquoWe have a CA and MBAs in house and an extensive network of professionals such as lawyers and mortgage brokers to draw on when our clients donrsquot already have established ser-vice providers in these areasrdquo

Tax-efficiency is one of the main ben-efits of a financial plan Jonathan Flawn a Certified Financial Planner and Pagersquos in-house Chartered Accountant says ldquoTaxes are very complex and most of our clients are not experts in this area Many are not

taking advantage of all the deductions and credits that they could be using and most have not structured their investments to minimize tax exposure We take great care to build the customized financial forecasts needed to support the long-term planning strategies that will reduce our clientsrsquo life-time tax burdenrdquo

If this sounds like the level of service yoursquod want for your own financial planning you can arrange for an Initial Assessment and Evaluation meeting and walk out with a complimentary report Donald Page explains ldquoWe still offer our Initial Assessment on a complimentary basis so that there is no risk for someone looking to find out more about how we can help them in their specific situation Even clients who choose not to engage us as their advisors say they have benefitted by going through this process with usrdquo

Having a mobile optimised website has become essential after Google released an update that will prefer mobile friendly websites Here are some reasons why you should optimise your website for mobile devices Mobile friendliness plays a crucial role in the SEO of your website

If your website is not optimised for mobile then you are going to lose sales Various studies have clearly shown that almost every user will leave your website if itrsquos not optimised for mobile or takes a long time to load

Even Google has rolled out a new update on April 21st 2015 that provides advantages to websites that are mobile friendly So itrsquos quite clear now that if your website isnrsquot mobile friendly or responsive then it will surely lose ranks

Still havenrsquot optimised your website Here are a few reasons why you should have a mobile friendly website

PEOPLE USING MOBILE WANT QUICK SOLUTIONS

People using mobile phones for access-ing internet may have different objectives than desktop users The mobile users are looking for information which is quick

and easy to understand Various research has shown that mobile users tend to make impulse purchases and do more shopping compared to desktop usersThis explains the importance of optimising your web-site for different types of platforms in order to meet consumersrsquo demands By making your website mobile friendly you can ensure that users can make purchases easily

MOBILE RESPONSIVE SITES GENERATE TRAFFIC

With almost half of the web searches being made through mobile the impor-tance of having a mobile website has become just as important as having a web-site Various sources have reported that people are using their Smartphone for surfing the web even when theyrsquore busy doing other work Considering all these reports itrsquos a suitable time to switch to mobile friendly website

BRAND ENGAGEMENTIf you offer a better mobile experi-

ence people will become more fond of your brand enough to return to your website repeatedly Often people view

products on mobile devices and return to the same site on desktops More than 90 people have said that accomplishing a task includes switching between devices or ldquomulti-screeningrdquo You will build trust from your website users if you provide a better experience to them with a mobile friendly site

INCREASED CONVERSIONSWebsites that arenrsquot optimised for

mobile simply fail to convert visitors into buyers The whole layout becomes clumsy and users find it difficult to place any orders

DECREASE IN BOUNCE RATEUsers find it difficult to read a websitersquos

content which isnrsquot optimised for mobile and simply leave the website for another one Thus resulting in an increase in the bounce rate of your site To reduce the bounce rate of your website you need a fully responsive and mobile friendly web-site If you fail to provide a better user experience to your consumers then they might opt for your competitors This will eventually result in degrading your mar-ket value and loss of sales

SOCIAL MEDIA CAN PLAY a great role in shaping your business image so it is important to invest in building a good social media presence Customers now rely on social media to shape their decisions and learn about businesses before making any purchase

With the booming of the web especially after the emergence and spread of social media networks people start to rely on these networks to make their everyday life choices including shopping and purchase decisions For the great impact these online networks have in shaping customersrsquo deci-sions it becomes crucial for an organization to have a neat and significant presence on these networks to maintain a close knit relationship with their present and pro-spective clients

Be it in the physical or virtual world every organization aims at building a good reputation and reflecting a positive image to their customers Online social media plat-forms offer great opportunities to spread the word of mouth about businesses world-wide Thatrsquos why social media networks become one of the important mediums on which brands are built

A new study carried by researchers from Romania and Thailand has highlighted

the impact of social media on a companyrsquos image This case study ldquowas conducted to a 258 respondents having the age between 18 and 41 years oldrdquo To answer the question of how often consumers read or actively take part on discussions initiated in online social networks the study finds that ldquo244 never 2683 sometimes 5122 often and 1951 alwaysrdquo

Researchers also investigated whether or not users on social networks pay ldquomore attention to the online discussion related to the productsservices they are frequently using A whopping 8249 of the respon-dents answered the question positively and confirmed that they ldquoare attentive to this kind of informationrdquo

Social media networks play an impor-tant role in shaping the companyrsquos image and how it is perceived by customers Researchers stated that the study result has given an insightful conclusion that ldquothe companyrsquos image is related to all three con-structions the usersrsquo social influence the organizational promotion and the perceived image in OSN (online social networks)rdquo

Many other studies have stressed on the importance of social media networks for businesses This Research for instance has dealt with the importance of virtual

communities and how they can influence trust of online shoppers As stated by the study ldquovirtual communities offer several advantages to e-tailers and opportunities for the interaction with members of virtual communities consumersrdquo

Another study also tackled the issue and stressed on the importance of social pres-ence and how it affects customersrsquo trust The study stated that ldquosocial presence is a determinant of trust in a retail websiterdquo

In order to build a good relationship with customers and win their trust an online business needs to maintain a good social presence so the customer feels as if they are ldquowith a real vendor This feeling comes from the emotion during the inter-action with the websiterdquo researchers stated

Social media use continues to grow in a significant rate Companies need to take advantage of prospective clients that can be reached by these networks and include social media in their marketing and overall business strategy

As social media has become an impor-tant way to boost business growth and enhance presence in the ever so competi-tive business market any business would be at a competitive disadvantage if they do not have some sort of social media presence

Facing a hearing loss was unexpected and devastating but it has molded me into the Hearing Practitioner I am today Irsquove learned so much from my own experience

I woke up to a hearing loss in my right ear around 11 years ago Working in the field I always thought I would know how to handle a hearing loss of my own if it ever occurred ldquowhen I was olderrdquo I never thought that at 27 I would be facing it My emotions were a kaleidoscope to be honest I was angry embarrassed and afraid

Coming to terms with my own hearing loss has made my life so much easier Situations are not as stressful and I just feel happier It has empowered me to connect with my patients on an entirely new level When we opened Quality Care Hearing it wasnrsquot about prescribing hearing aids it was about making people of all ages who live with hearing loss understand it embrace it and feel confident and happy again

MORE AND MORE PEOPLE are choosing Naturopathy as their preferred method of treatment - and for good rea-son At The Optimum Wellness Clinic we are Edmontonrsquos Top alternative health clinic and are proud to offer Naturopathic treatment and therapies to patients After graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario in 2000 as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine with two clinical excellence awards Dr AJ DeNault founded Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic and has continued to widen the clinicrsquos scope of practice and naturopathic knowledge base Prior to his Naturopathic studies Dr DeNault prac-ticed pharmacy in both Alberta and Ontario for over 25 years This pharmacy back-ground aids in assessing and preventing possible interactions between conventional and natural medicines and treatments that various patients may be taking at various stages of treatment

So what is Naturopathic medicine And who could benefit from it It is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with tradi-tional and natural forms of medicines It is

based on the healing power of nature and it supports and stimulates the bodyrsquos abil-ity to heal itself Natural therapies such as botanical medicine clinical nutrition tra-ditional Chinese medicine and more are used in disease diagnosis treatment and prevention Dr DeNaultrsquos practice-focus includes cancer care with hyperthermia and various IV and injection therapies The other doctors practice-focus includes wom-enrsquos health including fertility pre-natal care and hormone testing children and menrsquos health digestive health and food intoler-ance testing All the practitioners work together with the patient to develop the right strategy and approach for each unique circumstance

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat patients as individuals by addressing the physical environmental lifestyle attitudi-nal and emotional aspects of health This allows NDs to find and treat the cause of disease using natural therapies The goal is to address the cause of the illness rather than simply treating or suppressing the symptoms Both NDs and MDs provide primary care and both are similarly trained The primary difference between the two lies

in the philosophical approach and therapies used Naturopathic medicine can be used to treat all forms of health concerns whether itrsquos pediatric geriatric chronic illness or even psychological Naturopathy is a great option for those patients looking for dis-ease prevention strategies or those looking to combine conventional and naturopathic treatments with the aim of minimizing side effects of drugs surgery or conventional treatments At The Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic the Naturopathic Doctor will choose the natural medicines and ther-apies that are safe and effective with the goal of increasing your health and decreas-ing harmful side effects Their team is eager to continue helping patients with a natural lifestyle friendly approach

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

The Risk of Loaning Your VehicleDID YOU KNOW THAT LENDING YOUR CAR ALSO MEANS YOU ARE LENDING YOUR INSURANCEDavid Hollingsworth Lawyer

DAVID HOLLINGSWORTH Principal Lawyer and Founder

AS OTTAWA INJURY LAWYERS we hate breaking the news to people about the repercussions of loaning your vehicle Most people donrsquot realize that when you lend your vehicle to someone else and they are involved in a collision and are at-fault your auto insurance policy may be the policy that ultimately pays out for any injuries or damages if a personal injury claim is made In the end this could cost the owner of the vehicle because as we all know insurance rates can increase once a claim is made These costs can range On the lighter side the owner of the vehicle may have to pay a deductible however depending on the circumstances of the accident the owner of the vehicle could be on the hook for a lot more For example if the borrower is in breach of a condition of the insurance policy perhaps their driverrsquos license was expired or perhaps they were charged with distracted driving (texting while driving)

the ownerrsquos insurance company can possi-bly deny insurance coverage If this denial were to occur the owner may personally be responsible for any losses suffered If the accident is serious in nature and someone is seriously injured this could mean that the owner of the vehicle could be respon-sible for hundreds of thousands of dollars or even millions of dollars in compensa-tion In Ontario lending your vehicle to someone else could potentially put you in a vulnerable situation While you may think throwing your buddy the keys to take your car is no big deal our Ottawa injury lawyers caution you to think long and hard about this decision Who knows if your friend might throw their friend the keys Your good standing with your insur-ance company could potentially be at risk should the borrower get into an accident Please exercise caution when lending your vehicle There is so much more at stake

Celebrating 10 Years as Markhamrsquos Best Family Law Firm THE FELDSTEIN FAMILY LAW GROUP HAS BEEN VOTED TOP CHOICE BY CLIENTS

FOR A DECADE

by Louise Byrne

WHATrsquoS HARDER THAN GETTING to the top Staying on top Yet Feldstein Family Law Group has remained on top for 10 years as voted by clients and colleagues

Whether it is hockey tennis or in busi-ness getting to the top is a tough journey But remaining on top is even tougher because competitors have something to shoot at And everyone ups their game So you constantly have to up your game as well

No one understands this better than founder and principal lawyer Andrew Feldstein Whatrsquos his secret sauce ldquoInnovation and bold ideas must go from drawing board to implementation at light-ning speedrdquo says Feldstein

When clients arrive at the Firm they are typically upset and worried about the future of their children as well as their own prospects of building a new life ldquoFamily law is emotional stressful and personal I understand what our clients are going through Irsquom divorced toordquo explains Feldstein

He and his team of lawyers know that their job as lawyers is critical because the outcome of any agreement between sepa-rating spouses or partners will affect them greatlymdashand for years to come

During the 20 years that the Firm has practised family law exclusively Feldstein Family Law Group lawyers have an envi-able record of success settling hundreds of

separations efficiently effectively andmdashif possiblemdashamicably

Being an early adopter of technology Andrew Feldstein built the biggest website in Canada on separation and divorce more than 10 years ago at wwwseparationca Here you will find articles case law blogs FAQs videos and media articles quoting him One of the best tools on the separa-tionca website is a series of articles entitled ldquoRoadmap to Divorcerdquo

ldquoSeparation and divorce are complex As well there is much confusion about rights and responsibilities of wives and husbands as well as common-law spouses I wanted people to have this information for freerdquo says Feldstein

Andrew Feldstein has been blazing trails on the internet ldquoAsk Andrewrdquo is a live-to-the internet monthly show that premiered in October 2015 Viewers can email text or call in their questions about separation divorce custody access support and divi-sion of property (Check wwwseparationca for broadcast details)

ldquoWe believe this is the first show by a lawyer anywhere on the internet And who

doesnrsquot want to talk to a lawyer for freerdquo he quips

Andrew Feldstein devotes a lot of time speaking about family law He is sought out by reporters at The Globe and Mail The National Post and The Toronto Star as an expert commentator He is a regular on Newstalk 1010mdashTorontorsquos largest talk radio stationmdashand is affectionately referred to as ldquotheir family law lawyerrdquo

ldquoStudies show that people with a writ-ten financial plan earn higher returns and have less stress We figured most peo-ple would want those benefitsrdquo says Frank Miemiec VP Operations He is surprised at how many of the firmrsquos new clients donrsquot get this service from their former advisors

or thought what they had was a financial plan but was only an investment policy statement or value projection

Rick Page adds ldquoFew of our competitors offer comprehensive financial planning ser-vices that bring together tax planning cash flow management risk management and investing to ensure that clientsrsquo retirement and estate goals can be achieved in the most effective and tax-efficient way possi-blerdquo He explains that the firmrsquos team-based approach allows them to deliver superior service because they have in-house experts in various fields contributing to the devel-opment of their clientsrsquo plans ldquoWe have a CA and MBAs in house and an extensive network of professionals such as lawyers and mortgage brokers to draw on when our clients donrsquot already have established ser-vice providers in these areasrdquo

Tax-efficiency is one of the main ben-efits of a financial plan Jonathan Flawn a Certified Financial Planner and Pagersquos in-house Chartered Accountant says ldquoTaxes are very complex and most of our clients are not experts in this area Many are not

taking advantage of all the deductions and credits that they could be using and most have not structured their investments to minimize tax exposure We take great care to build the customized financial forecasts needed to support the long-term planning strategies that will reduce our clientsrsquo life-time tax burdenrdquo

If this sounds like the level of service yoursquod want for your own financial planning you can arrange for an Initial Assessment and Evaluation meeting and walk out with a complimentary report Donald Page explains ldquoWe still offer our Initial Assessment on a complimentary basis so that there is no risk for someone looking to find out more about how we can help them in their specific situation Even clients who choose not to engage us as their advisors say they have benefitted by going through this process with usrdquo

Having a mobile optimised website has become essential after Google released an update that will prefer mobile friendly websites Here are some reasons why you should optimise your website for mobile devices Mobile friendliness plays a crucial role in the SEO of your website

If your website is not optimised for mobile then you are going to lose sales Various studies have clearly shown that almost every user will leave your website if itrsquos not optimised for mobile or takes a long time to load

Even Google has rolled out a new update on April 21st 2015 that provides advantages to websites that are mobile friendly So itrsquos quite clear now that if your website isnrsquot mobile friendly or responsive then it will surely lose ranks

Still havenrsquot optimised your website Here are a few reasons why you should have a mobile friendly website

PEOPLE USING MOBILE WANT QUICK SOLUTIONS

People using mobile phones for access-ing internet may have different objectives than desktop users The mobile users are looking for information which is quick

and easy to understand Various research has shown that mobile users tend to make impulse purchases and do more shopping compared to desktop usersThis explains the importance of optimising your web-site for different types of platforms in order to meet consumersrsquo demands By making your website mobile friendly you can ensure that users can make purchases easily

MOBILE RESPONSIVE SITES GENERATE TRAFFIC

With almost half of the web searches being made through mobile the impor-tance of having a mobile website has become just as important as having a web-site Various sources have reported that people are using their Smartphone for surfing the web even when theyrsquore busy doing other work Considering all these reports itrsquos a suitable time to switch to mobile friendly website

BRAND ENGAGEMENTIf you offer a better mobile experi-

ence people will become more fond of your brand enough to return to your website repeatedly Often people view

products on mobile devices and return to the same site on desktops More than 90 people have said that accomplishing a task includes switching between devices or ldquomulti-screeningrdquo You will build trust from your website users if you provide a better experience to them with a mobile friendly site

INCREASED CONVERSIONSWebsites that arenrsquot optimised for

mobile simply fail to convert visitors into buyers The whole layout becomes clumsy and users find it difficult to place any orders

DECREASE IN BOUNCE RATEUsers find it difficult to read a websitersquos

content which isnrsquot optimised for mobile and simply leave the website for another one Thus resulting in an increase in the bounce rate of your site To reduce the bounce rate of your website you need a fully responsive and mobile friendly web-site If you fail to provide a better user experience to your consumers then they might opt for your competitors This will eventually result in degrading your mar-ket value and loss of sales

SOCIAL MEDIA CAN PLAY a great role in shaping your business image so it is important to invest in building a good social media presence Customers now rely on social media to shape their decisions and learn about businesses before making any purchase

With the booming of the web especially after the emergence and spread of social media networks people start to rely on these networks to make their everyday life choices including shopping and purchase decisions For the great impact these online networks have in shaping customersrsquo deci-sions it becomes crucial for an organization to have a neat and significant presence on these networks to maintain a close knit relationship with their present and pro-spective clients

Be it in the physical or virtual world every organization aims at building a good reputation and reflecting a positive image to their customers Online social media plat-forms offer great opportunities to spread the word of mouth about businesses world-wide Thatrsquos why social media networks become one of the important mediums on which brands are built

A new study carried by researchers from Romania and Thailand has highlighted

the impact of social media on a companyrsquos image This case study ldquowas conducted to a 258 respondents having the age between 18 and 41 years oldrdquo To answer the question of how often consumers read or actively take part on discussions initiated in online social networks the study finds that ldquo244 never 2683 sometimes 5122 often and 1951 alwaysrdquo

Researchers also investigated whether or not users on social networks pay ldquomore attention to the online discussion related to the productsservices they are frequently using A whopping 8249 of the respon-dents answered the question positively and confirmed that they ldquoare attentive to this kind of informationrdquo

Social media networks play an impor-tant role in shaping the companyrsquos image and how it is perceived by customers Researchers stated that the study result has given an insightful conclusion that ldquothe companyrsquos image is related to all three con-structions the usersrsquo social influence the organizational promotion and the perceived image in OSN (online social networks)rdquo

Many other studies have stressed on the importance of social media networks for businesses This Research for instance has dealt with the importance of virtual

communities and how they can influence trust of online shoppers As stated by the study ldquovirtual communities offer several advantages to e-tailers and opportunities for the interaction with members of virtual communities consumersrdquo

Another study also tackled the issue and stressed on the importance of social pres-ence and how it affects customersrsquo trust The study stated that ldquosocial presence is a determinant of trust in a retail websiterdquo

In order to build a good relationship with customers and win their trust an online business needs to maintain a good social presence so the customer feels as if they are ldquowith a real vendor This feeling comes from the emotion during the inter-action with the websiterdquo researchers stated

Social media use continues to grow in a significant rate Companies need to take advantage of prospective clients that can be reached by these networks and include social media in their marketing and overall business strategy

As social media has become an impor-tant way to boost business growth and enhance presence in the ever so competi-tive business market any business would be at a competitive disadvantage if they do not have some sort of social media presence

Facing a hearing loss was unexpected and devastating but it has molded me into the Hearing Practitioner I am today Irsquove learned so much from my own experience

I woke up to a hearing loss in my right ear around 11 years ago Working in the field I always thought I would know how to handle a hearing loss of my own if it ever occurred ldquowhen I was olderrdquo I never thought that at 27 I would be facing it My emotions were a kaleidoscope to be honest I was angry embarrassed and afraid

Coming to terms with my own hearing loss has made my life so much easier Situations are not as stressful and I just feel happier It has empowered me to connect with my patients on an entirely new level When we opened Quality Care Hearing it wasnrsquot about prescribing hearing aids it was about making people of all ages who live with hearing loss understand it embrace it and feel confident and happy again

MORE AND MORE PEOPLE are choosing Naturopathy as their preferred method of treatment - and for good rea-son At The Optimum Wellness Clinic we are Edmontonrsquos Top alternative health clinic and are proud to offer Naturopathic treatment and therapies to patients After graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario in 2000 as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine with two clinical excellence awards Dr AJ DeNault founded Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic and has continued to widen the clinicrsquos scope of practice and naturopathic knowledge base Prior to his Naturopathic studies Dr DeNault prac-ticed pharmacy in both Alberta and Ontario for over 25 years This pharmacy back-ground aids in assessing and preventing possible interactions between conventional and natural medicines and treatments that various patients may be taking at various stages of treatment

So what is Naturopathic medicine And who could benefit from it It is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with tradi-tional and natural forms of medicines It is

based on the healing power of nature and it supports and stimulates the bodyrsquos abil-ity to heal itself Natural therapies such as botanical medicine clinical nutrition tra-ditional Chinese medicine and more are used in disease diagnosis treatment and prevention Dr DeNaultrsquos practice-focus includes cancer care with hyperthermia and various IV and injection therapies The other doctors practice-focus includes wom-enrsquos health including fertility pre-natal care and hormone testing children and menrsquos health digestive health and food intoler-ance testing All the practitioners work together with the patient to develop the right strategy and approach for each unique circumstance

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat patients as individuals by addressing the physical environmental lifestyle attitudi-nal and emotional aspects of health This allows NDs to find and treat the cause of disease using natural therapies The goal is to address the cause of the illness rather than simply treating or suppressing the symptoms Both NDs and MDs provide primary care and both are similarly trained The primary difference between the two lies

in the philosophical approach and therapies used Naturopathic medicine can be used to treat all forms of health concerns whether itrsquos pediatric geriatric chronic illness or even psychological Naturopathy is a great option for those patients looking for dis-ease prevention strategies or those looking to combine conventional and naturopathic treatments with the aim of minimizing side effects of drugs surgery or conventional treatments At The Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic the Naturopathic Doctor will choose the natural medicines and ther-apies that are safe and effective with the goal of increasing your health and decreas-ing harmful side effects Their team is eager to continue helping patients with a natural lifestyle friendly approach

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

The Risk of Loaning Your VehicleDID YOU KNOW THAT LENDING YOUR CAR ALSO MEANS YOU ARE LENDING YOUR INSURANCEDavid Hollingsworth Lawyer

DAVID HOLLINGSWORTH Principal Lawyer and Founder

AS OTTAWA INJURY LAWYERS we hate breaking the news to people about the repercussions of loaning your vehicle Most people donrsquot realize that when you lend your vehicle to someone else and they are involved in a collision and are at-fault your auto insurance policy may be the policy that ultimately pays out for any injuries or damages if a personal injury claim is made In the end this could cost the owner of the vehicle because as we all know insurance rates can increase once a claim is made These costs can range On the lighter side the owner of the vehicle may have to pay a deductible however depending on the circumstances of the accident the owner of the vehicle could be on the hook for a lot more For example if the borrower is in breach of a condition of the insurance policy perhaps their driverrsquos license was expired or perhaps they were charged with distracted driving (texting while driving)

the ownerrsquos insurance company can possi-bly deny insurance coverage If this denial were to occur the owner may personally be responsible for any losses suffered If the accident is serious in nature and someone is seriously injured this could mean that the owner of the vehicle could be respon-sible for hundreds of thousands of dollars or even millions of dollars in compensa-tion In Ontario lending your vehicle to someone else could potentially put you in a vulnerable situation While you may think throwing your buddy the keys to take your car is no big deal our Ottawa injury lawyers caution you to think long and hard about this decision Who knows if your friend might throw their friend the keys Your good standing with your insur-ance company could potentially be at risk should the borrower get into an accident Please exercise caution when lending your vehicle There is so much more at stake

Celebrating 10 Years as Markhamrsquos Best Family Law Firm THE FELDSTEIN FAMILY LAW GROUP HAS BEEN VOTED TOP CHOICE BY CLIENTS

FOR A DECADE

by Louise Byrne

WHATrsquoS HARDER THAN GETTING to the top Staying on top Yet Feldstein Family Law Group has remained on top for 10 years as voted by clients and colleagues

Whether it is hockey tennis or in busi-ness getting to the top is a tough journey But remaining on top is even tougher because competitors have something to shoot at And everyone ups their game So you constantly have to up your game as well

No one understands this better than founder and principal lawyer Andrew Feldstein Whatrsquos his secret sauce ldquoInnovation and bold ideas must go from drawing board to implementation at light-ning speedrdquo says Feldstein

When clients arrive at the Firm they are typically upset and worried about the future of their children as well as their own prospects of building a new life ldquoFamily law is emotional stressful and personal I understand what our clients are going through Irsquom divorced toordquo explains Feldstein

He and his team of lawyers know that their job as lawyers is critical because the outcome of any agreement between sepa-rating spouses or partners will affect them greatlymdashand for years to come

During the 20 years that the Firm has practised family law exclusively Feldstein Family Law Group lawyers have an envi-able record of success settling hundreds of

separations efficiently effectively andmdashif possiblemdashamicably

Being an early adopter of technology Andrew Feldstein built the biggest website in Canada on separation and divorce more than 10 years ago at wwwseparationca Here you will find articles case law blogs FAQs videos and media articles quoting him One of the best tools on the separa-tionca website is a series of articles entitled ldquoRoadmap to Divorcerdquo

ldquoSeparation and divorce are complex As well there is much confusion about rights and responsibilities of wives and husbands as well as common-law spouses I wanted people to have this information for freerdquo says Feldstein

Andrew Feldstein has been blazing trails on the internet ldquoAsk Andrewrdquo is a live-to-the internet monthly show that premiered in October 2015 Viewers can email text or call in their questions about separation divorce custody access support and divi-sion of property (Check wwwseparationca for broadcast details)

ldquoWe believe this is the first show by a lawyer anywhere on the internet And who

doesnrsquot want to talk to a lawyer for freerdquo he quips

Andrew Feldstein devotes a lot of time speaking about family law He is sought out by reporters at The Globe and Mail The National Post and The Toronto Star as an expert commentator He is a regular on Newstalk 1010mdashTorontorsquos largest talk radio stationmdashand is affectionately referred to as ldquotheir family law lawyerrdquo

or thought what they had was a financial plan but was only an investment policy statement or value projection

Rick Page adds ldquoFew of our competitors offer comprehensive financial planning ser-vices that bring together tax planning cash flow management risk management and investing to ensure that clientsrsquo retirement and estate goals can be achieved in the most effective and tax-efficient way possi-blerdquo He explains that the firmrsquos team-based approach allows them to deliver superior service because they have in-house experts in various fields contributing to the devel-opment of their clientsrsquo plans ldquoWe have a CA and MBAs in house and an extensive network of professionals such as lawyers and mortgage brokers to draw on when our clients donrsquot already have established ser-vice providers in these areasrdquo

Tax-efficiency is one of the main ben-efits of a financial plan Jonathan Flawn a Certified Financial Planner and Pagersquos in-house Chartered Accountant says ldquoTaxes are very complex and most of our clients are not experts in this area Many are not

taking advantage of all the deductions and credits that they could be using and most have not structured their investments to minimize tax exposure We take great care to build the customized financial forecasts needed to support the long-term planning strategies that will reduce our clientsrsquo life-time tax burdenrdquo

If this sounds like the level of service yoursquod want for your own financial planning you can arrange for an Initial Assessment and Evaluation meeting and walk out with a complimentary report Donald Page explains ldquoWe still offer our Initial Assessment on a complimentary basis so that there is no risk for someone looking to find out more about how we can help them in their specific situation Even clients who choose not to engage us as their advisors say they have benefitted by going through this process with usrdquo

Having a mobile optimised website has become essential after Google released an update that will prefer mobile friendly websites Here are some reasons why you should optimise your website for mobile devices Mobile friendliness plays a crucial role in the SEO of your website

If your website is not optimised for mobile then you are going to lose sales Various studies have clearly shown that almost every user will leave your website if itrsquos not optimised for mobile or takes a long time to load

Even Google has rolled out a new update on April 21st 2015 that provides advantages to websites that are mobile friendly So itrsquos quite clear now that if your website isnrsquot mobile friendly or responsive then it will surely lose ranks

Still havenrsquot optimised your website Here are a few reasons why you should have a mobile friendly website

PEOPLE USING MOBILE WANT QUICK SOLUTIONS

People using mobile phones for access-ing internet may have different objectives than desktop users The mobile users are looking for information which is quick

and easy to understand Various research has shown that mobile users tend to make impulse purchases and do more shopping compared to desktop usersThis explains the importance of optimising your web-site for different types of platforms in order to meet consumersrsquo demands By making your website mobile friendly you can ensure that users can make purchases easily

MOBILE RESPONSIVE SITES GENERATE TRAFFIC

With almost half of the web searches being made through mobile the impor-tance of having a mobile website has become just as important as having a web-site Various sources have reported that people are using their Smartphone for surfing the web even when theyrsquore busy doing other work Considering all these reports itrsquos a suitable time to switch to mobile friendly website

BRAND ENGAGEMENTIf you offer a better mobile experi-

ence people will become more fond of your brand enough to return to your website repeatedly Often people view

products on mobile devices and return to the same site on desktops More than 90 people have said that accomplishing a task includes switching between devices or ldquomulti-screeningrdquo You will build trust from your website users if you provide a better experience to them with a mobile friendly site

INCREASED CONVERSIONSWebsites that arenrsquot optimised for

mobile simply fail to convert visitors into buyers The whole layout becomes clumsy and users find it difficult to place any orders

DECREASE IN BOUNCE RATEUsers find it difficult to read a websitersquos

content which isnrsquot optimised for mobile and simply leave the website for another one Thus resulting in an increase in the bounce rate of your site To reduce the bounce rate of your website you need a fully responsive and mobile friendly web-site If you fail to provide a better user experience to your consumers then they might opt for your competitors This will eventually result in degrading your mar-ket value and loss of sales

SOCIAL MEDIA CAN PLAY a great role in shaping your business image so it is important to invest in building a good social media presence Customers now rely on social media to shape their decisions and learn about businesses before making any purchase

With the booming of the web especially after the emergence and spread of social media networks people start to rely on these networks to make their everyday life choices including shopping and purchase decisions For the great impact these online networks have in shaping customersrsquo deci-sions it becomes crucial for an organization to have a neat and significant presence on these networks to maintain a close knit relationship with their present and pro-spective clients

Be it in the physical or virtual world every organization aims at building a good reputation and reflecting a positive image to their customers Online social media plat-forms offer great opportunities to spread the word of mouth about businesses world-wide Thatrsquos why social media networks become one of the important mediums on which brands are built

A new study carried by researchers from Romania and Thailand has highlighted

the impact of social media on a companyrsquos image This case study ldquowas conducted to a 258 respondents having the age between 18 and 41 years oldrdquo To answer the question of how often consumers read or actively take part on discussions initiated in online social networks the study finds that ldquo244 never 2683 sometimes 5122 often and 1951 alwaysrdquo

Researchers also investigated whether or not users on social networks pay ldquomore attention to the online discussion related to the productsservices they are frequently using A whopping 8249 of the respon-dents answered the question positively and confirmed that they ldquoare attentive to this kind of informationrdquo

Social media networks play an impor-tant role in shaping the companyrsquos image and how it is perceived by customers Researchers stated that the study result has given an insightful conclusion that ldquothe companyrsquos image is related to all three con-structions the usersrsquo social influence the organizational promotion and the perceived image in OSN (online social networks)rdquo

Many other studies have stressed on the importance of social media networks for businesses This Research for instance has dealt with the importance of virtual

communities and how they can influence trust of online shoppers As stated by the study ldquovirtual communities offer several advantages to e-tailers and opportunities for the interaction with members of virtual communities consumersrdquo

Another study also tackled the issue and stressed on the importance of social pres-ence and how it affects customersrsquo trust The study stated that ldquosocial presence is a determinant of trust in a retail websiterdquo

In order to build a good relationship with customers and win their trust an online business needs to maintain a good social presence so the customer feels as if they are ldquowith a real vendor This feeling comes from the emotion during the inter-action with the websiterdquo researchers stated

Social media use continues to grow in a significant rate Companies need to take advantage of prospective clients that can be reached by these networks and include social media in their marketing and overall business strategy

As social media has become an impor-tant way to boost business growth and enhance presence in the ever so competi-tive business market any business would be at a competitive disadvantage if they do not have some sort of social media presence

Facing a hearing loss was unexpected and devastating but it has molded me into the Hearing Practitioner I am today Irsquove learned so much from my own experience

I woke up to a hearing loss in my right ear around 11 years ago Working in the field I always thought I would know how to handle a hearing loss of my own if it ever occurred ldquowhen I was olderrdquo I never thought that at 27 I would be facing it My emotions were a kaleidoscope to be honest I was angry embarrassed and afraid

Coming to terms with my own hearing loss has made my life so much easier Situations are not as stressful and I just feel happier It has empowered me to connect with my patients on an entirely new level When we opened Quality Care Hearing it wasnrsquot about prescribing hearing aids it was about making people of all ages who live with hearing loss understand it embrace it and feel confident and happy again

MORE AND MORE PEOPLE are choosing Naturopathy as their preferred method of treatment - and for good rea-son At The Optimum Wellness Clinic we are Edmontonrsquos Top alternative health clinic and are proud to offer Naturopathic treatment and therapies to patients After graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario in 2000 as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine with two clinical excellence awards Dr AJ DeNault founded Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic and has continued to widen the clinicrsquos scope of practice and naturopathic knowledge base Prior to his Naturopathic studies Dr DeNault prac-ticed pharmacy in both Alberta and Ontario for over 25 years This pharmacy back-ground aids in assessing and preventing possible interactions between conventional and natural medicines and treatments that various patients may be taking at various stages of treatment

So what is Naturopathic medicine And who could benefit from it It is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with tradi-tional and natural forms of medicines It is

based on the healing power of nature and it supports and stimulates the bodyrsquos abil-ity to heal itself Natural therapies such as botanical medicine clinical nutrition tra-ditional Chinese medicine and more are used in disease diagnosis treatment and prevention Dr DeNaultrsquos practice-focus includes cancer care with hyperthermia and various IV and injection therapies The other doctors practice-focus includes wom-enrsquos health including fertility pre-natal care and hormone testing children and menrsquos health digestive health and food intoler-ance testing All the practitioners work together with the patient to develop the right strategy and approach for each unique circumstance

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat patients as individuals by addressing the physical environmental lifestyle attitudi-nal and emotional aspects of health This allows NDs to find and treat the cause of disease using natural therapies The goal is to address the cause of the illness rather than simply treating or suppressing the symptoms Both NDs and MDs provide primary care and both are similarly trained The primary difference between the two lies

in the philosophical approach and therapies used Naturopathic medicine can be used to treat all forms of health concerns whether itrsquos pediatric geriatric chronic illness or even psychological Naturopathy is a great option for those patients looking for dis-ease prevention strategies or those looking to combine conventional and naturopathic treatments with the aim of minimizing side effects of drugs surgery or conventional treatments At The Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic the Naturopathic Doctor will choose the natural medicines and ther-apies that are safe and effective with the goal of increasing your health and decreas-ing harmful side effects Their team is eager to continue helping patients with a natural lifestyle friendly approach

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

Celebrating 10 Years as Markhamrsquos Best Family Law Firm THE FELDSTEIN FAMILY LAW GROUP HAS BEEN VOTED TOP CHOICE BY CLIENTS

FOR A DECADE

by Louise Byrne

WHATrsquoS HARDER THAN GETTING to the top Staying on top Yet Feldstein Family Law Group has remained on top for 10 years as voted by clients and colleagues

Whether it is hockey tennis or in busi-ness getting to the top is a tough journey But remaining on top is even tougher because competitors have something to shoot at And everyone ups their game So you constantly have to up your game as well

No one understands this better than founder and principal lawyer Andrew Feldstein Whatrsquos his secret sauce ldquoInnovation and bold ideas must go from drawing board to implementation at light-ning speedrdquo says Feldstein

When clients arrive at the Firm they are typically upset and worried about the future of their children as well as their own prospects of building a new life ldquoFamily law is emotional stressful and personal I understand what our clients are going through Irsquom divorced toordquo explains Feldstein

He and his team of lawyers know that their job as lawyers is critical because the outcome of any agreement between sepa-rating spouses or partners will affect them greatlymdashand for years to come

During the 20 years that the Firm has practised family law exclusively Feldstein Family Law Group lawyers have an envi-able record of success settling hundreds of

separations efficiently effectively andmdashif possiblemdashamicably

Being an early adopter of technology Andrew Feldstein built the biggest website in Canada on separation and divorce more than 10 years ago at wwwseparationca Here you will find articles case law blogs FAQs videos and media articles quoting him One of the best tools on the separa-tionca website is a series of articles entitled ldquoRoadmap to Divorcerdquo

ldquoSeparation and divorce are complex As well there is much confusion about rights and responsibilities of wives and husbands as well as common-law spouses I wanted people to have this information for freerdquo says Feldstein

Andrew Feldstein has been blazing trails on the internet ldquoAsk Andrewrdquo is a live-to-the internet monthly show that premiered in October 2015 Viewers can email text or call in their questions about separation divorce custody access support and divi-sion of property (Check wwwseparationca for broadcast details)

ldquoWe believe this is the first show by a lawyer anywhere on the internet And who

doesnrsquot want to talk to a lawyer for freerdquo he quips

Andrew Feldstein devotes a lot of time speaking about family law He is sought out by reporters at The Globe and Mail The National Post and The Toronto Star as an expert commentator He is a regular on Newstalk 1010mdashTorontorsquos largest talk radio stationmdashand is affectionately referred to as ldquotheir family law lawyerrdquo

Rick Page adds ldquoFew of our competitors offer comprehensive financial planning ser-vices that bring together tax planning cash flow management risk management and investing to ensure that clientsrsquo retirement and estate goals can be achieved in the most effective and tax-efficient way possi-blerdquo He explains that the firmrsquos team-based approach allows them to deliver superior service because they have in-house experts in various fields contributing to the devel-opment of their clientsrsquo plans ldquoWe have a CA and MBAs in house and an extensive network of professionals such as lawyers and mortgage brokers to draw on when our clients donrsquot already have established ser-vice providers in these areasrdquo

Tax-efficiency is one of the main ben-efits of a financial plan Jonathan Flawn a Certified Financial Planner and Pagersquos in-house Chartered Accountant says ldquoTaxes are very complex and most of our clients are not experts in this area Many are not

taking advantage of all the deductions and credits that they could be using and most have not structured their investments to minimize tax exposure We take great care to build the customized financial forecasts needed to support the long-term planning strategies that will reduce our clientsrsquo life-time tax burdenrdquo

If this sounds like the level of service yoursquod want for your own financial planning you can arrange for an Initial Assessment and Evaluation meeting and walk out with a complimentary report Donald Page explains ldquoWe still offer our Initial Assessment on a complimentary basis so that there is no risk for someone looking to find out more about how we can help them in their specific situation Even clients who choose not to engage us as their advisors say they have benefitted by going through this process with usrdquo

Having a mobile optimised website has become essential after Google released an update that will prefer mobile friendly websites Here are some reasons why you should optimise your website for mobile devices Mobile friendliness plays a crucial role in the SEO of your website

If your website is not optimised for mobile then you are going to lose sales Various studies have clearly shown that almost every user will leave your website if itrsquos not optimised for mobile or takes a long time to load

Even Google has rolled out a new update on April 21st 2015 that provides advantages to websites that are mobile friendly So itrsquos quite clear now that if your website isnrsquot mobile friendly or responsive then it will surely lose ranks

Still havenrsquot optimised your website Here are a few reasons why you should have a mobile friendly website

PEOPLE USING MOBILE WANT QUICK SOLUTIONS

People using mobile phones for access-ing internet may have different objectives than desktop users The mobile users are looking for information which is quick

and easy to understand Various research has shown that mobile users tend to make impulse purchases and do more shopping compared to desktop usersThis explains the importance of optimising your web-site for different types of platforms in order to meet consumersrsquo demands By making your website mobile friendly you can ensure that users can make purchases easily

MOBILE RESPONSIVE SITES GENERATE TRAFFIC

With almost half of the web searches being made through mobile the impor-tance of having a mobile website has become just as important as having a web-site Various sources have reported that people are using their Smartphone for surfing the web even when theyrsquore busy doing other work Considering all these reports itrsquos a suitable time to switch to mobile friendly website

BRAND ENGAGEMENTIf you offer a better mobile experi-

ence people will become more fond of your brand enough to return to your website repeatedly Often people view

products on mobile devices and return to the same site on desktops More than 90 people have said that accomplishing a task includes switching between devices or ldquomulti-screeningrdquo You will build trust from your website users if you provide a better experience to them with a mobile friendly site

INCREASED CONVERSIONSWebsites that arenrsquot optimised for

mobile simply fail to convert visitors into buyers The whole layout becomes clumsy and users find it difficult to place any orders

DECREASE IN BOUNCE RATEUsers find it difficult to read a websitersquos

content which isnrsquot optimised for mobile and simply leave the website for another one Thus resulting in an increase in the bounce rate of your site To reduce the bounce rate of your website you need a fully responsive and mobile friendly web-site If you fail to provide a better user experience to your consumers then they might opt for your competitors This will eventually result in degrading your mar-ket value and loss of sales

SOCIAL MEDIA CAN PLAY a great role in shaping your business image so it is important to invest in building a good social media presence Customers now rely on social media to shape their decisions and learn about businesses before making any purchase

With the booming of the web especially after the emergence and spread of social media networks people start to rely on these networks to make their everyday life choices including shopping and purchase decisions For the great impact these online networks have in shaping customersrsquo deci-sions it becomes crucial for an organization to have a neat and significant presence on these networks to maintain a close knit relationship with their present and pro-spective clients

Be it in the physical or virtual world every organization aims at building a good reputation and reflecting a positive image to their customers Online social media plat-forms offer great opportunities to spread the word of mouth about businesses world-wide Thatrsquos why social media networks become one of the important mediums on which brands are built

A new study carried by researchers from Romania and Thailand has highlighted

the impact of social media on a companyrsquos image This case study ldquowas conducted to a 258 respondents having the age between 18 and 41 years oldrdquo To answer the question of how often consumers read or actively take part on discussions initiated in online social networks the study finds that ldquo244 never 2683 sometimes 5122 often and 1951 alwaysrdquo

Researchers also investigated whether or not users on social networks pay ldquomore attention to the online discussion related to the productsservices they are frequently using A whopping 8249 of the respon-dents answered the question positively and confirmed that they ldquoare attentive to this kind of informationrdquo

Social media networks play an impor-tant role in shaping the companyrsquos image and how it is perceived by customers Researchers stated that the study result has given an insightful conclusion that ldquothe companyrsquos image is related to all three con-structions the usersrsquo social influence the organizational promotion and the perceived image in OSN (online social networks)rdquo

Many other studies have stressed on the importance of social media networks for businesses This Research for instance has dealt with the importance of virtual

communities and how they can influence trust of online shoppers As stated by the study ldquovirtual communities offer several advantages to e-tailers and opportunities for the interaction with members of virtual communities consumersrdquo

Another study also tackled the issue and stressed on the importance of social pres-ence and how it affects customersrsquo trust The study stated that ldquosocial presence is a determinant of trust in a retail websiterdquo

In order to build a good relationship with customers and win their trust an online business needs to maintain a good social presence so the customer feels as if they are ldquowith a real vendor This feeling comes from the emotion during the inter-action with the websiterdquo researchers stated

Social media use continues to grow in a significant rate Companies need to take advantage of prospective clients that can be reached by these networks and include social media in their marketing and overall business strategy

As social media has become an impor-tant way to boost business growth and enhance presence in the ever so competi-tive business market any business would be at a competitive disadvantage if they do not have some sort of social media presence

Facing a hearing loss was unexpected and devastating but it has molded me into the Hearing Practitioner I am today Irsquove learned so much from my own experience

I woke up to a hearing loss in my right ear around 11 years ago Working in the field I always thought I would know how to handle a hearing loss of my own if it ever occurred ldquowhen I was olderrdquo I never thought that at 27 I would be facing it My emotions were a kaleidoscope to be honest I was angry embarrassed and afraid

Coming to terms with my own hearing loss has made my life so much easier Situations are not as stressful and I just feel happier It has empowered me to connect with my patients on an entirely new level When we opened Quality Care Hearing it wasnrsquot about prescribing hearing aids it was about making people of all ages who live with hearing loss understand it embrace it and feel confident and happy again

MORE AND MORE PEOPLE are choosing Naturopathy as their preferred method of treatment - and for good rea-son At The Optimum Wellness Clinic we are Edmontonrsquos Top alternative health clinic and are proud to offer Naturopathic treatment and therapies to patients After graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario in 2000 as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine with two clinical excellence awards Dr AJ DeNault founded Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic and has continued to widen the clinicrsquos scope of practice and naturopathic knowledge base Prior to his Naturopathic studies Dr DeNault prac-ticed pharmacy in both Alberta and Ontario for over 25 years This pharmacy back-ground aids in assessing and preventing possible interactions between conventional and natural medicines and treatments that various patients may be taking at various stages of treatment

So what is Naturopathic medicine And who could benefit from it It is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with tradi-tional and natural forms of medicines It is

based on the healing power of nature and it supports and stimulates the bodyrsquos abil-ity to heal itself Natural therapies such as botanical medicine clinical nutrition tra-ditional Chinese medicine and more are used in disease diagnosis treatment and prevention Dr DeNaultrsquos practice-focus includes cancer care with hyperthermia and various IV and injection therapies The other doctors practice-focus includes wom-enrsquos health including fertility pre-natal care and hormone testing children and menrsquos health digestive health and food intoler-ance testing All the practitioners work together with the patient to develop the right strategy and approach for each unique circumstance

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat patients as individuals by addressing the physical environmental lifestyle attitudi-nal and emotional aspects of health This allows NDs to find and treat the cause of disease using natural therapies The goal is to address the cause of the illness rather than simply treating or suppressing the symptoms Both NDs and MDs provide primary care and both are similarly trained The primary difference between the two lies

in the philosophical approach and therapies used Naturopathic medicine can be used to treat all forms of health concerns whether itrsquos pediatric geriatric chronic illness or even psychological Naturopathy is a great option for those patients looking for dis-ease prevention strategies or those looking to combine conventional and naturopathic treatments with the aim of minimizing side effects of drugs surgery or conventional treatments At The Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic the Naturopathic Doctor will choose the natural medicines and ther-apies that are safe and effective with the goal of increasing your health and decreas-ing harmful side effects Their team is eager to continue helping patients with a natural lifestyle friendly approach

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

Celebrating 10 Years as Markhamrsquos Best Family Law Firm THE FELDSTEIN FAMILY LAW GROUP HAS BEEN VOTED TOP CHOICE BY CLIENTS

FOR A DECADE

by Louise Byrne

WHATrsquoS HARDER THAN GETTING to the top Staying on top Yet Feldstein Family Law Group has remained on top for 10 years as voted by clients and colleagues

Whether it is hockey tennis or in busi-ness getting to the top is a tough journey But remaining on top is even tougher because competitors have something to shoot at And everyone ups their game So you constantly have to up your game as well

No one understands this better than founder and principal lawyer Andrew Feldstein Whatrsquos his secret sauce ldquoInnovation and bold ideas must go from drawing board to implementation at light-ning speedrdquo says Feldstein

When clients arrive at the Firm they are typically upset and worried about the future of their children as well as their own prospects of building a new life ldquoFamily law is emotional stressful and personal I understand what our clients are going through Irsquom divorced toordquo explains Feldstein

He and his team of lawyers know that their job as lawyers is critical because the outcome of any agreement between sepa-rating spouses or partners will affect them greatlymdashand for years to come

During the 20 years that the Firm has practised family law exclusively Feldstein Family Law Group lawyers have an envi-able record of success settling hundreds of

separations efficiently effectively andmdashif possiblemdashamicably

Being an early adopter of technology Andrew Feldstein built the biggest website in Canada on separation and divorce more than 10 years ago at wwwseparationca Here you will find articles case law blogs FAQs videos and media articles quoting him One of the best tools on the separa-tionca website is a series of articles entitled ldquoRoadmap to Divorcerdquo

ldquoSeparation and divorce are complex As well there is much confusion about rights and responsibilities of wives and husbands as well as common-law spouses I wanted people to have this information for freerdquo says Feldstein

Andrew Feldstein has been blazing trails on the internet ldquoAsk Andrewrdquo is a live-to-the internet monthly show that premiered in October 2015 Viewers can email text or call in their questions about separation divorce custody access support and divi-sion of property (Check wwwseparationca for broadcast details)

ldquoWe believe this is the first show by a lawyer anywhere on the internet And who

doesnrsquot want to talk to a lawyer for freerdquo he quips

Andrew Feldstein devotes a lot of time speaking about family law He is sought out by reporters at The Globe and Mail The National Post and The Toronto Star as an expert commentator He is a regular on Newstalk 1010mdashTorontorsquos largest talk radio stationmdashand is affectionately referred to as ldquotheir family law lawyerrdquo

or thought what they had was a financial plan but was only an investment policy statement or value projection

Rick Page adds ldquoFew of our competitors offer comprehensive financial planning ser-vices that bring together tax planning cash flow management risk management and investing to ensure that clientsrsquo retirement and estate goals can be achieved in the most effective and tax-efficient way possi-blerdquo He explains that the firmrsquos team-based approach allows them to deliver superior service because they have in-house experts in various fields contributing to the devel-opment of their clientsrsquo plans ldquoWe have a CA and MBAs in house and an extensive network of professionals such as lawyers and mortgage brokers to draw on when our clients donrsquot already have established ser-vice providers in these areasrdquo

Tax-efficiency is one of the main ben-efits of a financial plan Jonathan Flawn a Certified Financial Planner and Pagersquos in-house Chartered Accountant says ldquoTaxes are very complex and most of our clients are not experts in this area Many are not

taking advantage of all the deductions and credits that they could be using and most have not structured their investments to minimize tax exposure We take great care to build the customized financial forecasts needed to support the long-term planning strategies that will reduce our clientsrsquo life-time tax burdenrdquo

If this sounds like the level of service yoursquod want for your own financial planning you can arrange for an Initial Assessment and Evaluation meeting and walk out with a complimentary report Donald Page explains ldquoWe still offer our Initial Assessment on a complimentary basis so that there is no risk for someone looking to find out more about how we can help them in their specific situation Even clients who choose not to engage us as their advisors say they have benefitted by going through this process with usrdquo

Having a mobile optimised website has become essential after Google released an update that will prefer mobile friendly websites Here are some reasons why you should optimise your website for mobile devices Mobile friendliness plays a crucial role in the SEO of your website

If your website is not optimised for mobile then you are going to lose sales Various studies have clearly shown that almost every user will leave your website if itrsquos not optimised for mobile or takes a long time to load

Even Google has rolled out a new update on April 21st 2015 that provides advantages to websites that are mobile friendly So itrsquos quite clear now that if your website isnrsquot mobile friendly or responsive then it will surely lose ranks

Still havenrsquot optimised your website Here are a few reasons why you should have a mobile friendly website

PEOPLE USING MOBILE WANT QUICK SOLUTIONS

People using mobile phones for access-ing internet may have different objectives than desktop users The mobile users are looking for information which is quick

and easy to understand Various research has shown that mobile users tend to make impulse purchases and do more shopping compared to desktop usersThis explains the importance of optimising your web-site for different types of platforms in order to meet consumersrsquo demands By making your website mobile friendly you can ensure that users can make purchases easily

MOBILE RESPONSIVE SITES GENERATE TRAFFIC

With almost half of the web searches being made through mobile the impor-tance of having a mobile website has become just as important as having a web-site Various sources have reported that people are using their Smartphone for surfing the web even when theyrsquore busy doing other work Considering all these reports itrsquos a suitable time to switch to mobile friendly website

BRAND ENGAGEMENTIf you offer a better mobile experi-

ence people will become more fond of your brand enough to return to your website repeatedly Often people view

products on mobile devices and return to the same site on desktops More than 90 people have said that accomplishing a task includes switching between devices or ldquomulti-screeningrdquo You will build trust from your website users if you provide a better experience to them with a mobile friendly site

INCREASED CONVERSIONSWebsites that arenrsquot optimised for

mobile simply fail to convert visitors into buyers The whole layout becomes clumsy and users find it difficult to place any orders

DECREASE IN BOUNCE RATEUsers find it difficult to read a websitersquos

content which isnrsquot optimised for mobile and simply leave the website for another one Thus resulting in an increase in the bounce rate of your site To reduce the bounce rate of your website you need a fully responsive and mobile friendly web-site If you fail to provide a better user experience to your consumers then they might opt for your competitors This will eventually result in degrading your mar-ket value and loss of sales

SOCIAL MEDIA CAN PLAY a great role in shaping your business image so it is important to invest in building a good social media presence Customers now rely on social media to shape their decisions and learn about businesses before making any purchase

With the booming of the web especially after the emergence and spread of social media networks people start to rely on these networks to make their everyday life choices including shopping and purchase decisions For the great impact these online networks have in shaping customersrsquo deci-sions it becomes crucial for an organization to have a neat and significant presence on these networks to maintain a close knit relationship with their present and pro-spective clients

Be it in the physical or virtual world every organization aims at building a good reputation and reflecting a positive image to their customers Online social media plat-forms offer great opportunities to spread the word of mouth about businesses world-wide Thatrsquos why social media networks become one of the important mediums on which brands are built

A new study carried by researchers from Romania and Thailand has highlighted

the impact of social media on a companyrsquos image This case study ldquowas conducted to a 258 respondents having the age between 18 and 41 years oldrdquo To answer the question of how often consumers read or actively take part on discussions initiated in online social networks the study finds that ldquo244 never 2683 sometimes 5122 often and 1951 alwaysrdquo

Researchers also investigated whether or not users on social networks pay ldquomore attention to the online discussion related to the productsservices they are frequently using A whopping 8249 of the respon-dents answered the question positively and confirmed that they ldquoare attentive to this kind of informationrdquo

Social media networks play an impor-tant role in shaping the companyrsquos image and how it is perceived by customers Researchers stated that the study result has given an insightful conclusion that ldquothe companyrsquos image is related to all three con-structions the usersrsquo social influence the organizational promotion and the perceived image in OSN (online social networks)rdquo

Many other studies have stressed on the importance of social media networks for businesses This Research for instance has dealt with the importance of virtual

communities and how they can influence trust of online shoppers As stated by the study ldquovirtual communities offer several advantages to e-tailers and opportunities for the interaction with members of virtual communities consumersrdquo

Another study also tackled the issue and stressed on the importance of social pres-ence and how it affects customersrsquo trust The study stated that ldquosocial presence is a determinant of trust in a retail websiterdquo

In order to build a good relationship with customers and win their trust an online business needs to maintain a good social presence so the customer feels as if they are ldquowith a real vendor This feeling comes from the emotion during the inter-action with the websiterdquo researchers stated

Social media use continues to grow in a significant rate Companies need to take advantage of prospective clients that can be reached by these networks and include social media in their marketing and overall business strategy

As social media has become an impor-tant way to boost business growth and enhance presence in the ever so competi-tive business market any business would be at a competitive disadvantage if they do not have some sort of social media presence

Facing a hearing loss was unexpected and devastating but it has molded me into the Hearing Practitioner I am today Irsquove learned so much from my own experience

I woke up to a hearing loss in my right ear around 11 years ago Working in the field I always thought I would know how to handle a hearing loss of my own if it ever occurred ldquowhen I was olderrdquo I never thought that at 27 I would be facing it My emotions were a kaleidoscope to be honest I was angry embarrassed and afraid

Coming to terms with my own hearing loss has made my life so much easier Situations are not as stressful and I just feel happier It has empowered me to connect with my patients on an entirely new level When we opened Quality Care Hearing it wasnrsquot about prescribing hearing aids it was about making people of all ages who live with hearing loss understand it embrace it and feel confident and happy again

MORE AND MORE PEOPLE are choosing Naturopathy as their preferred method of treatment - and for good rea-son At The Optimum Wellness Clinic we are Edmontonrsquos Top alternative health clinic and are proud to offer Naturopathic treatment and therapies to patients After graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario in 2000 as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine with two clinical excellence awards Dr AJ DeNault founded Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic and has continued to widen the clinicrsquos scope of practice and naturopathic knowledge base Prior to his Naturopathic studies Dr DeNault prac-ticed pharmacy in both Alberta and Ontario for over 25 years This pharmacy back-ground aids in assessing and preventing possible interactions between conventional and natural medicines and treatments that various patients may be taking at various stages of treatment

So what is Naturopathic medicine And who could benefit from it It is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with tradi-tional and natural forms of medicines It is

based on the healing power of nature and it supports and stimulates the bodyrsquos abil-ity to heal itself Natural therapies such as botanical medicine clinical nutrition tra-ditional Chinese medicine and more are used in disease diagnosis treatment and prevention Dr DeNaultrsquos practice-focus includes cancer care with hyperthermia and various IV and injection therapies The other doctors practice-focus includes wom-enrsquos health including fertility pre-natal care and hormone testing children and menrsquos health digestive health and food intoler-ance testing All the practitioners work together with the patient to develop the right strategy and approach for each unique circumstance

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat patients as individuals by addressing the physical environmental lifestyle attitudi-nal and emotional aspects of health This allows NDs to find and treat the cause of disease using natural therapies The goal is to address the cause of the illness rather than simply treating or suppressing the symptoms Both NDs and MDs provide primary care and both are similarly trained The primary difference between the two lies

in the philosophical approach and therapies used Naturopathic medicine can be used to treat all forms of health concerns whether itrsquos pediatric geriatric chronic illness or even psychological Naturopathy is a great option for those patients looking for dis-ease prevention strategies or those looking to combine conventional and naturopathic treatments with the aim of minimizing side effects of drugs surgery or conventional treatments At The Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic the Naturopathic Doctor will choose the natural medicines and ther-apies that are safe and effective with the goal of increasing your health and decreas-ing harmful side effects Their team is eager to continue helping patients with a natural lifestyle friendly approach

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

TUCKED AWAY IN A glass tower in Richmond Hill is a small private wealth management firm that wrote the book on financial planning Page and Associates Ltd was founded 30 years ago by John A Page a pioneer in the delivery of profes-sional financial planning services The firmrsquos client service process was devel-oped and refined over many years and is the basis for much of the Advocis Best Practices Manual used by thousands of financial professionals across Canada

ldquoStudies show that people with a writ-ten financial plan earn higher returns and have less stress We figured most peo-ple would want those benefitsrdquo says Frank Miemiec VP Operations He is surprised at how many of the firmrsquos new clients donrsquot get this service from their former advisors

or thought what they had was a financial plan but was only an investment policy statement or value projection

Rick Page adds ldquoFew of our competitors offer comprehensive financial planning ser-vices that bring together tax planning cash flow management risk management and investing to ensure that clientsrsquo retirement and estate goals can be achieved in the most effective and tax-efficient way possi-blerdquo He explains that the firmrsquos team-based approach allows them to deliver superior service because they have in-house experts in various fields contributing to the devel-opment of their clientsrsquo plans ldquoWe have a CA and MBAs in house and an extensive network of professionals such as lawyers and mortgage brokers to draw on when our clients donrsquot already have established ser-vice providers in these areasrdquo

Tax-efficiency is one of the main ben-efits of a financial plan Jonathan Flawn a Certified Financial Planner and Pagersquos in-house Chartered Accountant says ldquoTaxes are very complex and most of our clients are not experts in this area Many are not

taking advantage of all the deductions and credits that they could be using and most have not structured their investments to minimize tax exposure We take great care to build the customized financial forecasts needed to support the long-term planning strategies that will reduce our clientsrsquo life-time tax burdenrdquo

If this sounds like the level of service yoursquod want for your own financial planning you can arrange for an Initial Assessment and Evaluation meeting and walk out with a complimentary report Donald Page explains ldquoWe still offer our Initial Assessment on a complimentary basis so that there is no risk for someone looking to find out more about how we can help them in their specific situation Even clients who choose not to engage us as their advisors say they have benefitted by going through this process with usrdquo

Having a mobile optimised website has become essential after Google released an update that will prefer mobile friendly websites Here are some reasons why you should optimise your website for mobile devices Mobile friendliness plays a crucial role in the SEO of your website

If your website is not optimised for mobile then you are going to lose sales Various studies have clearly shown that almost every user will leave your website if itrsquos not optimised for mobile or takes a long time to load

Even Google has rolled out a new update on April 21st 2015 that provides advantages to websites that are mobile friendly So itrsquos quite clear now that if your website isnrsquot mobile friendly or responsive then it will surely lose ranks

Still havenrsquot optimised your website Here are a few reasons why you should have a mobile friendly website

PEOPLE USING MOBILE WANT QUICK SOLUTIONS

People using mobile phones for access-ing internet may have different objectives than desktop users The mobile users are looking for information which is quick

and easy to understand Various research has shown that mobile users tend to make impulse purchases and do more shopping compared to desktop usersThis explains the importance of optimising your web-site for different types of platforms in order to meet consumersrsquo demands By making your website mobile friendly you can ensure that users can make purchases easily

MOBILE RESPONSIVE SITES GENERATE TRAFFIC

With almost half of the web searches being made through mobile the impor-tance of having a mobile website has become just as important as having a web-site Various sources have reported that people are using their Smartphone for surfing the web even when theyrsquore busy doing other work Considering all these reports itrsquos a suitable time to switch to mobile friendly website

BRAND ENGAGEMENTIf you offer a better mobile experi-

ence people will become more fond of your brand enough to return to your website repeatedly Often people view

products on mobile devices and return to the same site on desktops More than 90 people have said that accomplishing a task includes switching between devices or ldquomulti-screeningrdquo You will build trust from your website users if you provide a better experience to them with a mobile friendly site

INCREASED CONVERSIONSWebsites that arenrsquot optimised for

mobile simply fail to convert visitors into buyers The whole layout becomes clumsy and users find it difficult to place any orders

DECREASE IN BOUNCE RATEUsers find it difficult to read a websitersquos

content which isnrsquot optimised for mobile and simply leave the website for another one Thus resulting in an increase in the bounce rate of your site To reduce the bounce rate of your website you need a fully responsive and mobile friendly web-site If you fail to provide a better user experience to your consumers then they might opt for your competitors This will eventually result in degrading your mar-ket value and loss of sales

SOCIAL MEDIA CAN PLAY a great role in shaping your business image so it is important to invest in building a good social media presence Customers now rely on social media to shape their decisions and learn about businesses before making any purchase

With the booming of the web especially after the emergence and spread of social media networks people start to rely on these networks to make their everyday life choices including shopping and purchase decisions For the great impact these online networks have in shaping customersrsquo deci-sions it becomes crucial for an organization to have a neat and significant presence on these networks to maintain a close knit relationship with their present and pro-spective clients

Be it in the physical or virtual world every organization aims at building a good reputation and reflecting a positive image to their customers Online social media plat-forms offer great opportunities to spread the word of mouth about businesses world-wide Thatrsquos why social media networks become one of the important mediums on which brands are built

A new study carried by researchers from Romania and Thailand has highlighted

the impact of social media on a companyrsquos image This case study ldquowas conducted to a 258 respondents having the age between 18 and 41 years oldrdquo To answer the question of how often consumers read or actively take part on discussions initiated in online social networks the study finds that ldquo244 never 2683 sometimes 5122 often and 1951 alwaysrdquo

Researchers also investigated whether or not users on social networks pay ldquomore attention to the online discussion related to the productsservices they are frequently using A whopping 8249 of the respon-dents answered the question positively and confirmed that they ldquoare attentive to this kind of informationrdquo

Social media networks play an impor-tant role in shaping the companyrsquos image and how it is perceived by customers Researchers stated that the study result has given an insightful conclusion that ldquothe companyrsquos image is related to all three con-structions the usersrsquo social influence the organizational promotion and the perceived image in OSN (online social networks)rdquo

Many other studies have stressed on the importance of social media networks for businesses This Research for instance has dealt with the importance of virtual

communities and how they can influence trust of online shoppers As stated by the study ldquovirtual communities offer several advantages to e-tailers and opportunities for the interaction with members of virtual communities consumersrdquo

Another study also tackled the issue and stressed on the importance of social pres-ence and how it affects customersrsquo trust The study stated that ldquosocial presence is a determinant of trust in a retail websiterdquo

In order to build a good relationship with customers and win their trust an online business needs to maintain a good social presence so the customer feels as if they are ldquowith a real vendor This feeling comes from the emotion during the inter-action with the websiterdquo researchers stated

Social media use continues to grow in a significant rate Companies need to take advantage of prospective clients that can be reached by these networks and include social media in their marketing and overall business strategy

As social media has become an impor-tant way to boost business growth and enhance presence in the ever so competi-tive business market any business would be at a competitive disadvantage if they do not have some sort of social media presence

Facing a hearing loss was unexpected and devastating but it has molded me into the Hearing Practitioner I am today Irsquove learned so much from my own experience

I woke up to a hearing loss in my right ear around 11 years ago Working in the field I always thought I would know how to handle a hearing loss of my own if it ever occurred ldquowhen I was olderrdquo I never thought that at 27 I would be facing it My emotions were a kaleidoscope to be honest I was angry embarrassed and afraid

Coming to terms with my own hearing loss has made my life so much easier Situations are not as stressful and I just feel happier It has empowered me to connect with my patients on an entirely new level When we opened Quality Care Hearing it wasnrsquot about prescribing hearing aids it was about making people of all ages who live with hearing loss understand it embrace it and feel confident and happy again

MORE AND MORE PEOPLE are choosing Naturopathy as their preferred method of treatment - and for good rea-son At The Optimum Wellness Clinic we are Edmontonrsquos Top alternative health clinic and are proud to offer Naturopathic treatment and therapies to patients After graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario in 2000 as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine with two clinical excellence awards Dr AJ DeNault founded Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic and has continued to widen the clinicrsquos scope of practice and naturopathic knowledge base Prior to his Naturopathic studies Dr DeNault prac-ticed pharmacy in both Alberta and Ontario for over 25 years This pharmacy back-ground aids in assessing and preventing possible interactions between conventional and natural medicines and treatments that various patients may be taking at various stages of treatment

So what is Naturopathic medicine And who could benefit from it It is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with tradi-tional and natural forms of medicines It is

based on the healing power of nature and it supports and stimulates the bodyrsquos abil-ity to heal itself Natural therapies such as botanical medicine clinical nutrition tra-ditional Chinese medicine and more are used in disease diagnosis treatment and prevention Dr DeNaultrsquos practice-focus includes cancer care with hyperthermia and various IV and injection therapies The other doctors practice-focus includes wom-enrsquos health including fertility pre-natal care and hormone testing children and menrsquos health digestive health and food intoler-ance testing All the practitioners work together with the patient to develop the right strategy and approach for each unique circumstance

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat patients as individuals by addressing the physical environmental lifestyle attitudi-nal and emotional aspects of health This allows NDs to find and treat the cause of disease using natural therapies The goal is to address the cause of the illness rather than simply treating or suppressing the symptoms Both NDs and MDs provide primary care and both are similarly trained The primary difference between the two lies

in the philosophical approach and therapies used Naturopathic medicine can be used to treat all forms of health concerns whether itrsquos pediatric geriatric chronic illness or even psychological Naturopathy is a great option for those patients looking for dis-ease prevention strategies or those looking to combine conventional and naturopathic treatments with the aim of minimizing side effects of drugs surgery or conventional treatments At The Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic the Naturopathic Doctor will choose the natural medicines and ther-apies that are safe and effective with the goal of increasing your health and decreas-ing harmful side effects Their team is eager to continue helping patients with a natural lifestyle friendly approach

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

Tax-efficiency is one of the main ben-efits of a financial plan Jonathan Flawn a Certified Financial Planner and Pagersquos in-house Chartered Accountant says ldquoTaxes are very complex and most of our clients are not experts in this area Many are not

taking advantage of all the deductions and credits that they could be using and most have not structured their investments to minimize tax exposure We take great care to build the customized financial forecasts needed to support the long-term planning strategies that will reduce our clientsrsquo life-time tax burdenrdquo

If this sounds like the level of service yoursquod want for your own financial planning you can arrange for an Initial Assessment and Evaluation meeting and walk out with a complimentary report Donald Page explains ldquoWe still offer our Initial Assessment on a complimentary basis so that there is no risk for someone looking to find out more about how we can help them in their specific situation Even clients who choose not to engage us as their advisors say they have benefitted by going through this process with usrdquo

Having a mobile optimised website has become essential after Google released an update that will prefer mobile friendly websites Here are some reasons why you should optimise your website for mobile devices Mobile friendliness plays a crucial role in the SEO of your website

If your website is not optimised for mobile then you are going to lose sales Various studies have clearly shown that almost every user will leave your website if itrsquos not optimised for mobile or takes a long time to load

Even Google has rolled out a new update on April 21st 2015 that provides advantages to websites that are mobile friendly So itrsquos quite clear now that if your website isnrsquot mobile friendly or responsive then it will surely lose ranks

Still havenrsquot optimised your website Here are a few reasons why you should have a mobile friendly website

PEOPLE USING MOBILE WANT QUICK SOLUTIONS

People using mobile phones for access-ing internet may have different objectives than desktop users The mobile users are looking for information which is quick

and easy to understand Various research has shown that mobile users tend to make impulse purchases and do more shopping compared to desktop usersThis explains the importance of optimising your web-site for different types of platforms in order to meet consumersrsquo demands By making your website mobile friendly you can ensure that users can make purchases easily

MOBILE RESPONSIVE SITES GENERATE TRAFFIC

With almost half of the web searches being made through mobile the impor-tance of having a mobile website has become just as important as having a web-site Various sources have reported that people are using their Smartphone for surfing the web even when theyrsquore busy doing other work Considering all these reports itrsquos a suitable time to switch to mobile friendly website

BRAND ENGAGEMENTIf you offer a better mobile experi-

ence people will become more fond of your brand enough to return to your website repeatedly Often people view

products on mobile devices and return to the same site on desktops More than 90 people have said that accomplishing a task includes switching between devices or ldquomulti-screeningrdquo You will build trust from your website users if you provide a better experience to them with a mobile friendly site

INCREASED CONVERSIONSWebsites that arenrsquot optimised for

mobile simply fail to convert visitors into buyers The whole layout becomes clumsy and users find it difficult to place any orders

DECREASE IN BOUNCE RATEUsers find it difficult to read a websitersquos

content which isnrsquot optimised for mobile and simply leave the website for another one Thus resulting in an increase in the bounce rate of your site To reduce the bounce rate of your website you need a fully responsive and mobile friendly web-site If you fail to provide a better user experience to your consumers then they might opt for your competitors This will eventually result in degrading your mar-ket value and loss of sales

SOCIAL MEDIA CAN PLAY a great role in shaping your business image so it is important to invest in building a good social media presence Customers now rely on social media to shape their decisions and learn about businesses before making any purchase

With the booming of the web especially after the emergence and spread of social media networks people start to rely on these networks to make their everyday life choices including shopping and purchase decisions For the great impact these online networks have in shaping customersrsquo deci-sions it becomes crucial for an organization to have a neat and significant presence on these networks to maintain a close knit relationship with their present and pro-spective clients

Be it in the physical or virtual world every organization aims at building a good reputation and reflecting a positive image to their customers Online social media plat-forms offer great opportunities to spread the word of mouth about businesses world-wide Thatrsquos why social media networks become one of the important mediums on which brands are built

A new study carried by researchers from Romania and Thailand has highlighted

the impact of social media on a companyrsquos image This case study ldquowas conducted to a 258 respondents having the age between 18 and 41 years oldrdquo To answer the question of how often consumers read or actively take part on discussions initiated in online social networks the study finds that ldquo244 never 2683 sometimes 5122 often and 1951 alwaysrdquo

Researchers also investigated whether or not users on social networks pay ldquomore attention to the online discussion related to the productsservices they are frequently using A whopping 8249 of the respon-dents answered the question positively and confirmed that they ldquoare attentive to this kind of informationrdquo

Social media networks play an impor-tant role in shaping the companyrsquos image and how it is perceived by customers Researchers stated that the study result has given an insightful conclusion that ldquothe companyrsquos image is related to all three con-structions the usersrsquo social influence the organizational promotion and the perceived image in OSN (online social networks)rdquo

Many other studies have stressed on the importance of social media networks for businesses This Research for instance has dealt with the importance of virtual

communities and how they can influence trust of online shoppers As stated by the study ldquovirtual communities offer several advantages to e-tailers and opportunities for the interaction with members of virtual communities consumersrdquo

Another study also tackled the issue and stressed on the importance of social pres-ence and how it affects customersrsquo trust The study stated that ldquosocial presence is a determinant of trust in a retail websiterdquo

In order to build a good relationship with customers and win their trust an online business needs to maintain a good social presence so the customer feels as if they are ldquowith a real vendor This feeling comes from the emotion during the inter-action with the websiterdquo researchers stated

Social media use continues to grow in a significant rate Companies need to take advantage of prospective clients that can be reached by these networks and include social media in their marketing and overall business strategy

As social media has become an impor-tant way to boost business growth and enhance presence in the ever so competi-tive business market any business would be at a competitive disadvantage if they do not have some sort of social media presence

Facing a hearing loss was unexpected and devastating but it has molded me into the Hearing Practitioner I am today Irsquove learned so much from my own experience

I woke up to a hearing loss in my right ear around 11 years ago Working in the field I always thought I would know how to handle a hearing loss of my own if it ever occurred ldquowhen I was olderrdquo I never thought that at 27 I would be facing it My emotions were a kaleidoscope to be honest I was angry embarrassed and afraid

Coming to terms with my own hearing loss has made my life so much easier Situations are not as stressful and I just feel happier It has empowered me to connect with my patients on an entirely new level When we opened Quality Care Hearing it wasnrsquot about prescribing hearing aids it was about making people of all ages who live with hearing loss understand it embrace it and feel confident and happy again

MORE AND MORE PEOPLE are choosing Naturopathy as their preferred method of treatment - and for good rea-son At The Optimum Wellness Clinic we are Edmontonrsquos Top alternative health clinic and are proud to offer Naturopathic treatment and therapies to patients After graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario in 2000 as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine with two clinical excellence awards Dr AJ DeNault founded Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic and has continued to widen the clinicrsquos scope of practice and naturopathic knowledge base Prior to his Naturopathic studies Dr DeNault prac-ticed pharmacy in both Alberta and Ontario for over 25 years This pharmacy back-ground aids in assessing and preventing possible interactions between conventional and natural medicines and treatments that various patients may be taking at various stages of treatment

So what is Naturopathic medicine And who could benefit from it It is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with tradi-tional and natural forms of medicines It is

based on the healing power of nature and it supports and stimulates the bodyrsquos abil-ity to heal itself Natural therapies such as botanical medicine clinical nutrition tra-ditional Chinese medicine and more are used in disease diagnosis treatment and prevention Dr DeNaultrsquos practice-focus includes cancer care with hyperthermia and various IV and injection therapies The other doctors practice-focus includes wom-enrsquos health including fertility pre-natal care and hormone testing children and menrsquos health digestive health and food intoler-ance testing All the practitioners work together with the patient to develop the right strategy and approach for each unique circumstance

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat patients as individuals by addressing the physical environmental lifestyle attitudi-nal and emotional aspects of health This allows NDs to find and treat the cause of disease using natural therapies The goal is to address the cause of the illness rather than simply treating or suppressing the symptoms Both NDs and MDs provide primary care and both are similarly trained The primary difference between the two lies

in the philosophical approach and therapies used Naturopathic medicine can be used to treat all forms of health concerns whether itrsquos pediatric geriatric chronic illness or even psychological Naturopathy is a great option for those patients looking for dis-ease prevention strategies or those looking to combine conventional and naturopathic treatments with the aim of minimizing side effects of drugs surgery or conventional treatments At The Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic the Naturopathic Doctor will choose the natural medicines and ther-apies that are safe and effective with the goal of increasing your health and decreas-ing harmful side effects Their team is eager to continue helping patients with a natural lifestyle friendly approach

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

Having a mobile optimised website has become essential after Google released an update that will prefer mobile friendly websites Here are some reasons why you should optimise your website for mobile devices Mobile friendliness plays a crucial role in the SEO of your website

If your website is not optimised for mobile then you are going to lose sales Various studies have clearly shown that almost every user will leave your website if itrsquos not optimised for mobile or takes a long time to load

Even Google has rolled out a new update on April 21st 2015 that provides advantages to websites that are mobile friendly So itrsquos quite clear now that if your website isnrsquot mobile friendly or responsive then it will surely lose ranks

Still havenrsquot optimised your website Here are a few reasons why you should have a mobile friendly website

PEOPLE USING MOBILE WANT QUICK SOLUTIONS

People using mobile phones for access-ing internet may have different objectives than desktop users The mobile users are looking for information which is quick

and easy to understand Various research has shown that mobile users tend to make impulse purchases and do more shopping compared to desktop usersThis explains the importance of optimising your web-site for different types of platforms in order to meet consumersrsquo demands By making your website mobile friendly you can ensure that users can make purchases easily

MOBILE RESPONSIVE SITES GENERATE TRAFFIC

With almost half of the web searches being made through mobile the impor-tance of having a mobile website has become just as important as having a web-site Various sources have reported that people are using their Smartphone for surfing the web even when theyrsquore busy doing other work Considering all these reports itrsquos a suitable time to switch to mobile friendly website

BRAND ENGAGEMENTIf you offer a better mobile experi-

ence people will become more fond of your brand enough to return to your website repeatedly Often people view

products on mobile devices and return to the same site on desktops More than 90 people have said that accomplishing a task includes switching between devices or ldquomulti-screeningrdquo You will build trust from your website users if you provide a better experience to them with a mobile friendly site

INCREASED CONVERSIONSWebsites that arenrsquot optimised for

mobile simply fail to convert visitors into buyers The whole layout becomes clumsy and users find it difficult to place any orders

DECREASE IN BOUNCE RATEUsers find it difficult to read a websitersquos

content which isnrsquot optimised for mobile and simply leave the website for another one Thus resulting in an increase in the bounce rate of your site To reduce the bounce rate of your website you need a fully responsive and mobile friendly web-site If you fail to provide a better user experience to your consumers then they might opt for your competitors This will eventually result in degrading your mar-ket value and loss of sales

SOCIAL MEDIA CAN PLAY a great role in shaping your business image so it is important to invest in building a good social media presence Customers now rely on social media to shape their decisions and learn about businesses before making any purchase

With the booming of the web especially after the emergence and spread of social media networks people start to rely on these networks to make their everyday life choices including shopping and purchase decisions For the great impact these online networks have in shaping customersrsquo deci-sions it becomes crucial for an organization to have a neat and significant presence on these networks to maintain a close knit relationship with their present and pro-spective clients

Be it in the physical or virtual world every organization aims at building a good reputation and reflecting a positive image to their customers Online social media plat-forms offer great opportunities to spread the word of mouth about businesses world-wide Thatrsquos why social media networks become one of the important mediums on which brands are built

A new study carried by researchers from Romania and Thailand has highlighted

the impact of social media on a companyrsquos image This case study ldquowas conducted to a 258 respondents having the age between 18 and 41 years oldrdquo To answer the question of how often consumers read or actively take part on discussions initiated in online social networks the study finds that ldquo244 never 2683 sometimes 5122 often and 1951 alwaysrdquo

Researchers also investigated whether or not users on social networks pay ldquomore attention to the online discussion related to the productsservices they are frequently using A whopping 8249 of the respon-dents answered the question positively and confirmed that they ldquoare attentive to this kind of informationrdquo

Social media networks play an impor-tant role in shaping the companyrsquos image and how it is perceived by customers Researchers stated that the study result has given an insightful conclusion that ldquothe companyrsquos image is related to all three con-structions the usersrsquo social influence the organizational promotion and the perceived image in OSN (online social networks)rdquo

Many other studies have stressed on the importance of social media networks for businesses This Research for instance has dealt with the importance of virtual

communities and how they can influence trust of online shoppers As stated by the study ldquovirtual communities offer several advantages to e-tailers and opportunities for the interaction with members of virtual communities consumersrdquo

Another study also tackled the issue and stressed on the importance of social pres-ence and how it affects customersrsquo trust The study stated that ldquosocial presence is a determinant of trust in a retail websiterdquo

In order to build a good relationship with customers and win their trust an online business needs to maintain a good social presence so the customer feels as if they are ldquowith a real vendor This feeling comes from the emotion during the inter-action with the websiterdquo researchers stated

Social media use continues to grow in a significant rate Companies need to take advantage of prospective clients that can be reached by these networks and include social media in their marketing and overall business strategy

As social media has become an impor-tant way to boost business growth and enhance presence in the ever so competi-tive business market any business would be at a competitive disadvantage if they do not have some sort of social media presence

Facing a hearing loss was unexpected and devastating but it has molded me into the Hearing Practitioner I am today Irsquove learned so much from my own experience

I woke up to a hearing loss in my right ear around 11 years ago Working in the field I always thought I would know how to handle a hearing loss of my own if it ever occurred ldquowhen I was olderrdquo I never thought that at 27 I would be facing it My emotions were a kaleidoscope to be honest I was angry embarrassed and afraid

Coming to terms with my own hearing loss has made my life so much easier Situations are not as stressful and I just feel happier It has empowered me to connect with my patients on an entirely new level When we opened Quality Care Hearing it wasnrsquot about prescribing hearing aids it was about making people of all ages who live with hearing loss understand it embrace it and feel confident and happy again

MORE AND MORE PEOPLE are choosing Naturopathy as their preferred method of treatment - and for good rea-son At The Optimum Wellness Clinic we are Edmontonrsquos Top alternative health clinic and are proud to offer Naturopathic treatment and therapies to patients After graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario in 2000 as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine with two clinical excellence awards Dr AJ DeNault founded Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic and has continued to widen the clinicrsquos scope of practice and naturopathic knowledge base Prior to his Naturopathic studies Dr DeNault prac-ticed pharmacy in both Alberta and Ontario for over 25 years This pharmacy back-ground aids in assessing and preventing possible interactions between conventional and natural medicines and treatments that various patients may be taking at various stages of treatment

So what is Naturopathic medicine And who could benefit from it It is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with tradi-tional and natural forms of medicines It is

based on the healing power of nature and it supports and stimulates the bodyrsquos abil-ity to heal itself Natural therapies such as botanical medicine clinical nutrition tra-ditional Chinese medicine and more are used in disease diagnosis treatment and prevention Dr DeNaultrsquos practice-focus includes cancer care with hyperthermia and various IV and injection therapies The other doctors practice-focus includes wom-enrsquos health including fertility pre-natal care and hormone testing children and menrsquos health digestive health and food intoler-ance testing All the practitioners work together with the patient to develop the right strategy and approach for each unique circumstance

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat patients as individuals by addressing the physical environmental lifestyle attitudi-nal and emotional aspects of health This allows NDs to find and treat the cause of disease using natural therapies The goal is to address the cause of the illness rather than simply treating or suppressing the symptoms Both NDs and MDs provide primary care and both are similarly trained The primary difference between the two lies

in the philosophical approach and therapies used Naturopathic medicine can be used to treat all forms of health concerns whether itrsquos pediatric geriatric chronic illness or even psychological Naturopathy is a great option for those patients looking for dis-ease prevention strategies or those looking to combine conventional and naturopathic treatments with the aim of minimizing side effects of drugs surgery or conventional treatments At The Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic the Naturopathic Doctor will choose the natural medicines and ther-apies that are safe and effective with the goal of increasing your health and decreas-ing harmful side effects Their team is eager to continue helping patients with a natural lifestyle friendly approach

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

Having a mobile optimised website has become essential after Google released an update that will prefer mobile friendly websites Here are some reasons why you should optimise your website for mobile devices Mobile friendliness plays a crucial role in the SEO of your website

If your website is not optimised for mobile then you are going to lose sales Various studies have clearly shown that almost every user will leave your website if itrsquos not optimised for mobile or takes a long time to load

Even Google has rolled out a new update on April 21st 2015 that provides advantages to websites that are mobile friendly So itrsquos quite clear now that if your website isnrsquot mobile friendly or responsive then it will surely lose ranks

Still havenrsquot optimised your website Here are a few reasons why you should have a mobile friendly website

PEOPLE USING MOBILE WANT QUICK SOLUTIONS

People using mobile phones for access-ing internet may have different objectives than desktop users The mobile users are looking for information which is quick

and easy to understand Various research has shown that mobile users tend to make impulse purchases and do more shopping compared to desktop usersThis explains the importance of optimising your web-site for different types of platforms in order to meet consumersrsquo demands By making your website mobile friendly you can ensure that users can make purchases easily

MOBILE RESPONSIVE SITES GENERATE TRAFFIC

With almost half of the web searches being made through mobile the impor-tance of having a mobile website has become just as important as having a web-site Various sources have reported that people are using their Smartphone for surfing the web even when theyrsquore busy doing other work Considering all these reports itrsquos a suitable time to switch to mobile friendly website

BRAND ENGAGEMENTIf you offer a better mobile experi-

ence people will become more fond of your brand enough to return to your website repeatedly Often people view

products on mobile devices and return to the same site on desktops More than 90 people have said that accomplishing a task includes switching between devices or ldquomulti-screeningrdquo You will build trust from your website users if you provide a better experience to them with a mobile friendly site

INCREASED CONVERSIONSWebsites that arenrsquot optimised for

mobile simply fail to convert visitors into buyers The whole layout becomes clumsy and users find it difficult to place any orders

DECREASE IN BOUNCE RATEUsers find it difficult to read a websitersquos

content which isnrsquot optimised for mobile and simply leave the website for another one Thus resulting in an increase in the bounce rate of your site To reduce the bounce rate of your website you need a fully responsive and mobile friendly web-site If you fail to provide a better user experience to your consumers then they might opt for your competitors This will eventually result in degrading your mar-ket value and loss of sales

SOCIAL MEDIA CAN PLAY a great role in shaping your business image so it is important to invest in building a good social media presence Customers now rely on social media to shape their decisions and learn about businesses before making any purchase

With the booming of the web especially after the emergence and spread of social media networks people start to rely on these networks to make their everyday life choices including shopping and purchase decisions For the great impact these online networks have in shaping customersrsquo deci-sions it becomes crucial for an organization to have a neat and significant presence on these networks to maintain a close knit relationship with their present and pro-spective clients

Be it in the physical or virtual world every organization aims at building a good reputation and reflecting a positive image to their customers Online social media plat-forms offer great opportunities to spread the word of mouth about businesses world-wide Thatrsquos why social media networks become one of the important mediums on which brands are built

A new study carried by researchers from Romania and Thailand has highlighted

the impact of social media on a companyrsquos image This case study ldquowas conducted to a 258 respondents having the age between 18 and 41 years oldrdquo To answer the question of how often consumers read or actively take part on discussions initiated in online social networks the study finds that ldquo244 never 2683 sometimes 5122 often and 1951 alwaysrdquo

Researchers also investigated whether or not users on social networks pay ldquomore attention to the online discussion related to the productsservices they are frequently using A whopping 8249 of the respon-dents answered the question positively and confirmed that they ldquoare attentive to this kind of informationrdquo

Social media networks play an impor-tant role in shaping the companyrsquos image and how it is perceived by customers Researchers stated that the study result has given an insightful conclusion that ldquothe companyrsquos image is related to all three con-structions the usersrsquo social influence the organizational promotion and the perceived image in OSN (online social networks)rdquo

Many other studies have stressed on the importance of social media networks for businesses This Research for instance has dealt with the importance of virtual

communities and how they can influence trust of online shoppers As stated by the study ldquovirtual communities offer several advantages to e-tailers and opportunities for the interaction with members of virtual communities consumersrdquo

Another study also tackled the issue and stressed on the importance of social pres-ence and how it affects customersrsquo trust The study stated that ldquosocial presence is a determinant of trust in a retail websiterdquo

In order to build a good relationship with customers and win their trust an online business needs to maintain a good social presence so the customer feels as if they are ldquowith a real vendor This feeling comes from the emotion during the inter-action with the websiterdquo researchers stated

Social media use continues to grow in a significant rate Companies need to take advantage of prospective clients that can be reached by these networks and include social media in their marketing and overall business strategy

As social media has become an impor-tant way to boost business growth and enhance presence in the ever so competi-tive business market any business would be at a competitive disadvantage if they do not have some sort of social media presence

Facing a hearing loss was unexpected and devastating but it has molded me into the Hearing Practitioner I am today Irsquove learned so much from my own experience

I woke up to a hearing loss in my right ear around 11 years ago Working in the field I always thought I would know how to handle a hearing loss of my own if it ever occurred ldquowhen I was olderrdquo I never thought that at 27 I would be facing it My emotions were a kaleidoscope to be honest I was angry embarrassed and afraid

Coming to terms with my own hearing loss has made my life so much easier Situations are not as stressful and I just feel happier It has empowered me to connect with my patients on an entirely new level When we opened Quality Care Hearing it wasnrsquot about prescribing hearing aids it was about making people of all ages who live with hearing loss understand it embrace it and feel confident and happy again

MORE AND MORE PEOPLE are choosing Naturopathy as their preferred method of treatment - and for good rea-son At The Optimum Wellness Clinic we are Edmontonrsquos Top alternative health clinic and are proud to offer Naturopathic treatment and therapies to patients After graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario in 2000 as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine with two clinical excellence awards Dr AJ DeNault founded Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic and has continued to widen the clinicrsquos scope of practice and naturopathic knowledge base Prior to his Naturopathic studies Dr DeNault prac-ticed pharmacy in both Alberta and Ontario for over 25 years This pharmacy back-ground aids in assessing and preventing possible interactions between conventional and natural medicines and treatments that various patients may be taking at various stages of treatment

So what is Naturopathic medicine And who could benefit from it It is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with tradi-tional and natural forms of medicines It is

based on the healing power of nature and it supports and stimulates the bodyrsquos abil-ity to heal itself Natural therapies such as botanical medicine clinical nutrition tra-ditional Chinese medicine and more are used in disease diagnosis treatment and prevention Dr DeNaultrsquos practice-focus includes cancer care with hyperthermia and various IV and injection therapies The other doctors practice-focus includes wom-enrsquos health including fertility pre-natal care and hormone testing children and menrsquos health digestive health and food intoler-ance testing All the practitioners work together with the patient to develop the right strategy and approach for each unique circumstance

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat patients as individuals by addressing the physical environmental lifestyle attitudi-nal and emotional aspects of health This allows NDs to find and treat the cause of disease using natural therapies The goal is to address the cause of the illness rather than simply treating or suppressing the symptoms Both NDs and MDs provide primary care and both are similarly trained The primary difference between the two lies

in the philosophical approach and therapies used Naturopathic medicine can be used to treat all forms of health concerns whether itrsquos pediatric geriatric chronic illness or even psychological Naturopathy is a great option for those patients looking for dis-ease prevention strategies or those looking to combine conventional and naturopathic treatments with the aim of minimizing side effects of drugs surgery or conventional treatments At The Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic the Naturopathic Doctor will choose the natural medicines and ther-apies that are safe and effective with the goal of increasing your health and decreas-ing harmful side effects Their team is eager to continue helping patients with a natural lifestyle friendly approach

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

Having a mobile optimised website has become essential after Google released an update that will prefer mobile friendly websites Here are some reasons why you should optimise your website for mobile devices Mobile friendliness plays a crucial role in the SEO of your website

If your website is not optimised for mobile then you are going to lose sales Various studies have clearly shown that almost every user will leave your website if itrsquos not optimised for mobile or takes a long time to load

Even Google has rolled out a new update on April 21st 2015 that provides advantages to websites that are mobile friendly So itrsquos quite clear now that if your website isnrsquot mobile friendly or responsive then it will surely lose ranks

Still havenrsquot optimised your website Here are a few reasons why you should have a mobile friendly website

PEOPLE USING MOBILE WANT QUICK SOLUTIONS

People using mobile phones for access-ing internet may have different objectives than desktop users The mobile users are looking for information which is quick

and easy to understand Various research has shown that mobile users tend to make impulse purchases and do more shopping compared to desktop usersThis explains the importance of optimising your web-site for different types of platforms in order to meet consumersrsquo demands By making your website mobile friendly you can ensure that users can make purchases easily

MOBILE RESPONSIVE SITES GENERATE TRAFFIC

With almost half of the web searches being made through mobile the impor-tance of having a mobile website has become just as important as having a web-site Various sources have reported that people are using their Smartphone for surfing the web even when theyrsquore busy doing other work Considering all these reports itrsquos a suitable time to switch to mobile friendly website

BRAND ENGAGEMENTIf you offer a better mobile experi-

ence people will become more fond of your brand enough to return to your website repeatedly Often people view

products on mobile devices and return to the same site on desktops More than 90 people have said that accomplishing a task includes switching between devices or ldquomulti-screeningrdquo You will build trust from your website users if you provide a better experience to them with a mobile friendly site

INCREASED CONVERSIONSWebsites that arenrsquot optimised for

mobile simply fail to convert visitors into buyers The whole layout becomes clumsy and users find it difficult to place any orders

DECREASE IN BOUNCE RATEUsers find it difficult to read a websitersquos

content which isnrsquot optimised for mobile and simply leave the website for another one Thus resulting in an increase in the bounce rate of your site To reduce the bounce rate of your website you need a fully responsive and mobile friendly web-site If you fail to provide a better user experience to your consumers then they might opt for your competitors This will eventually result in degrading your mar-ket value and loss of sales

SOCIAL MEDIA CAN PLAY a great role in shaping your business image so it is important to invest in building a good social media presence Customers now rely on social media to shape their decisions and learn about businesses before making any purchase

With the booming of the web especially after the emergence and spread of social media networks people start to rely on these networks to make their everyday life choices including shopping and purchase decisions For the great impact these online networks have in shaping customersrsquo deci-sions it becomes crucial for an organization to have a neat and significant presence on these networks to maintain a close knit relationship with their present and pro-spective clients

Be it in the physical or virtual world every organization aims at building a good reputation and reflecting a positive image to their customers Online social media plat-forms offer great opportunities to spread the word of mouth about businesses world-wide Thatrsquos why social media networks become one of the important mediums on which brands are built

A new study carried by researchers from Romania and Thailand has highlighted

the impact of social media on a companyrsquos image This case study ldquowas conducted to a 258 respondents having the age between 18 and 41 years oldrdquo To answer the question of how often consumers read or actively take part on discussions initiated in online social networks the study finds that ldquo244 never 2683 sometimes 5122 often and 1951 alwaysrdquo

Researchers also investigated whether or not users on social networks pay ldquomore attention to the online discussion related to the productsservices they are frequently using A whopping 8249 of the respon-dents answered the question positively and confirmed that they ldquoare attentive to this kind of informationrdquo

Social media networks play an impor-tant role in shaping the companyrsquos image and how it is perceived by customers Researchers stated that the study result has given an insightful conclusion that ldquothe companyrsquos image is related to all three con-structions the usersrsquo social influence the organizational promotion and the perceived image in OSN (online social networks)rdquo

Many other studies have stressed on the importance of social media networks for businesses This Research for instance has dealt with the importance of virtual

communities and how they can influence trust of online shoppers As stated by the study ldquovirtual communities offer several advantages to e-tailers and opportunities for the interaction with members of virtual communities consumersrdquo

Another study also tackled the issue and stressed on the importance of social pres-ence and how it affects customersrsquo trust The study stated that ldquosocial presence is a determinant of trust in a retail websiterdquo

In order to build a good relationship with customers and win their trust an online business needs to maintain a good social presence so the customer feels as if they are ldquowith a real vendor This feeling comes from the emotion during the inter-action with the websiterdquo researchers stated

Social media use continues to grow in a significant rate Companies need to take advantage of prospective clients that can be reached by these networks and include social media in their marketing and overall business strategy

As social media has become an impor-tant way to boost business growth and enhance presence in the ever so competi-tive business market any business would be at a competitive disadvantage if they do not have some sort of social media presence

The Academic Pathway Program prepares students to enter Canadian post-secondary institutions and gives them the opportunity to do so without requiring them to take official English skills test such as TOEFL or IELTS This is a great key for students seeking to improve their English skills with the intention of attending col-lege or university in Canada The program familiarizes students with the expectations of post-secondary requirements and pro-vides practice in a variety of areas including essay writing researching and oral presen-tations ILACrsquos team of qualified University and College Placement specialists also aide students in gaining acceptance to the pro-grams best suited to their goals

With the goal of providing life chang-ing experiences ILACrsquos students are proof that their methods lead to success and that

their big dreams are the fuel of the new generation Survey results show that 97 of students would recommend ILAC to a friend further proving that when it comes to preparing students for the future the bar is high and unmatched A number of successful graduates have recognized the importance that the program played in reaching their goals

At its core ILAC employs values that help form lasting relationships with their students Celebrating diversity in all cul-tures and welcoming students of all levels teachers and staff make sure that hon-esty integrity and dedication are ingrained in everything they do ILAC also offers accommodations for interested students Students can choose between apartments and residences located in prime downtown areas steps from amenities and public

transit or homestays where students are able to reside with a homestay family and hone their English skills in a social setting

Facing a hearing loss was unexpected and devastating but it has molded me into the Hearing Practitioner I am today Irsquove learned so much from my own experience

I woke up to a hearing loss in my right ear around 11 years ago Working in the field I always thought I would know how to handle a hearing loss of my own if it ever occurred ldquowhen I was olderrdquo I never thought that at 27 I would be facing it My emotions were a kaleidoscope to be honest I was angry embarrassed and afraid

Coming to terms with my own hearing loss has made my life so much easier Situations are not as stressful and I just feel happier It has empowered me to connect with my patients on an entirely new level When we opened Quality Care Hearing it wasnrsquot about prescribing hearing aids it was about making people of all ages who live with hearing loss understand it embrace it and feel confident and happy again

So what is Naturopathic medicine And who could benefit from it It is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with tradi-tional and natural forms of medicines It is

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat patients as individuals by addressing the physical environmental lifestyle attitudi-nal and emotional aspects of health This allows NDs to find and treat the cause of disease using natural therapies The goal is to address the cause of the illness rather than simply treating or suppressing the symptoms Both NDs and MDs provide primary care and both are similarly trained The primary difference between the two lies

in the philosophical approach and therapies used Naturopathic medicine can be used to treat all forms of health concerns whether itrsquos pediatric geriatric chronic illness or even psychological Naturopathy is a great option for those patients looking for dis-ease prevention strategies or those looking to combine conventional and naturopathic treatments with the aim of minimizing side effects of drugs surgery or conventional treatments At The Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic the Naturopathic Doctor will choose the natural medicines and ther-apies that are safe and effective with the goal of increasing your health and decreas-ing harmful side effects Their team is eager to continue helping patients with a natural lifestyle friendly approach

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

Having a mobile optimised website has become essential after Google released an update that will prefer mobile friendly websites Here are some reasons why you should optimise your website for mobile devices Mobile friendliness plays a crucial role in the SEO of your website

If your website is not optimised for mobile then you are going to lose sales Various studies have clearly shown that almost every user will leave your website if itrsquos not optimised for mobile or takes a long time to load

Even Google has rolled out a new update on April 21st 2015 that provides advantages to websites that are mobile friendly So itrsquos quite clear now that if your website isnrsquot mobile friendly or responsive then it will surely lose ranks

Still havenrsquot optimised your website Here are a few reasons why you should have a mobile friendly website

PEOPLE USING MOBILE WANT QUICK SOLUTIONS

People using mobile phones for access-ing internet may have different objectives than desktop users The mobile users are looking for information which is quick

and easy to understand Various research has shown that mobile users tend to make impulse purchases and do more shopping compared to desktop usersThis explains the importance of optimising your web-site for different types of platforms in order to meet consumersrsquo demands By making your website mobile friendly you can ensure that users can make purchases easily

MOBILE RESPONSIVE SITES GENERATE TRAFFIC

With almost half of the web searches being made through mobile the impor-tance of having a mobile website has become just as important as having a web-site Various sources have reported that people are using their Smartphone for surfing the web even when theyrsquore busy doing other work Considering all these reports itrsquos a suitable time to switch to mobile friendly website

BRAND ENGAGEMENTIf you offer a better mobile experi-

ence people will become more fond of your brand enough to return to your website repeatedly Often people view

products on mobile devices and return to the same site on desktops More than 90 people have said that accomplishing a task includes switching between devices or ldquomulti-screeningrdquo You will build trust from your website users if you provide a better experience to them with a mobile friendly site

INCREASED CONVERSIONSWebsites that arenrsquot optimised for

mobile simply fail to convert visitors into buyers The whole layout becomes clumsy and users find it difficult to place any orders

DECREASE IN BOUNCE RATEUsers find it difficult to read a websitersquos

content which isnrsquot optimised for mobile and simply leave the website for another one Thus resulting in an increase in the bounce rate of your site To reduce the bounce rate of your website you need a fully responsive and mobile friendly web-site If you fail to provide a better user experience to your consumers then they might opt for your competitors This will eventually result in degrading your mar-ket value and loss of sales

SOCIAL MEDIA CAN PLAY a great role in shaping your business image so it is important to invest in building a good social media presence Customers now rely on social media to shape their decisions and learn about businesses before making any purchase

With the booming of the web especially after the emergence and spread of social media networks people start to rely on these networks to make their everyday life choices including shopping and purchase decisions For the great impact these online networks have in shaping customersrsquo deci-sions it becomes crucial for an organization to have a neat and significant presence on these networks to maintain a close knit relationship with their present and pro-spective clients

Be it in the physical or virtual world every organization aims at building a good reputation and reflecting a positive image to their customers Online social media plat-forms offer great opportunities to spread the word of mouth about businesses world-wide Thatrsquos why social media networks become one of the important mediums on which brands are built

A new study carried by researchers from Romania and Thailand has highlighted

the impact of social media on a companyrsquos image This case study ldquowas conducted to a 258 respondents having the age between 18 and 41 years oldrdquo To answer the question of how often consumers read or actively take part on discussions initiated in online social networks the study finds that ldquo244 never 2683 sometimes 5122 often and 1951 alwaysrdquo

Researchers also investigated whether or not users on social networks pay ldquomore attention to the online discussion related to the productsservices they are frequently using A whopping 8249 of the respon-dents answered the question positively and confirmed that they ldquoare attentive to this kind of informationrdquo

Social media networks play an impor-tant role in shaping the companyrsquos image and how it is perceived by customers Researchers stated that the study result has given an insightful conclusion that ldquothe companyrsquos image is related to all three con-structions the usersrsquo social influence the organizational promotion and the perceived image in OSN (online social networks)rdquo

Many other studies have stressed on the importance of social media networks for businesses This Research for instance has dealt with the importance of virtual

communities and how they can influence trust of online shoppers As stated by the study ldquovirtual communities offer several advantages to e-tailers and opportunities for the interaction with members of virtual communities consumersrdquo

Another study also tackled the issue and stressed on the importance of social pres-ence and how it affects customersrsquo trust The study stated that ldquosocial presence is a determinant of trust in a retail websiterdquo

In order to build a good relationship with customers and win their trust an online business needs to maintain a good social presence so the customer feels as if they are ldquowith a real vendor This feeling comes from the emotion during the inter-action with the websiterdquo researchers stated

Social media use continues to grow in a significant rate Companies need to take advantage of prospective clients that can be reached by these networks and include social media in their marketing and overall business strategy

As social media has become an impor-tant way to boost business growth and enhance presence in the ever so competi-tive business market any business would be at a competitive disadvantage if they do not have some sort of social media presence

Facing a hearing loss was unexpected and devastating but it has molded me into the Hearing Practitioner I am today Irsquove learned so much from my own experience

I woke up to a hearing loss in my right ear around 11 years ago Working in the field I always thought I would know how to handle a hearing loss of my own if it ever occurred ldquowhen I was olderrdquo I never thought that at 27 I would be facing it My emotions were a kaleidoscope to be honest I was angry embarrassed and afraid

Coming to terms with my own hearing loss has made my life so much easier Situations are not as stressful and I just feel happier It has empowered me to connect with my patients on an entirely new level When we opened Quality Care Hearing it wasnrsquot about prescribing hearing aids it was about making people of all ages who live with hearing loss understand it embrace it and feel confident and happy again

MORE AND MORE PEOPLE are choosing Naturopathy as their preferred method of treatment - and for good rea-son At The Optimum Wellness Clinic we are Edmontonrsquos Top alternative health clinic and are proud to offer Naturopathic treatment and therapies to patients After graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario in 2000 as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine with two clinical excellence awards Dr AJ DeNault founded Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic and has continued to widen the clinicrsquos scope of practice and naturopathic knowledge base Prior to his Naturopathic studies Dr DeNault prac-ticed pharmacy in both Alberta and Ontario for over 25 years This pharmacy back-ground aids in assessing and preventing possible interactions between conventional and natural medicines and treatments that various patients may be taking at various stages of treatment

So what is Naturopathic medicine And who could benefit from it It is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with tradi-tional and natural forms of medicines It is

based on the healing power of nature and it supports and stimulates the bodyrsquos abil-ity to heal itself Natural therapies such as botanical medicine clinical nutrition tra-ditional Chinese medicine and more are used in disease diagnosis treatment and prevention Dr DeNaultrsquos practice-focus includes cancer care with hyperthermia and various IV and injection therapies The other doctors practice-focus includes wom-enrsquos health including fertility pre-natal care and hormone testing children and menrsquos health digestive health and food intoler-ance testing All the practitioners work together with the patient to develop the right strategy and approach for each unique circumstance

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat patients as individuals by addressing the physical environmental lifestyle attitudi-nal and emotional aspects of health This allows NDs to find and treat the cause of disease using natural therapies The goal is to address the cause of the illness rather than simply treating or suppressing the symptoms Both NDs and MDs provide primary care and both are similarly trained The primary difference between the two lies

in the philosophical approach and therapies used Naturopathic medicine can be used to treat all forms of health concerns whether itrsquos pediatric geriatric chronic illness or even psychological Naturopathy is a great option for those patients looking for dis-ease prevention strategies or those looking to combine conventional and naturopathic treatments with the aim of minimizing side effects of drugs surgery or conventional treatments At The Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic the Naturopathic Doctor will choose the natural medicines and ther-apies that are safe and effective with the goal of increasing your health and decreas-ing harmful side effects Their team is eager to continue helping patients with a natural lifestyle friendly approach

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

Having a mobile optimised website has become essential after Google released an update that will prefer mobile friendly websites Here are some reasons why you should optimise your website for mobile devices Mobile friendliness plays a crucial role in the SEO of your website

If your website is not optimised for mobile then you are going to lose sales Various studies have clearly shown that almost every user will leave your website if itrsquos not optimised for mobile or takes a long time to load

Even Google has rolled out a new update on April 21st 2015 that provides advantages to websites that are mobile friendly So itrsquos quite clear now that if your website isnrsquot mobile friendly or responsive then it will surely lose ranks

Still havenrsquot optimised your website Here are a few reasons why you should have a mobile friendly website

PEOPLE USING MOBILE WANT QUICK SOLUTIONS

People using mobile phones for access-ing internet may have different objectives than desktop users The mobile users are looking for information which is quick

and easy to understand Various research has shown that mobile users tend to make impulse purchases and do more shopping compared to desktop usersThis explains the importance of optimising your web-site for different types of platforms in order to meet consumersrsquo demands By making your website mobile friendly you can ensure that users can make purchases easily

MOBILE RESPONSIVE SITES GENERATE TRAFFIC

With almost half of the web searches being made through mobile the impor-tance of having a mobile website has become just as important as having a web-site Various sources have reported that people are using their Smartphone for surfing the web even when theyrsquore busy doing other work Considering all these reports itrsquos a suitable time to switch to mobile friendly website

BRAND ENGAGEMENTIf you offer a better mobile experi-

ence people will become more fond of your brand enough to return to your website repeatedly Often people view

products on mobile devices and return to the same site on desktops More than 90 people have said that accomplishing a task includes switching between devices or ldquomulti-screeningrdquo You will build trust from your website users if you provide a better experience to them with a mobile friendly site

INCREASED CONVERSIONSWebsites that arenrsquot optimised for

mobile simply fail to convert visitors into buyers The whole layout becomes clumsy and users find it difficult to place any orders

DECREASE IN BOUNCE RATEUsers find it difficult to read a websitersquos

content which isnrsquot optimised for mobile and simply leave the website for another one Thus resulting in an increase in the bounce rate of your site To reduce the bounce rate of your website you need a fully responsive and mobile friendly web-site If you fail to provide a better user experience to your consumers then they might opt for your competitors This will eventually result in degrading your mar-ket value and loss of sales

SOCIAL MEDIA CAN PLAY a great role in shaping your business image so it is important to invest in building a good social media presence Customers now rely on social media to shape their decisions and learn about businesses before making any purchase

With the booming of the web especially after the emergence and spread of social media networks people start to rely on these networks to make their everyday life choices including shopping and purchase decisions For the great impact these online networks have in shaping customersrsquo deci-sions it becomes crucial for an organization to have a neat and significant presence on these networks to maintain a close knit relationship with their present and pro-spective clients

Be it in the physical or virtual world every organization aims at building a good reputation and reflecting a positive image to their customers Online social media plat-forms offer great opportunities to spread the word of mouth about businesses world-wide Thatrsquos why social media networks become one of the important mediums on which brands are built

A new study carried by researchers from Romania and Thailand has highlighted

the impact of social media on a companyrsquos image This case study ldquowas conducted to a 258 respondents having the age between 18 and 41 years oldrdquo To answer the question of how often consumers read or actively take part on discussions initiated in online social networks the study finds that ldquo244 never 2683 sometimes 5122 often and 1951 alwaysrdquo

Researchers also investigated whether or not users on social networks pay ldquomore attention to the online discussion related to the productsservices they are frequently using A whopping 8249 of the respon-dents answered the question positively and confirmed that they ldquoare attentive to this kind of informationrdquo

Social media networks play an impor-tant role in shaping the companyrsquos image and how it is perceived by customers Researchers stated that the study result has given an insightful conclusion that ldquothe companyrsquos image is related to all three con-structions the usersrsquo social influence the organizational promotion and the perceived image in OSN (online social networks)rdquo

Many other studies have stressed on the importance of social media networks for businesses This Research for instance has dealt with the importance of virtual

communities and how they can influence trust of online shoppers As stated by the study ldquovirtual communities offer several advantages to e-tailers and opportunities for the interaction with members of virtual communities consumersrdquo

Another study also tackled the issue and stressed on the importance of social pres-ence and how it affects customersrsquo trust The study stated that ldquosocial presence is a determinant of trust in a retail websiterdquo

In order to build a good relationship with customers and win their trust an online business needs to maintain a good social presence so the customer feels as if they are ldquowith a real vendor This feeling comes from the emotion during the inter-action with the websiterdquo researchers stated

Social media use continues to grow in a significant rate Companies need to take advantage of prospective clients that can be reached by these networks and include social media in their marketing and overall business strategy

As social media has become an impor-tant way to boost business growth and enhance presence in the ever so competi-tive business market any business would be at a competitive disadvantage if they do not have some sort of social media presence

Facing a hearing loss was unexpected and devastating but it has molded me into the Hearing Practitioner I am today Irsquove learned so much from my own experience

I woke up to a hearing loss in my right ear around 11 years ago Working in the field I always thought I would know how to handle a hearing loss of my own if it ever occurred ldquowhen I was olderrdquo I never thought that at 27 I would be facing it My emotions were a kaleidoscope to be honest I was angry embarrassed and afraid

Coming to terms with my own hearing loss has made my life so much easier Situations are not as stressful and I just feel happier It has empowered me to connect with my patients on an entirely new level When we opened Quality Care Hearing it wasnrsquot about prescribing hearing aids it was about making people of all ages who live with hearing loss understand it embrace it and feel confident and happy again

MORE AND MORE PEOPLE are choosing Naturopathy as their preferred method of treatment - and for good rea-son At The Optimum Wellness Clinic we are Edmontonrsquos Top alternative health clinic and are proud to offer Naturopathic treatment and therapies to patients After graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario in 2000 as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine with two clinical excellence awards Dr AJ DeNault founded Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic and has continued to widen the clinicrsquos scope of practice and naturopathic knowledge base Prior to his Naturopathic studies Dr DeNault prac-ticed pharmacy in both Alberta and Ontario for over 25 years This pharmacy back-ground aids in assessing and preventing possible interactions between conventional and natural medicines and treatments that various patients may be taking at various stages of treatment

So what is Naturopathic medicine And who could benefit from it It is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with tradi-tional and natural forms of medicines It is

based on the healing power of nature and it supports and stimulates the bodyrsquos abil-ity to heal itself Natural therapies such as botanical medicine clinical nutrition tra-ditional Chinese medicine and more are used in disease diagnosis treatment and prevention Dr DeNaultrsquos practice-focus includes cancer care with hyperthermia and various IV and injection therapies The other doctors practice-focus includes wom-enrsquos health including fertility pre-natal care and hormone testing children and menrsquos health digestive health and food intoler-ance testing All the practitioners work together with the patient to develop the right strategy and approach for each unique circumstance

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat patients as individuals by addressing the physical environmental lifestyle attitudi-nal and emotional aspects of health This allows NDs to find and treat the cause of disease using natural therapies The goal is to address the cause of the illness rather than simply treating or suppressing the symptoms Both NDs and MDs provide primary care and both are similarly trained The primary difference between the two lies

in the philosophical approach and therapies used Naturopathic medicine can be used to treat all forms of health concerns whether itrsquos pediatric geriatric chronic illness or even psychological Naturopathy is a great option for those patients looking for dis-ease prevention strategies or those looking to combine conventional and naturopathic treatments with the aim of minimizing side effects of drugs surgery or conventional treatments At The Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic the Naturopathic Doctor will choose the natural medicines and ther-apies that are safe and effective with the goal of increasing your health and decreas-ing harmful side effects Their team is eager to continue helping patients with a natural lifestyle friendly approach

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

Having a mobile optimised website has become essential after Google released an update that will prefer mobile friendly websites Here are some reasons why you should optimise your website for mobile devices Mobile friendliness plays a crucial role in the SEO of your website

If your website is not optimised for mobile then you are going to lose sales Various studies have clearly shown that almost every user will leave your website if itrsquos not optimised for mobile or takes a long time to load

Even Google has rolled out a new update on April 21st 2015 that provides advantages to websites that are mobile friendly So itrsquos quite clear now that if your website isnrsquot mobile friendly or responsive then it will surely lose ranks

Still havenrsquot optimised your website Here are a few reasons why you should have a mobile friendly website

PEOPLE USING MOBILE WANT QUICK SOLUTIONS

People using mobile phones for access-ing internet may have different objectives than desktop users The mobile users are looking for information which is quick

and easy to understand Various research has shown that mobile users tend to make impulse purchases and do more shopping compared to desktop usersThis explains the importance of optimising your web-site for different types of platforms in order to meet consumersrsquo demands By making your website mobile friendly you can ensure that users can make purchases easily

MOBILE RESPONSIVE SITES GENERATE TRAFFIC

With almost half of the web searches being made through mobile the impor-tance of having a mobile website has become just as important as having a web-site Various sources have reported that people are using their Smartphone for surfing the web even when theyrsquore busy doing other work Considering all these reports itrsquos a suitable time to switch to mobile friendly website

BRAND ENGAGEMENTIf you offer a better mobile experi-

ence people will become more fond of your brand enough to return to your website repeatedly Often people view

products on mobile devices and return to the same site on desktops More than 90 people have said that accomplishing a task includes switching between devices or ldquomulti-screeningrdquo You will build trust from your website users if you provide a better experience to them with a mobile friendly site

INCREASED CONVERSIONSWebsites that arenrsquot optimised for

mobile simply fail to convert visitors into buyers The whole layout becomes clumsy and users find it difficult to place any orders

DECREASE IN BOUNCE RATEUsers find it difficult to read a websitersquos

content which isnrsquot optimised for mobile and simply leave the website for another one Thus resulting in an increase in the bounce rate of your site To reduce the bounce rate of your website you need a fully responsive and mobile friendly web-site If you fail to provide a better user experience to your consumers then they might opt for your competitors This will eventually result in degrading your mar-ket value and loss of sales

SOCIAL MEDIA CAN PLAY a great role in shaping your business image so it is important to invest in building a good social media presence Customers now rely on social media to shape their decisions and learn about businesses before making any purchase

With the booming of the web especially after the emergence and spread of social media networks people start to rely on these networks to make their everyday life choices including shopping and purchase decisions For the great impact these online networks have in shaping customersrsquo deci-sions it becomes crucial for an organization to have a neat and significant presence on these networks to maintain a close knit relationship with their present and pro-spective clients

Be it in the physical or virtual world every organization aims at building a good reputation and reflecting a positive image to their customers Online social media plat-forms offer great opportunities to spread the word of mouth about businesses world-wide Thatrsquos why social media networks become one of the important mediums on which brands are built

A new study carried by researchers from Romania and Thailand has highlighted

the impact of social media on a companyrsquos image This case study ldquowas conducted to a 258 respondents having the age between 18 and 41 years oldrdquo To answer the question of how often consumers read or actively take part on discussions initiated in online social networks the study finds that ldquo244 never 2683 sometimes 5122 often and 1951 alwaysrdquo

Researchers also investigated whether or not users on social networks pay ldquomore attention to the online discussion related to the productsservices they are frequently using A whopping 8249 of the respon-dents answered the question positively and confirmed that they ldquoare attentive to this kind of informationrdquo

Social media networks play an impor-tant role in shaping the companyrsquos image and how it is perceived by customers Researchers stated that the study result has given an insightful conclusion that ldquothe companyrsquos image is related to all three con-structions the usersrsquo social influence the organizational promotion and the perceived image in OSN (online social networks)rdquo

Many other studies have stressed on the importance of social media networks for businesses This Research for instance has dealt with the importance of virtual

communities and how they can influence trust of online shoppers As stated by the study ldquovirtual communities offer several advantages to e-tailers and opportunities for the interaction with members of virtual communities consumersrdquo

Another study also tackled the issue and stressed on the importance of social pres-ence and how it affects customersrsquo trust The study stated that ldquosocial presence is a determinant of trust in a retail websiterdquo

In order to build a good relationship with customers and win their trust an online business needs to maintain a good social presence so the customer feels as if they are ldquowith a real vendor This feeling comes from the emotion during the inter-action with the websiterdquo researchers stated

Social media use continues to grow in a significant rate Companies need to take advantage of prospective clients that can be reached by these networks and include social media in their marketing and overall business strategy

As social media has become an impor-tant way to boost business growth and enhance presence in the ever so competi-tive business market any business would be at a competitive disadvantage if they do not have some sort of social media presence

Facing a hearing loss was unexpected and devastating but it has molded me into the Hearing Practitioner I am today Irsquove learned so much from my own experience

I woke up to a hearing loss in my right ear around 11 years ago Working in the field I always thought I would know how to handle a hearing loss of my own if it ever occurred ldquowhen I was olderrdquo I never thought that at 27 I would be facing it My emotions were a kaleidoscope to be honest I was angry embarrassed and afraid

Coming to terms with my own hearing loss has made my life so much easier Situations are not as stressful and I just feel happier It has empowered me to connect with my patients on an entirely new level When we opened Quality Care Hearing it wasnrsquot about prescribing hearing aids it was about making people of all ages who live with hearing loss understand it embrace it and feel confident and happy again

MORE AND MORE PEOPLE are choosing Naturopathy as their preferred method of treatment - and for good rea-son At The Optimum Wellness Clinic we are Edmontonrsquos Top alternative health clinic and are proud to offer Naturopathic treatment and therapies to patients After graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario in 2000 as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine with two clinical excellence awards Dr AJ DeNault founded Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic and has continued to widen the clinicrsquos scope of practice and naturopathic knowledge base Prior to his Naturopathic studies Dr DeNault prac-ticed pharmacy in both Alberta and Ontario for over 25 years This pharmacy back-ground aids in assessing and preventing possible interactions between conventional and natural medicines and treatments that various patients may be taking at various stages of treatment

So what is Naturopathic medicine And who could benefit from it It is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with tradi-tional and natural forms of medicines It is

based on the healing power of nature and it supports and stimulates the bodyrsquos abil-ity to heal itself Natural therapies such as botanical medicine clinical nutrition tra-ditional Chinese medicine and more are used in disease diagnosis treatment and prevention Dr DeNaultrsquos practice-focus includes cancer care with hyperthermia and various IV and injection therapies The other doctors practice-focus includes wom-enrsquos health including fertility pre-natal care and hormone testing children and menrsquos health digestive health and food intoler-ance testing All the practitioners work together with the patient to develop the right strategy and approach for each unique circumstance

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat patients as individuals by addressing the physical environmental lifestyle attitudi-nal and emotional aspects of health This allows NDs to find and treat the cause of disease using natural therapies The goal is to address the cause of the illness rather than simply treating or suppressing the symptoms Both NDs and MDs provide primary care and both are similarly trained The primary difference between the two lies

in the philosophical approach and therapies used Naturopathic medicine can be used to treat all forms of health concerns whether itrsquos pediatric geriatric chronic illness or even psychological Naturopathy is a great option for those patients looking for dis-ease prevention strategies or those looking to combine conventional and naturopathic treatments with the aim of minimizing side effects of drugs surgery or conventional treatments At The Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic the Naturopathic Doctor will choose the natural medicines and ther-apies that are safe and effective with the goal of increasing your health and decreas-ing harmful side effects Their team is eager to continue helping patients with a natural lifestyle friendly approach

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

Having a mobile optimised website has become essential after Google released an update that will prefer mobile friendly websites Here are some reasons why you should optimise your website for mobile devices Mobile friendliness plays a crucial role in the SEO of your website

If your website is not optimised for mobile then you are going to lose sales Various studies have clearly shown that almost every user will leave your website if itrsquos not optimised for mobile or takes a long time to load

Even Google has rolled out a new update on April 21st 2015 that provides advantages to websites that are mobile friendly So itrsquos quite clear now that if your website isnrsquot mobile friendly or responsive then it will surely lose ranks

Still havenrsquot optimised your website Here are a few reasons why you should have a mobile friendly website

PEOPLE USING MOBILE WANT QUICK SOLUTIONS

People using mobile phones for access-ing internet may have different objectives than desktop users The mobile users are looking for information which is quick

and easy to understand Various research has shown that mobile users tend to make impulse purchases and do more shopping compared to desktop usersThis explains the importance of optimising your web-site for different types of platforms in order to meet consumersrsquo demands By making your website mobile friendly you can ensure that users can make purchases easily

MOBILE RESPONSIVE SITES GENERATE TRAFFIC

With almost half of the web searches being made through mobile the impor-tance of having a mobile website has become just as important as having a web-site Various sources have reported that people are using their Smartphone for surfing the web even when theyrsquore busy doing other work Considering all these reports itrsquos a suitable time to switch to mobile friendly website

BRAND ENGAGEMENTIf you offer a better mobile experi-

ence people will become more fond of your brand enough to return to your website repeatedly Often people view

products on mobile devices and return to the same site on desktops More than 90 people have said that accomplishing a task includes switching between devices or ldquomulti-screeningrdquo You will build trust from your website users if you provide a better experience to them with a mobile friendly site

INCREASED CONVERSIONSWebsites that arenrsquot optimised for

mobile simply fail to convert visitors into buyers The whole layout becomes clumsy and users find it difficult to place any orders

DECREASE IN BOUNCE RATEUsers find it difficult to read a websitersquos

content which isnrsquot optimised for mobile and simply leave the website for another one Thus resulting in an increase in the bounce rate of your site To reduce the bounce rate of your website you need a fully responsive and mobile friendly web-site If you fail to provide a better user experience to your consumers then they might opt for your competitors This will eventually result in degrading your mar-ket value and loss of sales

SOCIAL MEDIA CAN PLAY a great role in shaping your business image so it is important to invest in building a good social media presence Customers now rely on social media to shape their decisions and learn about businesses before making any purchase

With the booming of the web especially after the emergence and spread of social media networks people start to rely on these networks to make their everyday life choices including shopping and purchase decisions For the great impact these online networks have in shaping customersrsquo deci-sions it becomes crucial for an organization to have a neat and significant presence on these networks to maintain a close knit relationship with their present and pro-spective clients

Be it in the physical or virtual world every organization aims at building a good reputation and reflecting a positive image to their customers Online social media plat-forms offer great opportunities to spread the word of mouth about businesses world-wide Thatrsquos why social media networks become one of the important mediums on which brands are built

A new study carried by researchers from Romania and Thailand has highlighted

the impact of social media on a companyrsquos image This case study ldquowas conducted to a 258 respondents having the age between 18 and 41 years oldrdquo To answer the question of how often consumers read or actively take part on discussions initiated in online social networks the study finds that ldquo244 never 2683 sometimes 5122 often and 1951 alwaysrdquo

Researchers also investigated whether or not users on social networks pay ldquomore attention to the online discussion related to the productsservices they are frequently using A whopping 8249 of the respon-dents answered the question positively and confirmed that they ldquoare attentive to this kind of informationrdquo

Social media networks play an impor-tant role in shaping the companyrsquos image and how it is perceived by customers Researchers stated that the study result has given an insightful conclusion that ldquothe companyrsquos image is related to all three con-structions the usersrsquo social influence the organizational promotion and the perceived image in OSN (online social networks)rdquo

Many other studies have stressed on the importance of social media networks for businesses This Research for instance has dealt with the importance of virtual

communities and how they can influence trust of online shoppers As stated by the study ldquovirtual communities offer several advantages to e-tailers and opportunities for the interaction with members of virtual communities consumersrdquo

Another study also tackled the issue and stressed on the importance of social pres-ence and how it affects customersrsquo trust The study stated that ldquosocial presence is a determinant of trust in a retail websiterdquo

In order to build a good relationship with customers and win their trust an online business needs to maintain a good social presence so the customer feels as if they are ldquowith a real vendor This feeling comes from the emotion during the inter-action with the websiterdquo researchers stated

Social media use continues to grow in a significant rate Companies need to take advantage of prospective clients that can be reached by these networks and include social media in their marketing and overall business strategy

As social media has become an impor-tant way to boost business growth and enhance presence in the ever so competi-tive business market any business would be at a competitive disadvantage if they do not have some sort of social media presence

Facing a hearing loss was unexpected and devastating but it has molded me into the Hearing Practitioner I am today Irsquove learned so much from my own experience

I woke up to a hearing loss in my right ear around 11 years ago Working in the field I always thought I would know how to handle a hearing loss of my own if it ever occurred ldquowhen I was olderrdquo I never thought that at 27 I would be facing it My emotions were a kaleidoscope to be honest I was angry embarrassed and afraid

Coming to terms with my own hearing loss has made my life so much easier Situations are not as stressful and I just feel happier It has empowered me to connect with my patients on an entirely new level When we opened Quality Care Hearing it wasnrsquot about prescribing hearing aids it was about making people of all ages who live with hearing loss understand it embrace it and feel confident and happy again

MORE AND MORE PEOPLE are choosing Naturopathy as their preferred method of treatment - and for good rea-son At The Optimum Wellness Clinic we are Edmontonrsquos Top alternative health clinic and are proud to offer Naturopathic treatment and therapies to patients After graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario in 2000 as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine with two clinical excellence awards Dr AJ DeNault founded Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic and has continued to widen the clinicrsquos scope of practice and naturopathic knowledge base Prior to his Naturopathic studies Dr DeNault prac-ticed pharmacy in both Alberta and Ontario for over 25 years This pharmacy back-ground aids in assessing and preventing possible interactions between conventional and natural medicines and treatments that various patients may be taking at various stages of treatment

So what is Naturopathic medicine And who could benefit from it It is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with tradi-tional and natural forms of medicines It is

based on the healing power of nature and it supports and stimulates the bodyrsquos abil-ity to heal itself Natural therapies such as botanical medicine clinical nutrition tra-ditional Chinese medicine and more are used in disease diagnosis treatment and prevention Dr DeNaultrsquos practice-focus includes cancer care with hyperthermia and various IV and injection therapies The other doctors practice-focus includes wom-enrsquos health including fertility pre-natal care and hormone testing children and menrsquos health digestive health and food intoler-ance testing All the practitioners work together with the patient to develop the right strategy and approach for each unique circumstance

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat patients as individuals by addressing the physical environmental lifestyle attitudi-nal and emotional aspects of health This allows NDs to find and treat the cause of disease using natural therapies The goal is to address the cause of the illness rather than simply treating or suppressing the symptoms Both NDs and MDs provide primary care and both are similarly trained The primary difference between the two lies

in the philosophical approach and therapies used Naturopathic medicine can be used to treat all forms of health concerns whether itrsquos pediatric geriatric chronic illness or even psychological Naturopathy is a great option for those patients looking for dis-ease prevention strategies or those looking to combine conventional and naturopathic treatments with the aim of minimizing side effects of drugs surgery or conventional treatments At The Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic the Naturopathic Doctor will choose the natural medicines and ther-apies that are safe and effective with the goal of increasing your health and decreas-ing harmful side effects Their team is eager to continue helping patients with a natural lifestyle friendly approach

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

Having a mobile optimised website has become essential after Google released an update that will prefer mobile friendly websites Here are some reasons why you should optimise your website for mobile devices Mobile friendliness plays a crucial role in the SEO of your website

If your website is not optimised for mobile then you are going to lose sales Various studies have clearly shown that almost every user will leave your website if itrsquos not optimised for mobile or takes a long time to load

Even Google has rolled out a new update on April 21st 2015 that provides advantages to websites that are mobile friendly So itrsquos quite clear now that if your website isnrsquot mobile friendly or responsive then it will surely lose ranks

Still havenrsquot optimised your website Here are a few reasons why you should have a mobile friendly website

PEOPLE USING MOBILE WANT QUICK SOLUTIONS

People using mobile phones for access-ing internet may have different objectives than desktop users The mobile users are looking for information which is quick

and easy to understand Various research has shown that mobile users tend to make impulse purchases and do more shopping compared to desktop usersThis explains the importance of optimising your web-site for different types of platforms in order to meet consumersrsquo demands By making your website mobile friendly you can ensure that users can make purchases easily

MOBILE RESPONSIVE SITES GENERATE TRAFFIC

With almost half of the web searches being made through mobile the impor-tance of having a mobile website has become just as important as having a web-site Various sources have reported that people are using their Smartphone for surfing the web even when theyrsquore busy doing other work Considering all these reports itrsquos a suitable time to switch to mobile friendly website

BRAND ENGAGEMENTIf you offer a better mobile experi-

ence people will become more fond of your brand enough to return to your website repeatedly Often people view

products on mobile devices and return to the same site on desktops More than 90 people have said that accomplishing a task includes switching between devices or ldquomulti-screeningrdquo You will build trust from your website users if you provide a better experience to them with a mobile friendly site

INCREASED CONVERSIONSWebsites that arenrsquot optimised for

mobile simply fail to convert visitors into buyers The whole layout becomes clumsy and users find it difficult to place any orders

DECREASE IN BOUNCE RATEUsers find it difficult to read a websitersquos

content which isnrsquot optimised for mobile and simply leave the website for another one Thus resulting in an increase in the bounce rate of your site To reduce the bounce rate of your website you need a fully responsive and mobile friendly web-site If you fail to provide a better user experience to your consumers then they might opt for your competitors This will eventually result in degrading your mar-ket value and loss of sales

SOCIAL MEDIA CAN PLAY a great role in shaping your business image so it is important to invest in building a good social media presence Customers now rely on social media to shape their decisions and learn about businesses before making any purchase

With the booming of the web especially after the emergence and spread of social media networks people start to rely on these networks to make their everyday life choices including shopping and purchase decisions For the great impact these online networks have in shaping customersrsquo deci-sions it becomes crucial for an organization to have a neat and significant presence on these networks to maintain a close knit relationship with their present and pro-spective clients

Be it in the physical or virtual world every organization aims at building a good reputation and reflecting a positive image to their customers Online social media plat-forms offer great opportunities to spread the word of mouth about businesses world-wide Thatrsquos why social media networks become one of the important mediums on which brands are built

A new study carried by researchers from Romania and Thailand has highlighted

the impact of social media on a companyrsquos image This case study ldquowas conducted to a 258 respondents having the age between 18 and 41 years oldrdquo To answer the question of how often consumers read or actively take part on discussions initiated in online social networks the study finds that ldquo244 never 2683 sometimes 5122 often and 1951 alwaysrdquo

Researchers also investigated whether or not users on social networks pay ldquomore attention to the online discussion related to the productsservices they are frequently using A whopping 8249 of the respon-dents answered the question positively and confirmed that they ldquoare attentive to this kind of informationrdquo

Social media networks play an impor-tant role in shaping the companyrsquos image and how it is perceived by customers Researchers stated that the study result has given an insightful conclusion that ldquothe companyrsquos image is related to all three con-structions the usersrsquo social influence the organizational promotion and the perceived image in OSN (online social networks)rdquo

Many other studies have stressed on the importance of social media networks for businesses This Research for instance has dealt with the importance of virtual

communities and how they can influence trust of online shoppers As stated by the study ldquovirtual communities offer several advantages to e-tailers and opportunities for the interaction with members of virtual communities consumersrdquo

Another study also tackled the issue and stressed on the importance of social pres-ence and how it affects customersrsquo trust The study stated that ldquosocial presence is a determinant of trust in a retail websiterdquo

In order to build a good relationship with customers and win their trust an online business needs to maintain a good social presence so the customer feels as if they are ldquowith a real vendor This feeling comes from the emotion during the inter-action with the websiterdquo researchers stated

Social media use continues to grow in a significant rate Companies need to take advantage of prospective clients that can be reached by these networks and include social media in their marketing and overall business strategy

As social media has become an impor-tant way to boost business growth and enhance presence in the ever so competi-tive business market any business would be at a competitive disadvantage if they do not have some sort of social media presence

Facing a hearing loss was unexpected and devastating but it has molded me into the Hearing Practitioner I am today Irsquove learned so much from my own experience

I woke up to a hearing loss in my right ear around 11 years ago Working in the field I always thought I would know how to handle a hearing loss of my own if it ever occurred ldquowhen I was olderrdquo I never thought that at 27 I would be facing it My emotions were a kaleidoscope to be honest I was angry embarrassed and afraid

Coming to terms with my own hearing loss has made my life so much easier Situations are not as stressful and I just feel happier It has empowered me to connect with my patients on an entirely new level When we opened Quality Care Hearing it wasnrsquot about prescribing hearing aids it was about making people of all ages who live with hearing loss understand it embrace it and feel confident and happy again

MORE AND MORE PEOPLE are choosing Naturopathy as their preferred method of treatment - and for good rea-son At The Optimum Wellness Clinic we are Edmontonrsquos Top alternative health clinic and are proud to offer Naturopathic treatment and therapies to patients After graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario in 2000 as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine with two clinical excellence awards Dr AJ DeNault founded Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic and has continued to widen the clinicrsquos scope of practice and naturopathic knowledge base Prior to his Naturopathic studies Dr DeNault prac-ticed pharmacy in both Alberta and Ontario for over 25 years This pharmacy back-ground aids in assessing and preventing possible interactions between conventional and natural medicines and treatments that various patients may be taking at various stages of treatment

So what is Naturopathic medicine And who could benefit from it It is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with tradi-tional and natural forms of medicines It is

based on the healing power of nature and it supports and stimulates the bodyrsquos abil-ity to heal itself Natural therapies such as botanical medicine clinical nutrition tra-ditional Chinese medicine and more are used in disease diagnosis treatment and prevention Dr DeNaultrsquos practice-focus includes cancer care with hyperthermia and various IV and injection therapies The other doctors practice-focus includes wom-enrsquos health including fertility pre-natal care and hormone testing children and menrsquos health digestive health and food intoler-ance testing All the practitioners work together with the patient to develop the right strategy and approach for each unique circumstance

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat patients as individuals by addressing the physical environmental lifestyle attitudi-nal and emotional aspects of health This allows NDs to find and treat the cause of disease using natural therapies The goal is to address the cause of the illness rather than simply treating or suppressing the symptoms Both NDs and MDs provide primary care and both are similarly trained The primary difference between the two lies

in the philosophical approach and therapies used Naturopathic medicine can be used to treat all forms of health concerns whether itrsquos pediatric geriatric chronic illness or even psychological Naturopathy is a great option for those patients looking for dis-ease prevention strategies or those looking to combine conventional and naturopathic treatments with the aim of minimizing side effects of drugs surgery or conventional treatments At The Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic the Naturopathic Doctor will choose the natural medicines and ther-apies that are safe and effective with the goal of increasing your health and decreas-ing harmful side effects Their team is eager to continue helping patients with a natural lifestyle friendly approach

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

Having a mobile optimised website has become essential after Google released an update that will prefer mobile friendly websites Here are some reasons why you should optimise your website for mobile devices Mobile friendliness plays a crucial role in the SEO of your website

If your website is not optimised for mobile then you are going to lose sales Various studies have clearly shown that almost every user will leave your website if itrsquos not optimised for mobile or takes a long time to load

Even Google has rolled out a new update on April 21st 2015 that provides advantages to websites that are mobile friendly So itrsquos quite clear now that if your website isnrsquot mobile friendly or responsive then it will surely lose ranks

Still havenrsquot optimised your website Here are a few reasons why you should have a mobile friendly website

PEOPLE USING MOBILE WANT QUICK SOLUTIONS

People using mobile phones for access-ing internet may have different objectives than desktop users The mobile users are looking for information which is quick

and easy to understand Various research has shown that mobile users tend to make impulse purchases and do more shopping compared to desktop usersThis explains the importance of optimising your web-site for different types of platforms in order to meet consumersrsquo demands By making your website mobile friendly you can ensure that users can make purchases easily

MOBILE RESPONSIVE SITES GENERATE TRAFFIC

With almost half of the web searches being made through mobile the impor-tance of having a mobile website has become just as important as having a web-site Various sources have reported that people are using their Smartphone for surfing the web even when theyrsquore busy doing other work Considering all these reports itrsquos a suitable time to switch to mobile friendly website

BRAND ENGAGEMENTIf you offer a better mobile experi-

ence people will become more fond of your brand enough to return to your website repeatedly Often people view

products on mobile devices and return to the same site on desktops More than 90 people have said that accomplishing a task includes switching between devices or ldquomulti-screeningrdquo You will build trust from your website users if you provide a better experience to them with a mobile friendly site

INCREASED CONVERSIONSWebsites that arenrsquot optimised for

mobile simply fail to convert visitors into buyers The whole layout becomes clumsy and users find it difficult to place any orders

DECREASE IN BOUNCE RATEUsers find it difficult to read a websitersquos

content which isnrsquot optimised for mobile and simply leave the website for another one Thus resulting in an increase in the bounce rate of your site To reduce the bounce rate of your website you need a fully responsive and mobile friendly web-site If you fail to provide a better user experience to your consumers then they might opt for your competitors This will eventually result in degrading your mar-ket value and loss of sales

SOCIAL MEDIA CAN PLAY a great role in shaping your business image so it is important to invest in building a good social media presence Customers now rely on social media to shape their decisions and learn about businesses before making any purchase

With the booming of the web especially after the emergence and spread of social media networks people start to rely on these networks to make their everyday life choices including shopping and purchase decisions For the great impact these online networks have in shaping customersrsquo deci-sions it becomes crucial for an organization to have a neat and significant presence on these networks to maintain a close knit relationship with their present and pro-spective clients

Be it in the physical or virtual world every organization aims at building a good reputation and reflecting a positive image to their customers Online social media plat-forms offer great opportunities to spread the word of mouth about businesses world-wide Thatrsquos why social media networks become one of the important mediums on which brands are built

A new study carried by researchers from Romania and Thailand has highlighted

the impact of social media on a companyrsquos image This case study ldquowas conducted to a 258 respondents having the age between 18 and 41 years oldrdquo To answer the question of how often consumers read or actively take part on discussions initiated in online social networks the study finds that ldquo244 never 2683 sometimes 5122 often and 1951 alwaysrdquo

Researchers also investigated whether or not users on social networks pay ldquomore attention to the online discussion related to the productsservices they are frequently using A whopping 8249 of the respon-dents answered the question positively and confirmed that they ldquoare attentive to this kind of informationrdquo

Social media networks play an impor-tant role in shaping the companyrsquos image and how it is perceived by customers Researchers stated that the study result has given an insightful conclusion that ldquothe companyrsquos image is related to all three con-structions the usersrsquo social influence the organizational promotion and the perceived image in OSN (online social networks)rdquo

Many other studies have stressed on the importance of social media networks for businesses This Research for instance has dealt with the importance of virtual

communities and how they can influence trust of online shoppers As stated by the study ldquovirtual communities offer several advantages to e-tailers and opportunities for the interaction with members of virtual communities consumersrdquo

Another study also tackled the issue and stressed on the importance of social pres-ence and how it affects customersrsquo trust The study stated that ldquosocial presence is a determinant of trust in a retail websiterdquo

In order to build a good relationship with customers and win their trust an online business needs to maintain a good social presence so the customer feels as if they are ldquowith a real vendor This feeling comes from the emotion during the inter-action with the websiterdquo researchers stated

Social media use continues to grow in a significant rate Companies need to take advantage of prospective clients that can be reached by these networks and include social media in their marketing and overall business strategy

As social media has become an impor-tant way to boost business growth and enhance presence in the ever so competi-tive business market any business would be at a competitive disadvantage if they do not have some sort of social media presence

Facing a hearing loss was unexpected and devastating but it has molded me into the Hearing Practitioner I am today Irsquove learned so much from my own experience

I woke up to a hearing loss in my right ear around 11 years ago Working in the field I always thought I would know how to handle a hearing loss of my own if it ever occurred ldquowhen I was olderrdquo I never thought that at 27 I would be facing it My emotions were a kaleidoscope to be honest I was angry embarrassed and afraid

Coming to terms with my own hearing loss has made my life so much easier Situations are not as stressful and I just feel happier It has empowered me to connect with my patients on an entirely new level When we opened Quality Care Hearing it wasnrsquot about prescribing hearing aids it was about making people of all ages who live with hearing loss understand it embrace it and feel confident and happy again

MORE AND MORE PEOPLE are choosing Naturopathy as their preferred method of treatment - and for good rea-son At The Optimum Wellness Clinic we are Edmontonrsquos Top alternative health clinic and are proud to offer Naturopathic treatment and therapies to patients After graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario in 2000 as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine with two clinical excellence awards Dr AJ DeNault founded Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic and has continued to widen the clinicrsquos scope of practice and naturopathic knowledge base Prior to his Naturopathic studies Dr DeNault prac-ticed pharmacy in both Alberta and Ontario for over 25 years This pharmacy back-ground aids in assessing and preventing possible interactions between conventional and natural medicines and treatments that various patients may be taking at various stages of treatment

So what is Naturopathic medicine And who could benefit from it It is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with tradi-tional and natural forms of medicines It is

based on the healing power of nature and it supports and stimulates the bodyrsquos abil-ity to heal itself Natural therapies such as botanical medicine clinical nutrition tra-ditional Chinese medicine and more are used in disease diagnosis treatment and prevention Dr DeNaultrsquos practice-focus includes cancer care with hyperthermia and various IV and injection therapies The other doctors practice-focus includes wom-enrsquos health including fertility pre-natal care and hormone testing children and menrsquos health digestive health and food intoler-ance testing All the practitioners work together with the patient to develop the right strategy and approach for each unique circumstance

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat patients as individuals by addressing the physical environmental lifestyle attitudi-nal and emotional aspects of health This allows NDs to find and treat the cause of disease using natural therapies The goal is to address the cause of the illness rather than simply treating or suppressing the symptoms Both NDs and MDs provide primary care and both are similarly trained The primary difference between the two lies

in the philosophical approach and therapies used Naturopathic medicine can be used to treat all forms of health concerns whether itrsquos pediatric geriatric chronic illness or even psychological Naturopathy is a great option for those patients looking for dis-ease prevention strategies or those looking to combine conventional and naturopathic treatments with the aim of minimizing side effects of drugs surgery or conventional treatments At The Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic the Naturopathic Doctor will choose the natural medicines and ther-apies that are safe and effective with the goal of increasing your health and decreas-ing harmful side effects Their team is eager to continue helping patients with a natural lifestyle friendly approach

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

Having a mobile optimised website has become essential after Google released an update that will prefer mobile friendly websites Here are some reasons why you should optimise your website for mobile devices Mobile friendliness plays a crucial role in the SEO of your website

If your website is not optimised for mobile then you are going to lose sales Various studies have clearly shown that almost every user will leave your website if itrsquos not optimised for mobile or takes a long time to load

Even Google has rolled out a new update on April 21st 2015 that provides advantages to websites that are mobile friendly So itrsquos quite clear now that if your website isnrsquot mobile friendly or responsive then it will surely lose ranks

Still havenrsquot optimised your website Here are a few reasons why you should have a mobile friendly website

PEOPLE USING MOBILE WANT QUICK SOLUTIONS

People using mobile phones for access-ing internet may have different objectives than desktop users The mobile users are looking for information which is quick

and easy to understand Various research has shown that mobile users tend to make impulse purchases and do more shopping compared to desktop usersThis explains the importance of optimising your web-site for different types of platforms in order to meet consumersrsquo demands By making your website mobile friendly you can ensure that users can make purchases easily

MOBILE RESPONSIVE SITES GENERATE TRAFFIC

With almost half of the web searches being made through mobile the impor-tance of having a mobile website has become just as important as having a web-site Various sources have reported that people are using their Smartphone for surfing the web even when theyrsquore busy doing other work Considering all these reports itrsquos a suitable time to switch to mobile friendly website

BRAND ENGAGEMENTIf you offer a better mobile experi-

ence people will become more fond of your brand enough to return to your website repeatedly Often people view

products on mobile devices and return to the same site on desktops More than 90 people have said that accomplishing a task includes switching between devices or ldquomulti-screeningrdquo You will build trust from your website users if you provide a better experience to them with a mobile friendly site

INCREASED CONVERSIONSWebsites that arenrsquot optimised for

mobile simply fail to convert visitors into buyers The whole layout becomes clumsy and users find it difficult to place any orders

DECREASE IN BOUNCE RATEUsers find it difficult to read a websitersquos

content which isnrsquot optimised for mobile and simply leave the website for another one Thus resulting in an increase in the bounce rate of your site To reduce the bounce rate of your website you need a fully responsive and mobile friendly web-site If you fail to provide a better user experience to your consumers then they might opt for your competitors This will eventually result in degrading your mar-ket value and loss of sales

SOCIAL MEDIA CAN PLAY a great role in shaping your business image so it is important to invest in building a good social media presence Customers now rely on social media to shape their decisions and learn about businesses before making any purchase

With the booming of the web especially after the emergence and spread of social media networks people start to rely on these networks to make their everyday life choices including shopping and purchase decisions For the great impact these online networks have in shaping customersrsquo deci-sions it becomes crucial for an organization to have a neat and significant presence on these networks to maintain a close knit relationship with their present and pro-spective clients

Be it in the physical or virtual world every organization aims at building a good reputation and reflecting a positive image to their customers Online social media plat-forms offer great opportunities to spread the word of mouth about businesses world-wide Thatrsquos why social media networks become one of the important mediums on which brands are built

A new study carried by researchers from Romania and Thailand has highlighted

the impact of social media on a companyrsquos image This case study ldquowas conducted to a 258 respondents having the age between 18 and 41 years oldrdquo To answer the question of how often consumers read or actively take part on discussions initiated in online social networks the study finds that ldquo244 never 2683 sometimes 5122 often and 1951 alwaysrdquo

Researchers also investigated whether or not users on social networks pay ldquomore attention to the online discussion related to the productsservices they are frequently using A whopping 8249 of the respon-dents answered the question positively and confirmed that they ldquoare attentive to this kind of informationrdquo

Social media networks play an impor-tant role in shaping the companyrsquos image and how it is perceived by customers Researchers stated that the study result has given an insightful conclusion that ldquothe companyrsquos image is related to all three con-structions the usersrsquo social influence the organizational promotion and the perceived image in OSN (online social networks)rdquo

Many other studies have stressed on the importance of social media networks for businesses This Research for instance has dealt with the importance of virtual

communities and how they can influence trust of online shoppers As stated by the study ldquovirtual communities offer several advantages to e-tailers and opportunities for the interaction with members of virtual communities consumersrdquo

Another study also tackled the issue and stressed on the importance of social pres-ence and how it affects customersrsquo trust The study stated that ldquosocial presence is a determinant of trust in a retail websiterdquo

In order to build a good relationship with customers and win their trust an online business needs to maintain a good social presence so the customer feels as if they are ldquowith a real vendor This feeling comes from the emotion during the inter-action with the websiterdquo researchers stated

Social media use continues to grow in a significant rate Companies need to take advantage of prospective clients that can be reached by these networks and include social media in their marketing and overall business strategy

As social media has become an impor-tant way to boost business growth and enhance presence in the ever so competi-tive business market any business would be at a competitive disadvantage if they do not have some sort of social media presence

Facing a hearing loss was unexpected and devastating but it has molded me into the Hearing Practitioner I am today Irsquove learned so much from my own experience

I woke up to a hearing loss in my right ear around 11 years ago Working in the field I always thought I would know how to handle a hearing loss of my own if it ever occurred ldquowhen I was olderrdquo I never thought that at 27 I would be facing it My emotions were a kaleidoscope to be honest I was angry embarrassed and afraid

Coming to terms with my own hearing loss has made my life so much easier Situations are not as stressful and I just feel happier It has empowered me to connect with my patients on an entirely new level When we opened Quality Care Hearing it wasnrsquot about prescribing hearing aids it was about making people of all ages who live with hearing loss understand it embrace it and feel confident and happy again

MORE AND MORE PEOPLE are choosing Naturopathy as their preferred method of treatment - and for good rea-son At The Optimum Wellness Clinic we are Edmontonrsquos Top alternative health clinic and are proud to offer Naturopathic treatment and therapies to patients After graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario in 2000 as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine with two clinical excellence awards Dr AJ DeNault founded Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic and has continued to widen the clinicrsquos scope of practice and naturopathic knowledge base Prior to his Naturopathic studies Dr DeNault prac-ticed pharmacy in both Alberta and Ontario for over 25 years This pharmacy back-ground aids in assessing and preventing possible interactions between conventional and natural medicines and treatments that various patients may be taking at various stages of treatment

So what is Naturopathic medicine And who could benefit from it It is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with tradi-tional and natural forms of medicines It is

based on the healing power of nature and it supports and stimulates the bodyrsquos abil-ity to heal itself Natural therapies such as botanical medicine clinical nutrition tra-ditional Chinese medicine and more are used in disease diagnosis treatment and prevention Dr DeNaultrsquos practice-focus includes cancer care with hyperthermia and various IV and injection therapies The other doctors practice-focus includes wom-enrsquos health including fertility pre-natal care and hormone testing children and menrsquos health digestive health and food intoler-ance testing All the practitioners work together with the patient to develop the right strategy and approach for each unique circumstance

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat patients as individuals by addressing the physical environmental lifestyle attitudi-nal and emotional aspects of health This allows NDs to find and treat the cause of disease using natural therapies The goal is to address the cause of the illness rather than simply treating or suppressing the symptoms Both NDs and MDs provide primary care and both are similarly trained The primary difference between the two lies

in the philosophical approach and therapies used Naturopathic medicine can be used to treat all forms of health concerns whether itrsquos pediatric geriatric chronic illness or even psychological Naturopathy is a great option for those patients looking for dis-ease prevention strategies or those looking to combine conventional and naturopathic treatments with the aim of minimizing side effects of drugs surgery or conventional treatments At The Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic the Naturopathic Doctor will choose the natural medicines and ther-apies that are safe and effective with the goal of increasing your health and decreas-ing harmful side effects Their team is eager to continue helping patients with a natural lifestyle friendly approach

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

SOCIAL MEDIA CAN PLAY a great role in shaping your business image so it is important to invest in building a good social media presence Customers now rely on social media to shape their decisions and learn about businesses before making any purchase

With the booming of the web especially after the emergence and spread of social media networks people start to rely on these networks to make their everyday life choices including shopping and purchase decisions For the great impact these online networks have in shaping customersrsquo deci-sions it becomes crucial for an organization to have a neat and significant presence on these networks to maintain a close knit relationship with their present and pro-spective clients

Be it in the physical or virtual world every organization aims at building a good reputation and reflecting a positive image to their customers Online social media plat-forms offer great opportunities to spread the word of mouth about businesses world-wide Thatrsquos why social media networks become one of the important mediums on which brands are built

A new study carried by researchers from Romania and Thailand has highlighted

the impact of social media on a companyrsquos image This case study ldquowas conducted to a 258 respondents having the age between 18 and 41 years oldrdquo To answer the question of how often consumers read or actively take part on discussions initiated in online social networks the study finds that ldquo244 never 2683 sometimes 5122 often and 1951 alwaysrdquo

Researchers also investigated whether or not users on social networks pay ldquomore attention to the online discussion related to the productsservices they are frequently using A whopping 8249 of the respon-dents answered the question positively and confirmed that they ldquoare attentive to this kind of informationrdquo

Social media networks play an impor-tant role in shaping the companyrsquos image and how it is perceived by customers Researchers stated that the study result has given an insightful conclusion that ldquothe companyrsquos image is related to all three con-structions the usersrsquo social influence the organizational promotion and the perceived image in OSN (online social networks)rdquo

Many other studies have stressed on the importance of social media networks for businesses This Research for instance has dealt with the importance of virtual

communities and how they can influence trust of online shoppers As stated by the study ldquovirtual communities offer several advantages to e-tailers and opportunities for the interaction with members of virtual communities consumersrdquo

Another study also tackled the issue and stressed on the importance of social pres-ence and how it affects customersrsquo trust The study stated that ldquosocial presence is a determinant of trust in a retail websiterdquo

In order to build a good relationship with customers and win their trust an online business needs to maintain a good social presence so the customer feels as if they are ldquowith a real vendor This feeling comes from the emotion during the inter-action with the websiterdquo researchers stated

Social media use continues to grow in a significant rate Companies need to take advantage of prospective clients that can be reached by these networks and include social media in their marketing and overall business strategy

As social media has become an impor-tant way to boost business growth and enhance presence in the ever so competi-tive business market any business would be at a competitive disadvantage if they do not have some sort of social media presence

focuses depending on areas of interest Recognizing that each student has unique and individual needs is just another exam-ple of what sets the teachers and staff apart One of the best and most effective programs at ILAC is the Academic Pathway Program ILAC is the pioneer in Academic Pathway programs in Canada having launched its first program in 1997 Its partnership with over 70 colleges and universities across Canada allows the Pathway Program to serve as a bridge between students and their personal post-secondary goals

The Academic Pathway Program prepares students to enter Canadian post-secondary institutions and gives them the opportunity to do so without requiring them to take official English skills test such as TOEFL or IELTS This is a great key for students seeking to improve their English skills with the intention of attending col-lege or university in Canada The program familiarizes students with the expectations of post-secondary requirements and pro-vides practice in a variety of areas including essay writing researching and oral presen-tations ILACrsquos team of qualified University and College Placement specialists also aide students in gaining acceptance to the pro-grams best suited to their goals

With the goal of providing life chang-ing experiences ILACrsquos students are proof that their methods lead to success and that

their big dreams are the fuel of the new generation Survey results show that 97 of students would recommend ILAC to a friend further proving that when it comes to preparing students for the future the bar is high and unmatched A number of successful graduates have recognized the importance that the program played in reaching their goals

At its core ILAC employs values that help form lasting relationships with their students Celebrating diversity in all cul-tures and welcoming students of all levels teachers and staff make sure that hon-esty integrity and dedication are ingrained in everything they do ILAC also offers accommodations for interested students Students can choose between apartments and residences located in prime downtown areas steps from amenities and public

transit or homestays where students are able to reside with a homestay family and hone their English skills in a social setting

With so many flexible options that can be customized to suit students specific needs ILAC and their Academic Pathway Program ensures that the leaders of tomor-row are getting the best start possible today

Facing a hearing loss was unexpected and devastating but it has molded me into the Hearing Practitioner I am today Irsquove learned so much from my own experience

I woke up to a hearing loss in my right ear around 11 years ago Working in the field I always thought I would know how to handle a hearing loss of my own if it ever occurred ldquowhen I was olderrdquo I never thought that at 27 I would be facing it My emotions were a kaleidoscope to be honest I was angry embarrassed and afraid

Coming to terms with my own hearing loss has made my life so much easier Situations are not as stressful and I just feel happier It has empowered me to connect with my patients on an entirely new level When we opened Quality Care Hearing it wasnrsquot about prescribing hearing aids it was about making people of all ages who live with hearing loss understand it embrace it and feel confident and happy again

MORE AND MORE PEOPLE are choosing Naturopathy as their preferred method of treatment - and for good rea-son At The Optimum Wellness Clinic we are Edmontonrsquos Top alternative health clinic and are proud to offer Naturopathic treatment and therapies to patients After graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario in 2000 as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine with two clinical excellence awards Dr AJ DeNault founded Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic and has continued to widen the clinicrsquos scope of practice and naturopathic knowledge base Prior to his Naturopathic studies Dr DeNault prac-ticed pharmacy in both Alberta and Ontario for over 25 years This pharmacy back-ground aids in assessing and preventing possible interactions between conventional and natural medicines and treatments that various patients may be taking at various stages of treatment

So what is Naturopathic medicine And who could benefit from it It is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with tradi-tional and natural forms of medicines It is

based on the healing power of nature and it supports and stimulates the bodyrsquos abil-ity to heal itself Natural therapies such as botanical medicine clinical nutrition tra-ditional Chinese medicine and more are used in disease diagnosis treatment and prevention Dr DeNaultrsquos practice-focus includes cancer care with hyperthermia and various IV and injection therapies The other doctors practice-focus includes wom-enrsquos health including fertility pre-natal care and hormone testing children and menrsquos health digestive health and food intoler-ance testing All the practitioners work together with the patient to develop the right strategy and approach for each unique circumstance

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat patients as individuals by addressing the physical environmental lifestyle attitudi-nal and emotional aspects of health This allows NDs to find and treat the cause of disease using natural therapies The goal is to address the cause of the illness rather than simply treating or suppressing the symptoms Both NDs and MDs provide primary care and both are similarly trained The primary difference between the two lies

in the philosophical approach and therapies used Naturopathic medicine can be used to treat all forms of health concerns whether itrsquos pediatric geriatric chronic illness or even psychological Naturopathy is a great option for those patients looking for dis-ease prevention strategies or those looking to combine conventional and naturopathic treatments with the aim of minimizing side effects of drugs surgery or conventional treatments At The Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic the Naturopathic Doctor will choose the natural medicines and ther-apies that are safe and effective with the goal of increasing your health and decreas-ing harmful side effects Their team is eager to continue helping patients with a natural lifestyle friendly approach

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

A NEW GENERATION IS enter-ing the workforce Fondly referred to as ldquoGeneration Yrdquo or ldquoMillenialsrdquo this new generation is hitting the ground running thanks to their knack for making good use of resources that were not available to gen-erations of the past Information has never been more readily accessible and where therersquos a will to learn therersquos a way ILAC - International Language Academy of Canada - is an example of one such resource ILAC has over 19 years of experience in provid-ing first-class English programs to students

focuses depending on areas of interest Recognizing that each student has unique and individual needs is just another exam-ple of what sets the teachers and staff apart One of the best and most effective programs at ILAC is the Academic Pathway Program ILAC is the pioneer in Academic Pathway programs in Canada having launched its first program in 1997 Its partnership with over 70 colleges and universities across Canada allows the Pathway Program to serve as a bridge between students and their personal post-secondary goals

ILACrsquos Academic Pathway ProgramFUTURE SUCCESS STARTS WITH TODAYrsquoS PREPARATION

Sabrina Cugliari

from over 70 different countries With multiple awards and recognitions under their belt ILAC has repeatedly been recog-nized for its qualified teachers dedicated staff and most importantly outstanding success

ILAC prides itself on offering a variety of programs and courses each tailored to stu-dentsrsquo specific goals and English levels The available program schedules are flexible with varying intensities giving students the option to decide how quickly they want to progress and offering streamlined program

ILAC PATHWAY GRADUATES Saud Alfayez Fernanda Trincado Kristyna Drabinova Gabriela Garcia and Daniela Chirinos

T P CHOICE MAGAZINE Summer 2016 27

The Academic Pathway Program prepares students to enter Canadian post-secondary institutions and gives them the opportunity to do so without requiring them to take official English skills test such as TOEFL or IELTS This is a great key for students seeking to improve their English skills with the intention of attending col-lege or university in Canada The program familiarizes students with the expectations of post-secondary requirements and pro-vides practice in a variety of areas including essay writing researching and oral presen-tations ILACrsquos team of qualified University and College Placement specialists also aide students in gaining acceptance to the pro-grams best suited to their goals

With the goal of providing life chang-ing experiences ILACrsquos students are proof that their methods lead to success and that

their big dreams are the fuel of the new generation Survey results show that 97 of students would recommend ILAC to a friend further proving that when it comes to preparing students for the future the bar is high and unmatched A number of successful graduates have recognized the importance that the program played in reaching their goals

At its core ILAC employs values that help form lasting relationships with their students Celebrating diversity in all cul-tures and welcoming students of all levels teachers and staff make sure that hon-esty integrity and dedication are ingrained in everything they do ILAC also offers accommodations for interested students Students can choose between apartments and residences located in prime downtown areas steps from amenities and public

transit or homestays where students are able to reside with a homestay family and hone their English skills in a social setting

With so many flexible options that can be customized to suit students specific needs ILAC and their Academic Pathway Program ensures that the leaders of tomor-row are getting the best start possible today

Facing a hearing loss was unexpected and devastating but it has molded me into the Hearing Practitioner I am today Irsquove learned so much from my own experience

I woke up to a hearing loss in my right ear around 11 years ago Working in the field I always thought I would know how to handle a hearing loss of my own if it ever occurred ldquowhen I was olderrdquo I never thought that at 27 I would be facing it My emotions were a kaleidoscope to be honest I was angry embarrassed and afraid

Coming to terms with my own hearing loss has made my life so much easier Situations are not as stressful and I just feel happier It has empowered me to connect with my patients on an entirely new level When we opened Quality Care Hearing it wasnrsquot about prescribing hearing aids it was about making people of all ages who live with hearing loss understand it embrace it and feel confident and happy again

MORE AND MORE PEOPLE are choosing Naturopathy as their preferred method of treatment - and for good rea-son At The Optimum Wellness Clinic we are Edmontonrsquos Top alternative health clinic and are proud to offer Naturopathic treatment and therapies to patients After graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario in 2000 as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine with two clinical excellence awards Dr AJ DeNault founded Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic and has continued to widen the clinicrsquos scope of practice and naturopathic knowledge base Prior to his Naturopathic studies Dr DeNault prac-ticed pharmacy in both Alberta and Ontario for over 25 years This pharmacy back-ground aids in assessing and preventing possible interactions between conventional and natural medicines and treatments that various patients may be taking at various stages of treatment

So what is Naturopathic medicine And who could benefit from it It is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with tradi-tional and natural forms of medicines It is

based on the healing power of nature and it supports and stimulates the bodyrsquos abil-ity to heal itself Natural therapies such as botanical medicine clinical nutrition tra-ditional Chinese medicine and more are used in disease diagnosis treatment and prevention Dr DeNaultrsquos practice-focus includes cancer care with hyperthermia and various IV and injection therapies The other doctors practice-focus includes wom-enrsquos health including fertility pre-natal care and hormone testing children and menrsquos health digestive health and food intoler-ance testing All the practitioners work together with the patient to develop the right strategy and approach for each unique circumstance

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat patients as individuals by addressing the physical environmental lifestyle attitudi-nal and emotional aspects of health This allows NDs to find and treat the cause of disease using natural therapies The goal is to address the cause of the illness rather than simply treating or suppressing the symptoms Both NDs and MDs provide primary care and both are similarly trained The primary difference between the two lies

in the philosophical approach and therapies used Naturopathic medicine can be used to treat all forms of health concerns whether itrsquos pediatric geriatric chronic illness or even psychological Naturopathy is a great option for those patients looking for dis-ease prevention strategies or those looking to combine conventional and naturopathic treatments with the aim of minimizing side effects of drugs surgery or conventional treatments At The Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic the Naturopathic Doctor will choose the natural medicines and ther-apies that are safe and effective with the goal of increasing your health and decreas-ing harmful side effects Their team is eager to continue helping patients with a natural lifestyle friendly approach

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

focuses depending on areas of interest Recognizing that each student has unique and individual needs is just another exam-ple of what sets the teachers and staff apart One of the best and most effective programs at ILAC is the Academic Pathway Program ILAC is the pioneer in Academic Pathway programs in Canada having launched its first program in 1997 Its partnership with over 70 colleges and universities across Canada allows the Pathway Program to serve as a bridge between students and their personal post-secondary goals

ILACrsquos Academic Pathway ProgramFUTURE SUCCESS STARTS WITH TODAYrsquoS PREPARATION

T P CHOICE MAGAZINE Summer 2016 27

The Academic Pathway Program prepares students to enter Canadian post-secondary institutions and gives them the opportunity to do so without requiring them to take official English skills test such as TOEFL or IELTS This is a great key for students seeking to improve their English skills with the intention of attending col-lege or university in Canada The program familiarizes students with the expectations of post-secondary requirements and pro-vides practice in a variety of areas including essay writing researching and oral presen-tations ILACrsquos team of qualified University and College Placement specialists also aide students in gaining acceptance to the pro-grams best suited to their goals

With the goal of providing life chang-ing experiences ILACrsquos students are proof that their methods lead to success and that

their big dreams are the fuel of the new generation Survey results show that 97 of students would recommend ILAC to a friend further proving that when it comes to preparing students for the future the bar is high and unmatched A number of successful graduates have recognized the importance that the program played in reaching their goals

At its core ILAC employs values that help form lasting relationships with their students Celebrating diversity in all cul-tures and welcoming students of all levels teachers and staff make sure that hon-esty integrity and dedication are ingrained in everything they do ILAC also offers accommodations for interested students Students can choose between apartments and residences located in prime downtown areas steps from amenities and public

transit or homestays where students are able to reside with a homestay family and hone their English skills in a social setting

With so many flexible options that can be customized to suit students specific needs ILAC and their Academic Pathway Program ensures that the leaders of tomor-row are getting the best start possible today

Facing a hearing loss was unexpected and devastating but it has molded me into the Hearing Practitioner I am today Irsquove learned so much from my own experience

I woke up to a hearing loss in my right ear around 11 years ago Working in the field I always thought I would know how to handle a hearing loss of my own if it ever occurred ldquowhen I was olderrdquo I never thought that at 27 I would be facing it My emotions were a kaleidoscope to be honest I was angry embarrassed and afraid

Coming to terms with my own hearing loss has made my life so much easier Situations are not as stressful and I just feel happier It has empowered me to connect with my patients on an entirely new level When we opened Quality Care Hearing it wasnrsquot about prescribing hearing aids it was about making people of all ages who live with hearing loss understand it embrace it and feel confident and happy again

MORE AND MORE PEOPLE are choosing Naturopathy as their preferred method of treatment - and for good rea-son At The Optimum Wellness Clinic we are Edmontonrsquos Top alternative health clinic and are proud to offer Naturopathic treatment and therapies to patients After graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario in 2000 as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine with two clinical excellence awards Dr AJ DeNault founded Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic and has continued to widen the clinicrsquos scope of practice and naturopathic knowledge base Prior to his Naturopathic studies Dr DeNault prac-ticed pharmacy in both Alberta and Ontario for over 25 years This pharmacy back-ground aids in assessing and preventing possible interactions between conventional and natural medicines and treatments that various patients may be taking at various stages of treatment

So what is Naturopathic medicine And who could benefit from it It is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with tradi-tional and natural forms of medicines It is

based on the healing power of nature and it supports and stimulates the bodyrsquos abil-ity to heal itself Natural therapies such as botanical medicine clinical nutrition tra-ditional Chinese medicine and more are used in disease diagnosis treatment and prevention Dr DeNaultrsquos practice-focus includes cancer care with hyperthermia and various IV and injection therapies The other doctors practice-focus includes wom-enrsquos health including fertility pre-natal care and hormone testing children and menrsquos health digestive health and food intoler-ance testing All the practitioners work together with the patient to develop the right strategy and approach for each unique circumstance

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat patients as individuals by addressing the physical environmental lifestyle attitudi-nal and emotional aspects of health This allows NDs to find and treat the cause of disease using natural therapies The goal is to address the cause of the illness rather than simply treating or suppressing the symptoms Both NDs and MDs provide primary care and both are similarly trained The primary difference between the two lies

in the philosophical approach and therapies used Naturopathic medicine can be used to treat all forms of health concerns whether itrsquos pediatric geriatric chronic illness or even psychological Naturopathy is a great option for those patients looking for dis-ease prevention strategies or those looking to combine conventional and naturopathic treatments with the aim of minimizing side effects of drugs surgery or conventional treatments At The Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic the Naturopathic Doctor will choose the natural medicines and ther-apies that are safe and effective with the goal of increasing your health and decreas-ing harmful side effects Their team is eager to continue helping patients with a natural lifestyle friendly approach

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

Facing a hearing loss was unexpected and devastating but it has molded me into the Hearing Practitioner I am today Irsquove learned so much from my own experience

I woke up to a hearing loss in my right ear around 11 years ago Working in the field I always thought I would know how to handle a hearing loss of my own if it ever occurred ldquowhen I was olderrdquo I never thought that at 27 I would be facing it My emotions were a kaleidoscope to be honest I was angry embarrassed and afraid

Coming to terms with my own hearing loss has made my life so much easier Situations are not as stressful and I just feel happier It has empowered me to connect with my patients on an entirely new level When we opened Quality Care Hearing it wasnrsquot about prescribing hearing aids it was about making people of all ages who live with hearing loss understand it embrace it and feel confident and happy again

MORE AND MORE PEOPLE are choosing Naturopathy as their preferred method of treatment - and for good rea-son At The Optimum Wellness Clinic we are Edmontonrsquos Top alternative health clinic and are proud to offer Naturopathic treatment and therapies to patients After graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario in 2000 as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine with two clinical excellence awards Dr AJ DeNault founded Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic and has continued to widen the clinicrsquos scope of practice and naturopathic knowledge base Prior to his Naturopathic studies Dr DeNault prac-ticed pharmacy in both Alberta and Ontario for over 25 years This pharmacy back-ground aids in assessing and preventing possible interactions between conventional and natural medicines and treatments that various patients may be taking at various stages of treatment

So what is Naturopathic medicine And who could benefit from it It is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with tradi-tional and natural forms of medicines It is

based on the healing power of nature and it supports and stimulates the bodyrsquos abil-ity to heal itself Natural therapies such as botanical medicine clinical nutrition tra-ditional Chinese medicine and more are used in disease diagnosis treatment and prevention Dr DeNaultrsquos practice-focus includes cancer care with hyperthermia and various IV and injection therapies The other doctors practice-focus includes wom-enrsquos health including fertility pre-natal care and hormone testing children and menrsquos health digestive health and food intoler-ance testing All the practitioners work together with the patient to develop the right strategy and approach for each unique circumstance

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat patients as individuals by addressing the physical environmental lifestyle attitudi-nal and emotional aspects of health This allows NDs to find and treat the cause of disease using natural therapies The goal is to address the cause of the illness rather than simply treating or suppressing the symptoms Both NDs and MDs provide primary care and both are similarly trained The primary difference between the two lies

in the philosophical approach and therapies used Naturopathic medicine can be used to treat all forms of health concerns whether itrsquos pediatric geriatric chronic illness or even psychological Naturopathy is a great option for those patients looking for dis-ease prevention strategies or those looking to combine conventional and naturopathic treatments with the aim of minimizing side effects of drugs surgery or conventional treatments At The Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic the Naturopathic Doctor will choose the natural medicines and ther-apies that are safe and effective with the goal of increasing your health and decreas-ing harmful side effects Their team is eager to continue helping patients with a natural lifestyle friendly approach

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

Facing a hearing loss was unexpected and devastating but it has molded me into the Hearing Practitioner I am today Irsquove learned so much from my own experience

I woke up to a hearing loss in my right ear around 11 years ago Working in the field I always thought I would know how to handle a hearing loss of my own if it ever occurred ldquowhen I was olderrdquo I never thought that at 27 I would be facing it My emotions were a kaleidoscope to be honest I was angry embarrassed and afraid

Coming to terms with my own hearing loss has made my life so much easier Situations are not as stressful and I just feel happier It has empowered me to connect with my patients on an entirely new level When we opened Quality Care Hearing it wasnrsquot about prescribing hearing aids it was about making people of all ages who live with hearing loss understand it embrace it and feel confident and happy again

MORE AND MORE PEOPLE are choosing Naturopathy as their preferred method of treatment - and for good rea-son At The Optimum Wellness Clinic we are Edmontonrsquos Top alternative health clinic and are proud to offer Naturopathic treatment and therapies to patients After graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario in 2000 as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine with two clinical excellence awards Dr AJ DeNault founded Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic and has continued to widen the clinicrsquos scope of practice and naturopathic knowledge base Prior to his Naturopathic studies Dr DeNault prac-ticed pharmacy in both Alberta and Ontario for over 25 years This pharmacy back-ground aids in assessing and preventing possible interactions between conventional and natural medicines and treatments that various patients may be taking at various stages of treatment

So what is Naturopathic medicine And who could benefit from it It is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with tradi-tional and natural forms of medicines It is

based on the healing power of nature and it supports and stimulates the bodyrsquos abil-ity to heal itself Natural therapies such as botanical medicine clinical nutrition tra-ditional Chinese medicine and more are used in disease diagnosis treatment and prevention Dr DeNaultrsquos practice-focus includes cancer care with hyperthermia and various IV and injection therapies The other doctors practice-focus includes wom-enrsquos health including fertility pre-natal care and hormone testing children and menrsquos health digestive health and food intoler-ance testing All the practitioners work together with the patient to develop the right strategy and approach for each unique circumstance

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat patients as individuals by addressing the physical environmental lifestyle attitudi-nal and emotional aspects of health This allows NDs to find and treat the cause of disease using natural therapies The goal is to address the cause of the illness rather than simply treating or suppressing the symptoms Both NDs and MDs provide primary care and both are similarly trained The primary difference between the two lies

in the philosophical approach and therapies used Naturopathic medicine can be used to treat all forms of health concerns whether itrsquos pediatric geriatric chronic illness or even psychological Naturopathy is a great option for those patients looking for dis-ease prevention strategies or those looking to combine conventional and naturopathic treatments with the aim of minimizing side effects of drugs surgery or conventional treatments At The Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic the Naturopathic Doctor will choose the natural medicines and ther-apies that are safe and effective with the goal of increasing your health and decreas-ing harmful side effects Their team is eager to continue helping patients with a natural lifestyle friendly approach

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

Facing a hearing loss was unexpected and devastating but it has molded me into the Hearing Practitioner I am today Irsquove learned so much from my own experience

I woke up to a hearing loss in my right ear around 11 years ago Working in the field I always thought I would know how to handle a hearing loss of my own if it ever occurred ldquowhen I was olderrdquo I never thought that at 27 I would be facing it My emotions were a kaleidoscope to be honest I was angry embarrassed and afraid

Coming to terms with my own hearing loss has made my life so much easier Situations are not as stressful and I just feel happier It has empowered me to connect with my patients on an entirely new level When we opened Quality Care Hearing it wasnrsquot about prescribing hearing aids it was about making people of all ages who live with hearing loss understand it embrace it and feel confident and happy again

MORE AND MORE PEOPLE are choosing Naturopathy as their preferred method of treatment - and for good rea-son At The Optimum Wellness Clinic we are Edmontonrsquos Top alternative health clinic and are proud to offer Naturopathic treatment and therapies to patients After graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario in 2000 as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine with two clinical excellence awards Dr AJ DeNault founded Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic and has continued to widen the clinicrsquos scope of practice and naturopathic knowledge base Prior to his Naturopathic studies Dr DeNault prac-ticed pharmacy in both Alberta and Ontario for over 25 years This pharmacy back-ground aids in assessing and preventing possible interactions between conventional and natural medicines and treatments that various patients may be taking at various stages of treatment

So what is Naturopathic medicine And who could benefit from it It is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with tradi-tional and natural forms of medicines It is

based on the healing power of nature and it supports and stimulates the bodyrsquos abil-ity to heal itself Natural therapies such as botanical medicine clinical nutrition tra-ditional Chinese medicine and more are used in disease diagnosis treatment and prevention Dr DeNaultrsquos practice-focus includes cancer care with hyperthermia and various IV and injection therapies The other doctors practice-focus includes wom-enrsquos health including fertility pre-natal care and hormone testing children and menrsquos health digestive health and food intoler-ance testing All the practitioners work together with the patient to develop the right strategy and approach for each unique circumstance

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat patients as individuals by addressing the physical environmental lifestyle attitudi-nal and emotional aspects of health This allows NDs to find and treat the cause of disease using natural therapies The goal is to address the cause of the illness rather than simply treating or suppressing the symptoms Both NDs and MDs provide primary care and both are similarly trained The primary difference between the two lies

in the philosophical approach and therapies used Naturopathic medicine can be used to treat all forms of health concerns whether itrsquos pediatric geriatric chronic illness or even psychological Naturopathy is a great option for those patients looking for dis-ease prevention strategies or those looking to combine conventional and naturopathic treatments with the aim of minimizing side effects of drugs surgery or conventional treatments At The Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic the Naturopathic Doctor will choose the natural medicines and ther-apies that are safe and effective with the goal of increasing your health and decreas-ing harmful side effects Their team is eager to continue helping patients with a natural lifestyle friendly approach

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

Facing a hearing loss was unexpected and devastating but it has molded me into the Hearing Practitioner I am today Irsquove learned so much from my own experience

I woke up to a hearing loss in my right ear around 11 years ago Working in the field I always thought I would know how to handle a hearing loss of my own if it ever occurred ldquowhen I was olderrdquo I never thought that at 27 I would be facing it My emotions were a kaleidoscope to be honest I was angry embarrassed and afraid

Coming to terms with my own hearing loss has made my life so much easier Situations are not as stressful and I just feel happier It has empowered me to connect with my patients on an entirely new level When we opened Quality Care Hearing it wasnrsquot about prescribing hearing aids it was about making people of all ages who live with hearing loss understand it embrace it and feel confident and happy again

MORE AND MORE PEOPLE are choosing Naturopathy as their preferred method of treatment - and for good rea-son At The Optimum Wellness Clinic we are Edmontonrsquos Top alternative health clinic and are proud to offer Naturopathic treatment and therapies to patients After graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario in 2000 as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine with two clinical excellence awards Dr AJ DeNault founded Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic and has continued to widen the clinicrsquos scope of practice and naturopathic knowledge base Prior to his Naturopathic studies Dr DeNault prac-ticed pharmacy in both Alberta and Ontario for over 25 years This pharmacy back-ground aids in assessing and preventing possible interactions between conventional and natural medicines and treatments that various patients may be taking at various stages of treatment

So what is Naturopathic medicine And who could benefit from it It is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with tradi-tional and natural forms of medicines It is

based on the healing power of nature and it supports and stimulates the bodyrsquos abil-ity to heal itself Natural therapies such as botanical medicine clinical nutrition tra-ditional Chinese medicine and more are used in disease diagnosis treatment and prevention Dr DeNaultrsquos practice-focus includes cancer care with hyperthermia and various IV and injection therapies The other doctors practice-focus includes wom-enrsquos health including fertility pre-natal care and hormone testing children and menrsquos health digestive health and food intoler-ance testing All the practitioners work together with the patient to develop the right strategy and approach for each unique circumstance

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat patients as individuals by addressing the physical environmental lifestyle attitudi-nal and emotional aspects of health This allows NDs to find and treat the cause of disease using natural therapies The goal is to address the cause of the illness rather than simply treating or suppressing the symptoms Both NDs and MDs provide primary care and both are similarly trained The primary difference between the two lies

in the philosophical approach and therapies used Naturopathic medicine can be used to treat all forms of health concerns whether itrsquos pediatric geriatric chronic illness or even psychological Naturopathy is a great option for those patients looking for dis-ease prevention strategies or those looking to combine conventional and naturopathic treatments with the aim of minimizing side effects of drugs surgery or conventional treatments At The Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic the Naturopathic Doctor will choose the natural medicines and ther-apies that are safe and effective with the goal of increasing your health and decreas-ing harmful side effects Their team is eager to continue helping patients with a natural lifestyle friendly approach

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

Facing a hearing loss was unexpected and devastating but it has molded me into the Hearing Practitioner I am today Irsquove learned so much from my own experience

I woke up to a hearing loss in my right ear around 11 years ago Working in the field I always thought I would know how to handle a hearing loss of my own if it ever occurred ldquowhen I was olderrdquo I never thought that at 27 I would be facing it My emotions were a kaleidoscope to be honest I was angry embarrassed and afraid

Coming to terms with my own hearing loss has made my life so much easier Situations are not as stressful and I just feel happier It has empowered me to connect with my patients on an entirely new level When we opened Quality Care Hearing it wasnrsquot about prescribing hearing aids it was about making people of all ages who live with hearing loss understand it embrace it and feel confident and happy again

MORE AND MORE PEOPLE are choosing Naturopathy as their preferred method of treatment - and for good rea-son At The Optimum Wellness Clinic we are Edmontonrsquos Top alternative health clinic and are proud to offer Naturopathic treatment and therapies to patients After graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario in 2000 as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine with two clinical excellence awards Dr AJ DeNault founded Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic and has continued to widen the clinicrsquos scope of practice and naturopathic knowledge base Prior to his Naturopathic studies Dr DeNault prac-ticed pharmacy in both Alberta and Ontario for over 25 years This pharmacy back-ground aids in assessing and preventing possible interactions between conventional and natural medicines and treatments that various patients may be taking at various stages of treatment

So what is Naturopathic medicine And who could benefit from it It is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with tradi-tional and natural forms of medicines It is

based on the healing power of nature and it supports and stimulates the bodyrsquos abil-ity to heal itself Natural therapies such as botanical medicine clinical nutrition tra-ditional Chinese medicine and more are used in disease diagnosis treatment and prevention Dr DeNaultrsquos practice-focus includes cancer care with hyperthermia and various IV and injection therapies The other doctors practice-focus includes wom-enrsquos health including fertility pre-natal care and hormone testing children and menrsquos health digestive health and food intoler-ance testing All the practitioners work together with the patient to develop the right strategy and approach for each unique circumstance

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat patients as individuals by addressing the physical environmental lifestyle attitudi-nal and emotional aspects of health This allows NDs to find and treat the cause of disease using natural therapies The goal is to address the cause of the illness rather than simply treating or suppressing the symptoms Both NDs and MDs provide primary care and both are similarly trained The primary difference between the two lies

in the philosophical approach and therapies used Naturopathic medicine can be used to treat all forms of health concerns whether itrsquos pediatric geriatric chronic illness or even psychological Naturopathy is a great option for those patients looking for dis-ease prevention strategies or those looking to combine conventional and naturopathic treatments with the aim of minimizing side effects of drugs surgery or conventional treatments At The Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic the Naturopathic Doctor will choose the natural medicines and ther-apies that are safe and effective with the goal of increasing your health and decreas-ing harmful side effects Their team is eager to continue helping patients with a natural lifestyle friendly approach

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

Facing a hearing loss was unexpected and devastating but it has molded me into the Hearing Practitioner I am today Irsquove learned so much from my own experience

I woke up to a hearing loss in my right ear around 11 years ago Working in the field I always thought I would know how to handle a hearing loss of my own if it ever occurred ldquowhen I was olderrdquo I never thought that at 27 I would be facing it My emotions were a kaleidoscope to be honest I was angry embarrassed and afraid

Coming to terms with my own hearing loss has made my life so much easier Situations are not as stressful and I just feel happier It has empowered me to connect with my patients on an entirely new level When we opened Quality Care Hearing it wasnrsquot about prescribing hearing aids it was about making people of all ages who live with hearing loss understand it embrace it and feel confident and happy again

MORE AND MORE PEOPLE are choosing Naturopathy as their preferred method of treatment - and for good rea-son At The Optimum Wellness Clinic we are Edmontonrsquos Top alternative health clinic and are proud to offer Naturopathic treatment and therapies to patients After graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario in 2000 as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine with two clinical excellence awards Dr AJ DeNault founded Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic and has continued to widen the clinicrsquos scope of practice and naturopathic knowledge base Prior to his Naturopathic studies Dr DeNault prac-ticed pharmacy in both Alberta and Ontario for over 25 years This pharmacy back-ground aids in assessing and preventing possible interactions between conventional and natural medicines and treatments that various patients may be taking at various stages of treatment

So what is Naturopathic medicine And who could benefit from it It is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with tradi-tional and natural forms of medicines It is

based on the healing power of nature and it supports and stimulates the bodyrsquos abil-ity to heal itself Natural therapies such as botanical medicine clinical nutrition tra-ditional Chinese medicine and more are used in disease diagnosis treatment and prevention Dr DeNaultrsquos practice-focus includes cancer care with hyperthermia and various IV and injection therapies The other doctors practice-focus includes wom-enrsquos health including fertility pre-natal care and hormone testing children and menrsquos health digestive health and food intoler-ance testing All the practitioners work together with the patient to develop the right strategy and approach for each unique circumstance

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat patients as individuals by addressing the physical environmental lifestyle attitudi-nal and emotional aspects of health This allows NDs to find and treat the cause of disease using natural therapies The goal is to address the cause of the illness rather than simply treating or suppressing the symptoms Both NDs and MDs provide primary care and both are similarly trained The primary difference between the two lies

in the philosophical approach and therapies used Naturopathic medicine can be used to treat all forms of health concerns whether itrsquos pediatric geriatric chronic illness or even psychological Naturopathy is a great option for those patients looking for dis-ease prevention strategies or those looking to combine conventional and naturopathic treatments with the aim of minimizing side effects of drugs surgery or conventional treatments At The Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic the Naturopathic Doctor will choose the natural medicines and ther-apies that are safe and effective with the goal of increasing your health and decreas-ing harmful side effects Their team is eager to continue helping patients with a natural lifestyle friendly approach

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

Facing a hearing loss was unexpected and devastating but it has molded me into the Hearing Practitioner I am today Irsquove learned so much from my own experience

I woke up to a hearing loss in my right ear around 11 years ago Working in the field I always thought I would know how to handle a hearing loss of my own if it ever occurred ldquowhen I was olderrdquo I never thought that at 27 I would be facing it My emotions were a kaleidoscope to be honest I was angry embarrassed and afraid

Coming to terms with my own hearing loss has made my life so much easier Situations are not as stressful and I just feel happier It has empowered me to connect with my patients on an entirely new level When we opened Quality Care Hearing it wasnrsquot about prescribing hearing aids it was about making people of all ages who live with hearing loss understand it embrace it and feel confident and happy again

MORE AND MORE PEOPLE are choosing Naturopathy as their preferred method of treatment - and for good rea-son At The Optimum Wellness Clinic we are Edmontonrsquos Top alternative health clinic and are proud to offer Naturopathic treatment and therapies to patients After graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario in 2000 as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine with two clinical excellence awards Dr AJ DeNault founded Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic and has continued to widen the clinicrsquos scope of practice and naturopathic knowledge base Prior to his Naturopathic studies Dr DeNault prac-ticed pharmacy in both Alberta and Ontario for over 25 years This pharmacy back-ground aids in assessing and preventing possible interactions between conventional and natural medicines and treatments that various patients may be taking at various stages of treatment

So what is Naturopathic medicine And who could benefit from it It is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with tradi-tional and natural forms of medicines It is

based on the healing power of nature and it supports and stimulates the bodyrsquos abil-ity to heal itself Natural therapies such as botanical medicine clinical nutrition tra-ditional Chinese medicine and more are used in disease diagnosis treatment and prevention Dr DeNaultrsquos practice-focus includes cancer care with hyperthermia and various IV and injection therapies The other doctors practice-focus includes wom-enrsquos health including fertility pre-natal care and hormone testing children and menrsquos health digestive health and food intoler-ance testing All the practitioners work together with the patient to develop the right strategy and approach for each unique circumstance

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat patients as individuals by addressing the physical environmental lifestyle attitudi-nal and emotional aspects of health This allows NDs to find and treat the cause of disease using natural therapies The goal is to address the cause of the illness rather than simply treating or suppressing the symptoms Both NDs and MDs provide primary care and both are similarly trained The primary difference between the two lies

in the philosophical approach and therapies used Naturopathic medicine can be used to treat all forms of health concerns whether itrsquos pediatric geriatric chronic illness or even psychological Naturopathy is a great option for those patients looking for dis-ease prevention strategies or those looking to combine conventional and naturopathic treatments with the aim of minimizing side effects of drugs surgery or conventional treatments At The Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic the Naturopathic Doctor will choose the natural medicines and ther-apies that are safe and effective with the goal of increasing your health and decreas-ing harmful side effects Their team is eager to continue helping patients with a natural lifestyle friendly approach

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

Facing a hearing loss was unexpected and devastating but it has molded me into the Hearing Practitioner I am today Irsquove learned so much from my own experience

I woke up to a hearing loss in my right ear around 11 years ago Working in the field I always thought I would know how to handle a hearing loss of my own if it ever occurred ldquowhen I was olderrdquo I never thought that at 27 I would be facing it My emotions were a kaleidoscope to be honest I was angry embarrassed and afraid

Coming to terms with my own hearing loss has made my life so much easier Situations are not as stressful and I just feel happier It has empowered me to connect with my patients on an entirely new level When we opened Quality Care Hearing it wasnrsquot about prescribing hearing aids it was about making people of all ages who live with hearing loss understand it embrace it and feel confident and happy again

MORE AND MORE PEOPLE are choosing Naturopathy as their preferred method of treatment - and for good rea-son At The Optimum Wellness Clinic we are Edmontonrsquos Top alternative health clinic and are proud to offer Naturopathic treatment and therapies to patients After graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario in 2000 as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine with two clinical excellence awards Dr AJ DeNault founded Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic and has continued to widen the clinicrsquos scope of practice and naturopathic knowledge base Prior to his Naturopathic studies Dr DeNault prac-ticed pharmacy in both Alberta and Ontario for over 25 years This pharmacy back-ground aids in assessing and preventing possible interactions between conventional and natural medicines and treatments that various patients may be taking at various stages of treatment

So what is Naturopathic medicine And who could benefit from it It is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with tradi-tional and natural forms of medicines It is

based on the healing power of nature and it supports and stimulates the bodyrsquos abil-ity to heal itself Natural therapies such as botanical medicine clinical nutrition tra-ditional Chinese medicine and more are used in disease diagnosis treatment and prevention Dr DeNaultrsquos practice-focus includes cancer care with hyperthermia and various IV and injection therapies The other doctors practice-focus includes wom-enrsquos health including fertility pre-natal care and hormone testing children and menrsquos health digestive health and food intoler-ance testing All the practitioners work together with the patient to develop the right strategy and approach for each unique circumstance

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat patients as individuals by addressing the physical environmental lifestyle attitudi-nal and emotional aspects of health This allows NDs to find and treat the cause of disease using natural therapies The goal is to address the cause of the illness rather than simply treating or suppressing the symptoms Both NDs and MDs provide primary care and both are similarly trained The primary difference between the two lies

in the philosophical approach and therapies used Naturopathic medicine can be used to treat all forms of health concerns whether itrsquos pediatric geriatric chronic illness or even psychological Naturopathy is a great option for those patients looking for dis-ease prevention strategies or those looking to combine conventional and naturopathic treatments with the aim of minimizing side effects of drugs surgery or conventional treatments At The Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic the Naturopathic Doctor will choose the natural medicines and ther-apies that are safe and effective with the goal of increasing your health and decreas-ing harmful side effects Their team is eager to continue helping patients with a natural lifestyle friendly approach

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

Facing a hearing loss was unexpected and devastating but it has molded me into the Hearing Practitioner I am today Irsquove learned so much from my own experience

I woke up to a hearing loss in my right ear around 11 years ago Working in the field I always thought I would know how to handle a hearing loss of my own if it ever occurred ldquowhen I was olderrdquo I never thought that at 27 I would be facing it My emotions were a kaleidoscope to be honest I was angry embarrassed and afraid

Coming to terms with my own hearing loss has made my life so much easier Situations are not as stressful and I just feel happier It has empowered me to connect with my patients on an entirely new level When we opened Quality Care Hearing it wasnrsquot about prescribing hearing aids it was about making people of all ages who live with hearing loss understand it embrace it and feel confident and happy again

MORE AND MORE PEOPLE are choosing Naturopathy as their preferred method of treatment - and for good rea-son At The Optimum Wellness Clinic we are Edmontonrsquos Top alternative health clinic and are proud to offer Naturopathic treatment and therapies to patients After graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario in 2000 as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine with two clinical excellence awards Dr AJ DeNault founded Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic and has continued to widen the clinicrsquos scope of practice and naturopathic knowledge base Prior to his Naturopathic studies Dr DeNault prac-ticed pharmacy in both Alberta and Ontario for over 25 years This pharmacy back-ground aids in assessing and preventing possible interactions between conventional and natural medicines and treatments that various patients may be taking at various stages of treatment

So what is Naturopathic medicine And who could benefit from it It is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with tradi-tional and natural forms of medicines It is

based on the healing power of nature and it supports and stimulates the bodyrsquos abil-ity to heal itself Natural therapies such as botanical medicine clinical nutrition tra-ditional Chinese medicine and more are used in disease diagnosis treatment and prevention Dr DeNaultrsquos practice-focus includes cancer care with hyperthermia and various IV and injection therapies The other doctors practice-focus includes wom-enrsquos health including fertility pre-natal care and hormone testing children and menrsquos health digestive health and food intoler-ance testing All the practitioners work together with the patient to develop the right strategy and approach for each unique circumstance

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat patients as individuals by addressing the physical environmental lifestyle attitudi-nal and emotional aspects of health This allows NDs to find and treat the cause of disease using natural therapies The goal is to address the cause of the illness rather than simply treating or suppressing the symptoms Both NDs and MDs provide primary care and both are similarly trained The primary difference between the two lies

in the philosophical approach and therapies used Naturopathic medicine can be used to treat all forms of health concerns whether itrsquos pediatric geriatric chronic illness or even psychological Naturopathy is a great option for those patients looking for dis-ease prevention strategies or those looking to combine conventional and naturopathic treatments with the aim of minimizing side effects of drugs surgery or conventional treatments At The Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic the Naturopathic Doctor will choose the natural medicines and ther-apies that are safe and effective with the goal of increasing your health and decreas-ing harmful side effects Their team is eager to continue helping patients with a natural lifestyle friendly approach

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

Facing a hearing loss was unexpected and devastating but it has molded me into the Hearing Practitioner I am today Irsquove learned so much from my own experience

I woke up to a hearing loss in my right ear around 11 years ago Working in the field I always thought I would know how to handle a hearing loss of my own if it ever occurred ldquowhen I was olderrdquo I never thought that at 27 I would be facing it My emotions were a kaleidoscope to be honest I was angry embarrassed and afraid

Coming to terms with my own hearing loss has made my life so much easier Situations are not as stressful and I just feel happier It has empowered me to connect with my patients on an entirely new level When we opened Quality Care Hearing it wasnrsquot about prescribing hearing aids it was about making people of all ages who live with hearing loss understand it embrace it and feel confident and happy again

MORE AND MORE PEOPLE are choosing Naturopathy as their preferred method of treatment - and for good rea-son At The Optimum Wellness Clinic we are Edmontonrsquos Top alternative health clinic and are proud to offer Naturopathic treatment and therapies to patients After graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario in 2000 as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine with two clinical excellence awards Dr AJ DeNault founded Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic and has continued to widen the clinicrsquos scope of practice and naturopathic knowledge base Prior to his Naturopathic studies Dr DeNault prac-ticed pharmacy in both Alberta and Ontario for over 25 years This pharmacy back-ground aids in assessing and preventing possible interactions between conventional and natural medicines and treatments that various patients may be taking at various stages of treatment

So what is Naturopathic medicine And who could benefit from it It is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with tradi-tional and natural forms of medicines It is

based on the healing power of nature and it supports and stimulates the bodyrsquos abil-ity to heal itself Natural therapies such as botanical medicine clinical nutrition tra-ditional Chinese medicine and more are used in disease diagnosis treatment and prevention Dr DeNaultrsquos practice-focus includes cancer care with hyperthermia and various IV and injection therapies The other doctors practice-focus includes wom-enrsquos health including fertility pre-natal care and hormone testing children and menrsquos health digestive health and food intoler-ance testing All the practitioners work together with the patient to develop the right strategy and approach for each unique circumstance

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat patients as individuals by addressing the physical environmental lifestyle attitudi-nal and emotional aspects of health This allows NDs to find and treat the cause of disease using natural therapies The goal is to address the cause of the illness rather than simply treating or suppressing the symptoms Both NDs and MDs provide primary care and both are similarly trained The primary difference between the two lies

in the philosophical approach and therapies used Naturopathic medicine can be used to treat all forms of health concerns whether itrsquos pediatric geriatric chronic illness or even psychological Naturopathy is a great option for those patients looking for dis-ease prevention strategies or those looking to combine conventional and naturopathic treatments with the aim of minimizing side effects of drugs surgery or conventional treatments At The Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic the Naturopathic Doctor will choose the natural medicines and ther-apies that are safe and effective with the goal of increasing your health and decreas-ing harmful side effects Their team is eager to continue helping patients with a natural lifestyle friendly approach

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

Facing a hearing loss was unexpected and devastating but it has molded me into the Hearing Practitioner I am today Irsquove learned so much from my own experience

I woke up to a hearing loss in my right ear around 11 years ago Working in the field I always thought I would know how to handle a hearing loss of my own if it ever occurred ldquowhen I was olderrdquo I never thought that at 27 I would be facing it My emotions were a kaleidoscope to be honest I was angry embarrassed and afraid

Coming to terms with my own hearing loss has made my life so much easier Situations are not as stressful and I just feel happier It has empowered me to connect with my patients on an entirely new level When we opened Quality Care Hearing it wasnrsquot about prescribing hearing aids it was about making people of all ages who live with hearing loss understand it embrace it and feel confident and happy again

MORE AND MORE PEOPLE are choosing Naturopathy as their preferred method of treatment - and for good rea-son At The Optimum Wellness Clinic we are Edmontonrsquos Top alternative health clinic and are proud to offer Naturopathic treatment and therapies to patients After graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario in 2000 as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine with two clinical excellence awards Dr AJ DeNault founded Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic and has continued to widen the clinicrsquos scope of practice and naturopathic knowledge base Prior to his Naturopathic studies Dr DeNault prac-ticed pharmacy in both Alberta and Ontario for over 25 years This pharmacy back-ground aids in assessing and preventing possible interactions between conventional and natural medicines and treatments that various patients may be taking at various stages of treatment

So what is Naturopathic medicine And who could benefit from it It is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with tradi-tional and natural forms of medicines It is

based on the healing power of nature and it supports and stimulates the bodyrsquos abil-ity to heal itself Natural therapies such as botanical medicine clinical nutrition tra-ditional Chinese medicine and more are used in disease diagnosis treatment and prevention Dr DeNaultrsquos practice-focus includes cancer care with hyperthermia and various IV and injection therapies The other doctors practice-focus includes wom-enrsquos health including fertility pre-natal care and hormone testing children and menrsquos health digestive health and food intoler-ance testing All the practitioners work together with the patient to develop the right strategy and approach for each unique circumstance

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat patients as individuals by addressing the physical environmental lifestyle attitudi-nal and emotional aspects of health This allows NDs to find and treat the cause of disease using natural therapies The goal is to address the cause of the illness rather than simply treating or suppressing the symptoms Both NDs and MDs provide primary care and both are similarly trained The primary difference between the two lies

in the philosophical approach and therapies used Naturopathic medicine can be used to treat all forms of health concerns whether itrsquos pediatric geriatric chronic illness or even psychological Naturopathy is a great option for those patients looking for dis-ease prevention strategies or those looking to combine conventional and naturopathic treatments with the aim of minimizing side effects of drugs surgery or conventional treatments At The Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic the Naturopathic Doctor will choose the natural medicines and ther-apies that are safe and effective with the goal of increasing your health and decreas-ing harmful side effects Their team is eager to continue helping patients with a natural lifestyle friendly approach

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

Facing a hearing loss was unexpected and devastating but it has molded me into the Hearing Practitioner I am today Irsquove learned so much from my own experience

I woke up to a hearing loss in my right ear around 11 years ago Working in the field I always thought I would know how to handle a hearing loss of my own if it ever occurred ldquowhen I was olderrdquo I never thought that at 27 I would be facing it My emotions were a kaleidoscope to be honest I was angry embarrassed and afraid

Coming to terms with my own hearing loss has made my life so much easier Situations are not as stressful and I just feel happier It has empowered me to connect with my patients on an entirely new level When we opened Quality Care Hearing it wasnrsquot about prescribing hearing aids it was about making people of all ages who live with hearing loss understand it embrace it and feel confident and happy again

MORE AND MORE PEOPLE are choosing Naturopathy as their preferred method of treatment - and for good rea-son At The Optimum Wellness Clinic we are Edmontonrsquos Top alternative health clinic and are proud to offer Naturopathic treatment and therapies to patients After graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario in 2000 as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine with two clinical excellence awards Dr AJ DeNault founded Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic and has continued to widen the clinicrsquos scope of practice and naturopathic knowledge base Prior to his Naturopathic studies Dr DeNault prac-ticed pharmacy in both Alberta and Ontario for over 25 years This pharmacy back-ground aids in assessing and preventing possible interactions between conventional and natural medicines and treatments that various patients may be taking at various stages of treatment

So what is Naturopathic medicine And who could benefit from it It is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with tradi-tional and natural forms of medicines It is

based on the healing power of nature and it supports and stimulates the bodyrsquos abil-ity to heal itself Natural therapies such as botanical medicine clinical nutrition tra-ditional Chinese medicine and more are used in disease diagnosis treatment and prevention Dr DeNaultrsquos practice-focus includes cancer care with hyperthermia and various IV and injection therapies The other doctors practice-focus includes wom-enrsquos health including fertility pre-natal care and hormone testing children and menrsquos health digestive health and food intoler-ance testing All the practitioners work together with the patient to develop the right strategy and approach for each unique circumstance

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat patients as individuals by addressing the physical environmental lifestyle attitudi-nal and emotional aspects of health This allows NDs to find and treat the cause of disease using natural therapies The goal is to address the cause of the illness rather than simply treating or suppressing the symptoms Both NDs and MDs provide primary care and both are similarly trained The primary difference between the two lies

in the philosophical approach and therapies used Naturopathic medicine can be used to treat all forms of health concerns whether itrsquos pediatric geriatric chronic illness or even psychological Naturopathy is a great option for those patients looking for dis-ease prevention strategies or those looking to combine conventional and naturopathic treatments with the aim of minimizing side effects of drugs surgery or conventional treatments At The Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic the Naturopathic Doctor will choose the natural medicines and ther-apies that are safe and effective with the goal of increasing your health and decreas-ing harmful side effects Their team is eager to continue helping patients with a natural lifestyle friendly approach

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

Facing a hearing loss was unexpected and devastating but it has molded me into the Hearing Practitioner I am today Irsquove learned so much from my own experience

I woke up to a hearing loss in my right ear around 11 years ago Working in the field I always thought I would know how to handle a hearing loss of my own if it ever occurred ldquowhen I was olderrdquo I never thought that at 27 I would be facing it My emotions were a kaleidoscope to be honest I was angry embarrassed and afraid

Coming to terms with my own hearing loss has made my life so much easier Situations are not as stressful and I just feel happier It has empowered me to connect with my patients on an entirely new level When we opened Quality Care Hearing it wasnrsquot about prescribing hearing aids it was about making people of all ages who live with hearing loss understand it embrace it and feel confident and happy again

MORE AND MORE PEOPLE are choosing Naturopathy as their preferred method of treatment - and for good rea-son At The Optimum Wellness Clinic we are Edmontonrsquos Top alternative health clinic and are proud to offer Naturopathic treatment and therapies to patients After graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario in 2000 as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine with two clinical excellence awards Dr AJ DeNault founded Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic and has continued to widen the clinicrsquos scope of practice and naturopathic knowledge base Prior to his Naturopathic studies Dr DeNault prac-ticed pharmacy in both Alberta and Ontario for over 25 years This pharmacy back-ground aids in assessing and preventing possible interactions between conventional and natural medicines and treatments that various patients may be taking at various stages of treatment

So what is Naturopathic medicine And who could benefit from it It is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with tradi-tional and natural forms of medicines It is

based on the healing power of nature and it supports and stimulates the bodyrsquos abil-ity to heal itself Natural therapies such as botanical medicine clinical nutrition tra-ditional Chinese medicine and more are used in disease diagnosis treatment and prevention Dr DeNaultrsquos practice-focus includes cancer care with hyperthermia and various IV and injection therapies The other doctors practice-focus includes wom-enrsquos health including fertility pre-natal care and hormone testing children and menrsquos health digestive health and food intoler-ance testing All the practitioners work together with the patient to develop the right strategy and approach for each unique circumstance

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat patients as individuals by addressing the physical environmental lifestyle attitudi-nal and emotional aspects of health This allows NDs to find and treat the cause of disease using natural therapies The goal is to address the cause of the illness rather than simply treating or suppressing the symptoms Both NDs and MDs provide primary care and both are similarly trained The primary difference between the two lies

in the philosophical approach and therapies used Naturopathic medicine can be used to treat all forms of health concerns whether itrsquos pediatric geriatric chronic illness or even psychological Naturopathy is a great option for those patients looking for dis-ease prevention strategies or those looking to combine conventional and naturopathic treatments with the aim of minimizing side effects of drugs surgery or conventional treatments At The Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic the Naturopathic Doctor will choose the natural medicines and ther-apies that are safe and effective with the goal of increasing your health and decreas-ing harmful side effects Their team is eager to continue helping patients with a natural lifestyle friendly approach

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

Facing a hearing loss was unexpected and devastating but it has molded me into the Hearing Practitioner I am today Irsquove learned so much from my own experience

I woke up to a hearing loss in my right ear around 11 years ago Working in the field I always thought I would know how to handle a hearing loss of my own if it ever occurred ldquowhen I was olderrdquo I never thought that at 27 I would be facing it My emotions were a kaleidoscope to be honest I was angry embarrassed and afraid

Coming to terms with my own hearing loss has made my life so much easier Situations are not as stressful and I just feel happier It has empowered me to connect with my patients on an entirely new level When we opened Quality Care Hearing it wasnrsquot about prescribing hearing aids it was about making people of all ages who live with hearing loss understand it embrace it and feel confident and happy again

MORE AND MORE PEOPLE are choosing Naturopathy as their preferred method of treatment - and for good rea-son At The Optimum Wellness Clinic we are Edmontonrsquos Top alternative health clinic and are proud to offer Naturopathic treatment and therapies to patients After graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario in 2000 as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine with two clinical excellence awards Dr AJ DeNault founded Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic and has continued to widen the clinicrsquos scope of practice and naturopathic knowledge base Prior to his Naturopathic studies Dr DeNault prac-ticed pharmacy in both Alberta and Ontario for over 25 years This pharmacy back-ground aids in assessing and preventing possible interactions between conventional and natural medicines and treatments that various patients may be taking at various stages of treatment

So what is Naturopathic medicine And who could benefit from it It is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with tradi-tional and natural forms of medicines It is

based on the healing power of nature and it supports and stimulates the bodyrsquos abil-ity to heal itself Natural therapies such as botanical medicine clinical nutrition tra-ditional Chinese medicine and more are used in disease diagnosis treatment and prevention Dr DeNaultrsquos practice-focus includes cancer care with hyperthermia and various IV and injection therapies The other doctors practice-focus includes wom-enrsquos health including fertility pre-natal care and hormone testing children and menrsquos health digestive health and food intoler-ance testing All the practitioners work together with the patient to develop the right strategy and approach for each unique circumstance

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat patients as individuals by addressing the physical environmental lifestyle attitudi-nal and emotional aspects of health This allows NDs to find and treat the cause of disease using natural therapies The goal is to address the cause of the illness rather than simply treating or suppressing the symptoms Both NDs and MDs provide primary care and both are similarly trained The primary difference between the two lies

in the philosophical approach and therapies used Naturopathic medicine can be used to treat all forms of health concerns whether itrsquos pediatric geriatric chronic illness or even psychological Naturopathy is a great option for those patients looking for dis-ease prevention strategies or those looking to combine conventional and naturopathic treatments with the aim of minimizing side effects of drugs surgery or conventional treatments At The Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic the Naturopathic Doctor will choose the natural medicines and ther-apies that are safe and effective with the goal of increasing your health and decreas-ing harmful side effects Their team is eager to continue helping patients with a natural lifestyle friendly approach

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

Facing a hearing loss was unexpected and devastating but it has molded me into the Hearing Practitioner I am today Irsquove learned so much from my own experience

I woke up to a hearing loss in my right ear around 11 years ago Working in the field I always thought I would know how to handle a hearing loss of my own if it ever occurred ldquowhen I was olderrdquo I never thought that at 27 I would be facing it My emotions were a kaleidoscope to be honest I was angry embarrassed and afraid

Coming to terms with my own hearing loss has made my life so much easier Situations are not as stressful and I just feel happier It has empowered me to connect with my patients on an entirely new level When we opened Quality Care Hearing it wasnrsquot about prescribing hearing aids it was about making people of all ages who live with hearing loss understand it embrace it and feel confident and happy again

MORE AND MORE PEOPLE are choosing Naturopathy as their preferred method of treatment - and for good rea-son At The Optimum Wellness Clinic we are Edmontonrsquos Top alternative health clinic and are proud to offer Naturopathic treatment and therapies to patients After graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario in 2000 as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine with two clinical excellence awards Dr AJ DeNault founded Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic and has continued to widen the clinicrsquos scope of practice and naturopathic knowledge base Prior to his Naturopathic studies Dr DeNault prac-ticed pharmacy in both Alberta and Ontario for over 25 years This pharmacy back-ground aids in assessing and preventing possible interactions between conventional and natural medicines and treatments that various patients may be taking at various stages of treatment

So what is Naturopathic medicine And who could benefit from it It is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with tradi-tional and natural forms of medicines It is

based on the healing power of nature and it supports and stimulates the bodyrsquos abil-ity to heal itself Natural therapies such as botanical medicine clinical nutrition tra-ditional Chinese medicine and more are used in disease diagnosis treatment and prevention Dr DeNaultrsquos practice-focus includes cancer care with hyperthermia and various IV and injection therapies The other doctors practice-focus includes wom-enrsquos health including fertility pre-natal care and hormone testing children and menrsquos health digestive health and food intoler-ance testing All the practitioners work together with the patient to develop the right strategy and approach for each unique circumstance

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat patients as individuals by addressing the physical environmental lifestyle attitudi-nal and emotional aspects of health This allows NDs to find and treat the cause of disease using natural therapies The goal is to address the cause of the illness rather than simply treating or suppressing the symptoms Both NDs and MDs provide primary care and both are similarly trained The primary difference between the two lies

in the philosophical approach and therapies used Naturopathic medicine can be used to treat all forms of health concerns whether itrsquos pediatric geriatric chronic illness or even psychological Naturopathy is a great option for those patients looking for dis-ease prevention strategies or those looking to combine conventional and naturopathic treatments with the aim of minimizing side effects of drugs surgery or conventional treatments At The Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic the Naturopathic Doctor will choose the natural medicines and ther-apies that are safe and effective with the goal of increasing your health and decreas-ing harmful side effects Their team is eager to continue helping patients with a natural lifestyle friendly approach

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

Facing a hearing loss was unexpected and devastating but it has molded me into the Hearing Practitioner I am today Irsquove learned so much from my own experience

I woke up to a hearing loss in my right ear around 11 years ago Working in the field I always thought I would know how to handle a hearing loss of my own if it ever occurred ldquowhen I was olderrdquo I never thought that at 27 I would be facing it My emotions were a kaleidoscope to be honest I was angry embarrassed and afraid

Coming to terms with my own hearing loss has made my life so much easier Situations are not as stressful and I just feel happier It has empowered me to connect with my patients on an entirely new level When we opened Quality Care Hearing it wasnrsquot about prescribing hearing aids it was about making people of all ages who live with hearing loss understand it embrace it and feel confident and happy again

MORE AND MORE PEOPLE are choosing Naturopathy as their preferred method of treatment - and for good rea-son At The Optimum Wellness Clinic we are Edmontonrsquos Top alternative health clinic and are proud to offer Naturopathic treatment and therapies to patients After graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario in 2000 as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine with two clinical excellence awards Dr AJ DeNault founded Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic and has continued to widen the clinicrsquos scope of practice and naturopathic knowledge base Prior to his Naturopathic studies Dr DeNault prac-ticed pharmacy in both Alberta and Ontario for over 25 years This pharmacy back-ground aids in assessing and preventing possible interactions between conventional and natural medicines and treatments that various patients may be taking at various stages of treatment

So what is Naturopathic medicine And who could benefit from it It is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with tradi-tional and natural forms of medicines It is

based on the healing power of nature and it supports and stimulates the bodyrsquos abil-ity to heal itself Natural therapies such as botanical medicine clinical nutrition tra-ditional Chinese medicine and more are used in disease diagnosis treatment and prevention Dr DeNaultrsquos practice-focus includes cancer care with hyperthermia and various IV and injection therapies The other doctors practice-focus includes wom-enrsquos health including fertility pre-natal care and hormone testing children and menrsquos health digestive health and food intoler-ance testing All the practitioners work together with the patient to develop the right strategy and approach for each unique circumstance

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat patients as individuals by addressing the physical environmental lifestyle attitudi-nal and emotional aspects of health This allows NDs to find and treat the cause of disease using natural therapies The goal is to address the cause of the illness rather than simply treating or suppressing the symptoms Both NDs and MDs provide primary care and both are similarly trained The primary difference between the two lies

in the philosophical approach and therapies used Naturopathic medicine can be used to treat all forms of health concerns whether itrsquos pediatric geriatric chronic illness or even psychological Naturopathy is a great option for those patients looking for dis-ease prevention strategies or those looking to combine conventional and naturopathic treatments with the aim of minimizing side effects of drugs surgery or conventional treatments At The Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic the Naturopathic Doctor will choose the natural medicines and ther-apies that are safe and effective with the goal of increasing your health and decreas-ing harmful side effects Their team is eager to continue helping patients with a natural lifestyle friendly approach

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

Facing a hearing loss was unexpected and devastating but it has molded me into the Hearing Practitioner I am today Irsquove learned so much from my own experience

I woke up to a hearing loss in my right ear around 11 years ago Working in the field I always thought I would know how to handle a hearing loss of my own if it ever occurred ldquowhen I was olderrdquo I never thought that at 27 I would be facing it My emotions were a kaleidoscope to be honest I was angry embarrassed and afraid

Coming to terms with my own hearing loss has made my life so much easier Situations are not as stressful and I just feel happier It has empowered me to connect with my patients on an entirely new level When we opened Quality Care Hearing it wasnrsquot about prescribing hearing aids it was about making people of all ages who live with hearing loss understand it embrace it and feel confident and happy again

MORE AND MORE PEOPLE are choosing Naturopathy as their preferred method of treatment - and for good rea-son At The Optimum Wellness Clinic we are Edmontonrsquos Top alternative health clinic and are proud to offer Naturopathic treatment and therapies to patients After graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario in 2000 as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine with two clinical excellence awards Dr AJ DeNault founded Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic and has continued to widen the clinicrsquos scope of practice and naturopathic knowledge base Prior to his Naturopathic studies Dr DeNault prac-ticed pharmacy in both Alberta and Ontario for over 25 years This pharmacy back-ground aids in assessing and preventing possible interactions between conventional and natural medicines and treatments that various patients may be taking at various stages of treatment

So what is Naturopathic medicine And who could benefit from it It is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with tradi-tional and natural forms of medicines It is

based on the healing power of nature and it supports and stimulates the bodyrsquos abil-ity to heal itself Natural therapies such as botanical medicine clinical nutrition tra-ditional Chinese medicine and more are used in disease diagnosis treatment and prevention Dr DeNaultrsquos practice-focus includes cancer care with hyperthermia and various IV and injection therapies The other doctors practice-focus includes wom-enrsquos health including fertility pre-natal care and hormone testing children and menrsquos health digestive health and food intoler-ance testing All the practitioners work together with the patient to develop the right strategy and approach for each unique circumstance

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat patients as individuals by addressing the physical environmental lifestyle attitudi-nal and emotional aspects of health This allows NDs to find and treat the cause of disease using natural therapies The goal is to address the cause of the illness rather than simply treating or suppressing the symptoms Both NDs and MDs provide primary care and both are similarly trained The primary difference between the two lies

in the philosophical approach and therapies used Naturopathic medicine can be used to treat all forms of health concerns whether itrsquos pediatric geriatric chronic illness or even psychological Naturopathy is a great option for those patients looking for dis-ease prevention strategies or those looking to combine conventional and naturopathic treatments with the aim of minimizing side effects of drugs surgery or conventional treatments At The Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic the Naturopathic Doctor will choose the natural medicines and ther-apies that are safe and effective with the goal of increasing your health and decreas-ing harmful side effects Their team is eager to continue helping patients with a natural lifestyle friendly approach

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

Facing a hearing loss was unexpected and devastating but it has molded me into the Hearing Practitioner I am today Irsquove learned so much from my own experience

I woke up to a hearing loss in my right ear around 11 years ago Working in the field I always thought I would know how to handle a hearing loss of my own if it ever occurred ldquowhen I was olderrdquo I never thought that at 27 I would be facing it My emotions were a kaleidoscope to be honest I was angry embarrassed and afraid

Coming to terms with my own hearing loss has made my life so much easier Situations are not as stressful and I just feel happier It has empowered me to connect with my patients on an entirely new level When we opened Quality Care Hearing it wasnrsquot about prescribing hearing aids it was about making people of all ages who live with hearing loss understand it embrace it and feel confident and happy again

MORE AND MORE PEOPLE are choosing Naturopathy as their preferred method of treatment - and for good rea-son At The Optimum Wellness Clinic we are Edmontonrsquos Top alternative health clinic and are proud to offer Naturopathic treatment and therapies to patients After graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario in 2000 as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine with two clinical excellence awards Dr AJ DeNault founded Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic and has continued to widen the clinicrsquos scope of practice and naturopathic knowledge base Prior to his Naturopathic studies Dr DeNault prac-ticed pharmacy in both Alberta and Ontario for over 25 years This pharmacy back-ground aids in assessing and preventing possible interactions between conventional and natural medicines and treatments that various patients may be taking at various stages of treatment

So what is Naturopathic medicine And who could benefit from it It is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with tradi-tional and natural forms of medicines It is

based on the healing power of nature and it supports and stimulates the bodyrsquos abil-ity to heal itself Natural therapies such as botanical medicine clinical nutrition tra-ditional Chinese medicine and more are used in disease diagnosis treatment and prevention Dr DeNaultrsquos practice-focus includes cancer care with hyperthermia and various IV and injection therapies The other doctors practice-focus includes wom-enrsquos health including fertility pre-natal care and hormone testing children and menrsquos health digestive health and food intoler-ance testing All the practitioners work together with the patient to develop the right strategy and approach for each unique circumstance

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat patients as individuals by addressing the physical environmental lifestyle attitudi-nal and emotional aspects of health This allows NDs to find and treat the cause of disease using natural therapies The goal is to address the cause of the illness rather than simply treating or suppressing the symptoms Both NDs and MDs provide primary care and both are similarly trained The primary difference between the two lies

in the philosophical approach and therapies used Naturopathic medicine can be used to treat all forms of health concerns whether itrsquos pediatric geriatric chronic illness or even psychological Naturopathy is a great option for those patients looking for dis-ease prevention strategies or those looking to combine conventional and naturopathic treatments with the aim of minimizing side effects of drugs surgery or conventional treatments At The Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic the Naturopathic Doctor will choose the natural medicines and ther-apies that are safe and effective with the goal of increasing your health and decreas-ing harmful side effects Their team is eager to continue helping patients with a natural lifestyle friendly approach

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

Facing a hearing loss was unexpected and devastating but it has molded me into the Hearing Practitioner I am today Irsquove learned so much from my own experience

I woke up to a hearing loss in my right ear around 11 years ago Working in the field I always thought I would know how to handle a hearing loss of my own if it ever occurred ldquowhen I was olderrdquo I never thought that at 27 I would be facing it My emotions were a kaleidoscope to be honest I was angry embarrassed and afraid

Coming to terms with my own hearing loss has made my life so much easier Situations are not as stressful and I just feel happier It has empowered me to connect with my patients on an entirely new level When we opened Quality Care Hearing it wasnrsquot about prescribing hearing aids it was about making people of all ages who live with hearing loss understand it embrace it and feel confident and happy again

MORE AND MORE PEOPLE are choosing Naturopathy as their preferred method of treatment - and for good rea-son At The Optimum Wellness Clinic we are Edmontonrsquos Top alternative health clinic and are proud to offer Naturopathic treatment and therapies to patients After graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario in 2000 as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine with two clinical excellence awards Dr AJ DeNault founded Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic and has continued to widen the clinicrsquos scope of practice and naturopathic knowledge base Prior to his Naturopathic studies Dr DeNault prac-ticed pharmacy in both Alberta and Ontario for over 25 years This pharmacy back-ground aids in assessing and preventing possible interactions between conventional and natural medicines and treatments that various patients may be taking at various stages of treatment

So what is Naturopathic medicine And who could benefit from it It is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with tradi-tional and natural forms of medicines It is

based on the healing power of nature and it supports and stimulates the bodyrsquos abil-ity to heal itself Natural therapies such as botanical medicine clinical nutrition tra-ditional Chinese medicine and more are used in disease diagnosis treatment and prevention Dr DeNaultrsquos practice-focus includes cancer care with hyperthermia and various IV and injection therapies The other doctors practice-focus includes wom-enrsquos health including fertility pre-natal care and hormone testing children and menrsquos health digestive health and food intoler-ance testing All the practitioners work together with the patient to develop the right strategy and approach for each unique circumstance

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat patients as individuals by addressing the physical environmental lifestyle attitudi-nal and emotional aspects of health This allows NDs to find and treat the cause of disease using natural therapies The goal is to address the cause of the illness rather than simply treating or suppressing the symptoms Both NDs and MDs provide primary care and both are similarly trained The primary difference between the two lies

in the philosophical approach and therapies used Naturopathic medicine can be used to treat all forms of health concerns whether itrsquos pediatric geriatric chronic illness or even psychological Naturopathy is a great option for those patients looking for dis-ease prevention strategies or those looking to combine conventional and naturopathic treatments with the aim of minimizing side effects of drugs surgery or conventional treatments At The Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic the Naturopathic Doctor will choose the natural medicines and ther-apies that are safe and effective with the goal of increasing your health and decreas-ing harmful side effects Their team is eager to continue helping patients with a natural lifestyle friendly approach

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

Facing a hearing loss was unexpected and devastating but it has molded me into the Hearing Practitioner I am today Irsquove learned so much from my own experience

I woke up to a hearing loss in my right ear around 11 years ago Working in the field I always thought I would know how to handle a hearing loss of my own if it ever occurred ldquowhen I was olderrdquo I never thought that at 27 I would be facing it My emotions were a kaleidoscope to be honest I was angry embarrassed and afraid

Coming to terms with my own hearing loss has made my life so much easier Situations are not as stressful and I just feel happier It has empowered me to connect with my patients on an entirely new level When we opened Quality Care Hearing it wasnrsquot about prescribing hearing aids it was about making people of all ages who live with hearing loss understand it embrace it and feel confident and happy again

MORE AND MORE PEOPLE are choosing Naturopathy as their preferred method of treatment - and for good rea-son At The Optimum Wellness Clinic we are Edmontonrsquos Top alternative health clinic and are proud to offer Naturopathic treatment and therapies to patients After graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario in 2000 as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine with two clinical excellence awards Dr AJ DeNault founded Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic and has continued to widen the clinicrsquos scope of practice and naturopathic knowledge base Prior to his Naturopathic studies Dr DeNault prac-ticed pharmacy in both Alberta and Ontario for over 25 years This pharmacy back-ground aids in assessing and preventing possible interactions between conventional and natural medicines and treatments that various patients may be taking at various stages of treatment

So what is Naturopathic medicine And who could benefit from it It is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with tradi-tional and natural forms of medicines It is

based on the healing power of nature and it supports and stimulates the bodyrsquos abil-ity to heal itself Natural therapies such as botanical medicine clinical nutrition tra-ditional Chinese medicine and more are used in disease diagnosis treatment and prevention Dr DeNaultrsquos practice-focus includes cancer care with hyperthermia and various IV and injection therapies The other doctors practice-focus includes wom-enrsquos health including fertility pre-natal care and hormone testing children and menrsquos health digestive health and food intoler-ance testing All the practitioners work together with the patient to develop the right strategy and approach for each unique circumstance

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat patients as individuals by addressing the physical environmental lifestyle attitudi-nal and emotional aspects of health This allows NDs to find and treat the cause of disease using natural therapies The goal is to address the cause of the illness rather than simply treating or suppressing the symptoms Both NDs and MDs provide primary care and both are similarly trained The primary difference between the two lies

in the philosophical approach and therapies used Naturopathic medicine can be used to treat all forms of health concerns whether itrsquos pediatric geriatric chronic illness or even psychological Naturopathy is a great option for those patients looking for dis-ease prevention strategies or those looking to combine conventional and naturopathic treatments with the aim of minimizing side effects of drugs surgery or conventional treatments At The Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic the Naturopathic Doctor will choose the natural medicines and ther-apies that are safe and effective with the goal of increasing your health and decreas-ing harmful side effects Their team is eager to continue helping patients with a natural lifestyle friendly approach

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

Facing a hearing loss was unexpected and devastating but it has molded me into the Hearing Practitioner I am today Irsquove learned so much from my own experience

I woke up to a hearing loss in my right ear around 11 years ago Working in the field I always thought I would know how to handle a hearing loss of my own if it ever occurred ldquowhen I was olderrdquo I never thought that at 27 I would be facing it My emotions were a kaleidoscope to be honest I was angry embarrassed and afraid

Coming to terms with my own hearing loss has made my life so much easier Situations are not as stressful and I just feel happier It has empowered me to connect with my patients on an entirely new level When we opened Quality Care Hearing it wasnrsquot about prescribing hearing aids it was about making people of all ages who live with hearing loss understand it embrace it and feel confident and happy again

MORE AND MORE PEOPLE are choosing Naturopathy as their preferred method of treatment - and for good rea-son At The Optimum Wellness Clinic we are Edmontonrsquos Top alternative health clinic and are proud to offer Naturopathic treatment and therapies to patients After graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario in 2000 as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine with two clinical excellence awards Dr AJ DeNault founded Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic and has continued to widen the clinicrsquos scope of practice and naturopathic knowledge base Prior to his Naturopathic studies Dr DeNault prac-ticed pharmacy in both Alberta and Ontario for over 25 years This pharmacy back-ground aids in assessing and preventing possible interactions between conventional and natural medicines and treatments that various patients may be taking at various stages of treatment

So what is Naturopathic medicine And who could benefit from it It is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with tradi-tional and natural forms of medicines It is

based on the healing power of nature and it supports and stimulates the bodyrsquos abil-ity to heal itself Natural therapies such as botanical medicine clinical nutrition tra-ditional Chinese medicine and more are used in disease diagnosis treatment and prevention Dr DeNaultrsquos practice-focus includes cancer care with hyperthermia and various IV and injection therapies The other doctors practice-focus includes wom-enrsquos health including fertility pre-natal care and hormone testing children and menrsquos health digestive health and food intoler-ance testing All the practitioners work together with the patient to develop the right strategy and approach for each unique circumstance

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat patients as individuals by addressing the physical environmental lifestyle attitudi-nal and emotional aspects of health This allows NDs to find and treat the cause of disease using natural therapies The goal is to address the cause of the illness rather than simply treating or suppressing the symptoms Both NDs and MDs provide primary care and both are similarly trained The primary difference between the two lies

in the philosophical approach and therapies used Naturopathic medicine can be used to treat all forms of health concerns whether itrsquos pediatric geriatric chronic illness or even psychological Naturopathy is a great option for those patients looking for dis-ease prevention strategies or those looking to combine conventional and naturopathic treatments with the aim of minimizing side effects of drugs surgery or conventional treatments At The Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic the Naturopathic Doctor will choose the natural medicines and ther-apies that are safe and effective with the goal of increasing your health and decreas-ing harmful side effects Their team is eager to continue helping patients with a natural lifestyle friendly approach

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

MORE AND MORE PEOPLE are choosing Naturopathy as their preferred method of treatment - and for good rea-son At The Optimum Wellness Clinic we are Edmontonrsquos Top alternative health clinic and are proud to offer Naturopathic treatment and therapies to patients After graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario in 2000 as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine with two clinical excellence awards Dr AJ DeNault founded Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic and has continued to widen the clinicrsquos scope of practice and naturopathic knowledge base Prior to his Naturopathic studies Dr DeNault prac-ticed pharmacy in both Alberta and Ontario for over 25 years This pharmacy back-ground aids in assessing and preventing possible interactions between conventional and natural medicines and treatments that various patients may be taking at various stages of treatment

So what is Naturopathic medicine And who could benefit from it It is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with tradi-tional and natural forms of medicines It is

based on the healing power of nature and it supports and stimulates the bodyrsquos abil-ity to heal itself Natural therapies such as botanical medicine clinical nutrition tra-ditional Chinese medicine and more are used in disease diagnosis treatment and prevention Dr DeNaultrsquos practice-focus includes cancer care with hyperthermia and various IV and injection therapies The other doctors practice-focus includes wom-enrsquos health including fertility pre-natal care and hormone testing children and menrsquos health digestive health and food intoler-ance testing All the practitioners work together with the patient to develop the right strategy and approach for each unique circumstance

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat patients as individuals by addressing the physical environmental lifestyle attitudi-nal and emotional aspects of health This allows NDs to find and treat the cause of disease using natural therapies The goal is to address the cause of the illness rather than simply treating or suppressing the symptoms Both NDs and MDs provide primary care and both are similarly trained The primary difference between the two lies

in the philosophical approach and therapies used Naturopathic medicine can be used to treat all forms of health concerns whether itrsquos pediatric geriatric chronic illness or even psychological Naturopathy is a great option for those patients looking for dis-ease prevention strategies or those looking to combine conventional and naturopathic treatments with the aim of minimizing side effects of drugs surgery or conventional treatments At The Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic the Naturopathic Doctor will choose the natural medicines and ther-apies that are safe and effective with the goal of increasing your health and decreas-ing harmful side effects Their team is eager to continue helping patients with a natural lifestyle friendly approach

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

MORE AND MORE PEOPLE are choosing Naturopathy as their preferred method of treatment - and for good rea-son At The Optimum Wellness Clinic we are Edmontonrsquos Top alternative health clinic and are proud to offer Naturopathic treatment and therapies to patients After graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario in 2000 as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine with two clinical excellence awards Dr AJ DeNault founded Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic and has continued to widen the clinicrsquos scope of practice and naturopathic knowledge base Prior to his Naturopathic studies Dr DeNault prac-ticed pharmacy in both Alberta and Ontario for over 25 years This pharmacy back-ground aids in assessing and preventing possible interactions between conventional and natural medicines and treatments that various patients may be taking at various stages of treatment

So what is Naturopathic medicine And who could benefit from it It is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with tradi-tional and natural forms of medicines It is

based on the healing power of nature and it supports and stimulates the bodyrsquos abil-ity to heal itself Natural therapies such as botanical medicine clinical nutrition tra-ditional Chinese medicine and more are used in disease diagnosis treatment and prevention Dr DeNaultrsquos practice-focus includes cancer care with hyperthermia and various IV and injection therapies The other doctors practice-focus includes wom-enrsquos health including fertility pre-natal care and hormone testing children and menrsquos health digestive health and food intoler-ance testing All the practitioners work together with the patient to develop the right strategy and approach for each unique circumstance

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat patients as individuals by addressing the physical environmental lifestyle attitudi-nal and emotional aspects of health This allows NDs to find and treat the cause of disease using natural therapies The goal is to address the cause of the illness rather than simply treating or suppressing the symptoms Both NDs and MDs provide primary care and both are similarly trained The primary difference between the two lies

in the philosophical approach and therapies used Naturopathic medicine can be used to treat all forms of health concerns whether itrsquos pediatric geriatric chronic illness or even psychological Naturopathy is a great option for those patients looking for dis-ease prevention strategies or those looking to combine conventional and naturopathic treatments with the aim of minimizing side effects of drugs surgery or conventional treatments At The Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic the Naturopathic Doctor will choose the natural medicines and ther-apies that are safe and effective with the goal of increasing your health and decreas-ing harmful side effects Their team is eager to continue helping patients with a natural lifestyle friendly approach

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

MORE AND MORE PEOPLE are choosing Naturopathy as their preferred method of treatment - and for good rea-son At The Optimum Wellness Clinic we are Edmontonrsquos Top alternative health clinic and are proud to offer Naturopathic treatment and therapies to patients After graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario in 2000 as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine with two clinical excellence awards Dr AJ DeNault founded Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic and has continued to widen the clinicrsquos scope of practice and naturopathic knowledge base Prior to his Naturopathic studies Dr DeNault prac-ticed pharmacy in both Alberta and Ontario for over 25 years This pharmacy back-ground aids in assessing and preventing possible interactions between conventional and natural medicines and treatments that various patients may be taking at various stages of treatment

So what is Naturopathic medicine And who could benefit from it It is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with tradi-tional and natural forms of medicines It is

based on the healing power of nature and it supports and stimulates the bodyrsquos abil-ity to heal itself Natural therapies such as botanical medicine clinical nutrition tra-ditional Chinese medicine and more are used in disease diagnosis treatment and prevention Dr DeNaultrsquos practice-focus includes cancer care with hyperthermia and various IV and injection therapies The other doctors practice-focus includes wom-enrsquos health including fertility pre-natal care and hormone testing children and menrsquos health digestive health and food intoler-ance testing All the practitioners work together with the patient to develop the right strategy and approach for each unique circumstance

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat patients as individuals by addressing the physical environmental lifestyle attitudi-nal and emotional aspects of health This allows NDs to find and treat the cause of disease using natural therapies The goal is to address the cause of the illness rather than simply treating or suppressing the symptoms Both NDs and MDs provide primary care and both are similarly trained The primary difference between the two lies

in the philosophical approach and therapies used Naturopathic medicine can be used to treat all forms of health concerns whether itrsquos pediatric geriatric chronic illness or even psychological Naturopathy is a great option for those patients looking for dis-ease prevention strategies or those looking to combine conventional and naturopathic treatments with the aim of minimizing side effects of drugs surgery or conventional treatments At The Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic the Naturopathic Doctor will choose the natural medicines and ther-apies that are safe and effective with the goal of increasing your health and decreas-ing harmful side effects Their team is eager to continue helping patients with a natural lifestyle friendly approach

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

MORE AND MORE PEOPLE are choosing Naturopathy as their preferred method of treatment - and for good rea-son At The Optimum Wellness Clinic we are Edmontonrsquos Top alternative health clinic and are proud to offer Naturopathic treatment and therapies to patients After graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario in 2000 as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine with two clinical excellence awards Dr AJ DeNault founded Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic and has continued to widen the clinicrsquos scope of practice and naturopathic knowledge base Prior to his Naturopathic studies Dr DeNault prac-ticed pharmacy in both Alberta and Ontario for over 25 years This pharmacy back-ground aids in assessing and preventing possible interactions between conventional and natural medicines and treatments that various patients may be taking at various stages of treatment

So what is Naturopathic medicine And who could benefit from it It is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with tradi-tional and natural forms of medicines It is

based on the healing power of nature and it supports and stimulates the bodyrsquos abil-ity to heal itself Natural therapies such as botanical medicine clinical nutrition tra-ditional Chinese medicine and more are used in disease diagnosis treatment and prevention Dr DeNaultrsquos practice-focus includes cancer care with hyperthermia and various IV and injection therapies The other doctors practice-focus includes wom-enrsquos health including fertility pre-natal care and hormone testing children and menrsquos health digestive health and food intoler-ance testing All the practitioners work together with the patient to develop the right strategy and approach for each unique circumstance

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat patients as individuals by addressing the physical environmental lifestyle attitudi-nal and emotional aspects of health This allows NDs to find and treat the cause of disease using natural therapies The goal is to address the cause of the illness rather than simply treating or suppressing the symptoms Both NDs and MDs provide primary care and both are similarly trained The primary difference between the two lies

in the philosophical approach and therapies used Naturopathic medicine can be used to treat all forms of health concerns whether itrsquos pediatric geriatric chronic illness or even psychological Naturopathy is a great option for those patients looking for dis-ease prevention strategies or those looking to combine conventional and naturopathic treatments with the aim of minimizing side effects of drugs surgery or conventional treatments At The Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic the Naturopathic Doctor will choose the natural medicines and ther-apies that are safe and effective with the goal of increasing your health and decreas-ing harmful side effects Their team is eager to continue helping patients with a natural lifestyle friendly approach

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

MORE AND MORE PEOPLE are choosing Naturopathy as their preferred method of treatment - and for good rea-son At The Optimum Wellness Clinic we are Edmontonrsquos Top alternative health clinic and are proud to offer Naturopathic treatment and therapies to patients After graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario in 2000 as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine with two clinical excellence awards Dr AJ DeNault founded Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic and has continued to widen the clinicrsquos scope of practice and naturopathic knowledge base Prior to his Naturopathic studies Dr DeNault prac-ticed pharmacy in both Alberta and Ontario for over 25 years This pharmacy back-ground aids in assessing and preventing possible interactions between conventional and natural medicines and treatments that various patients may be taking at various stages of treatment

So what is Naturopathic medicine And who could benefit from it It is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with tradi-tional and natural forms of medicines It is

based on the healing power of nature and it supports and stimulates the bodyrsquos abil-ity to heal itself Natural therapies such as botanical medicine clinical nutrition tra-ditional Chinese medicine and more are used in disease diagnosis treatment and prevention Dr DeNaultrsquos practice-focus includes cancer care with hyperthermia and various IV and injection therapies The other doctors practice-focus includes wom-enrsquos health including fertility pre-natal care and hormone testing children and menrsquos health digestive health and food intoler-ance testing All the practitioners work together with the patient to develop the right strategy and approach for each unique circumstance

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) treat patients as individuals by addressing the physical environmental lifestyle attitudi-nal and emotional aspects of health This allows NDs to find and treat the cause of disease using natural therapies The goal is to address the cause of the illness rather than simply treating or suppressing the symptoms Both NDs and MDs provide primary care and both are similarly trained The primary difference between the two lies

in the philosophical approach and therapies used Naturopathic medicine can be used to treat all forms of health concerns whether itrsquos pediatric geriatric chronic illness or even psychological Naturopathy is a great option for those patients looking for dis-ease prevention strategies or those looking to combine conventional and naturopathic treatments with the aim of minimizing side effects of drugs surgery or conventional treatments At The Optimum Wellness Integrated Clinic the Naturopathic Doctor will choose the natural medicines and ther-apies that are safe and effective with the goal of increasing your health and decreas-ing harmful side effects Their team is eager to continue helping patients with a natural lifestyle friendly approach

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years

ITrsquoS NO SECRET THAT one of the best-known restaurants in Hamilton is Shakespeares Fine Dining How many peo-ple would know that it also serves ostrich filet mignon or wild boar When Chef Franco Putignano started his restaurant in 1969 it began as a steak house But over the years as the publics tastes changed so did the menu Now customers can choose between prime US choice corn fed beef steaks wild game including caribou and venison and an extensive selection of fish including live lobster fresh salmon sword-fish and more The fish just like everything else that is served is personally selected each morning from Hamilton suppliers to ensure freshness Not only does Mr Putignano strive to bring his customers the finest in dining fare he regularly travels to Europe to personally select wines for his table offering the best selection in the city

To me good food good wine and good service all go together Mr Putignano explains I want people to have the best dining experience possible and I want them to feel at home when theyre hererdquo

The menu also features a Heart Smart selection of dishes which are low in cholesterol and salt Its been approved by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and reassures diners that healthy eating need not be bland and boring Shakespearersquos commitment to customer satisfaction has developed a large clientele most of whom are regu-lar customers Celebrities such as Tom Jones Liberace Gordie Howe Wayne Gretzky Tom Cochrane Mark Messier and Martin Short have also made their way to Shakespearersquos Fine Dining - and thatrsquos only naming a few

The long hours - 9 am to 1 am Monday to Saturday - may be taxing for some but Mr Putignano has made it a family affair His son Leo manages the dining room while his daughter Christina bartends in the restaurant Their mother Nicole han-dles the bookkeeping and weekend hosting duties and his son-in-law Peter Smith also assists in managing the restaurant I dont mind the long days he says Ive got the business in the blood and I love people I

work longer hours now but I love it he adds During the recession we didnt cut back on quality-we always tried to do bet-ter And it worked

Today with over 45 years in the restau-rant business Mr Putignano has countless awards behind his name - fitting recogni-tion for his dedication to providing the best to his customers for so long

Nothing comes easy You have to work hard Mr Putignano says I feel proud of my family my staff and my restaurant And Im proud to have been a part of Hamilton for 40 years
