When I first began thinking about this project, I wasn’t at all sure what to call it. I knew I needed something short and memorable. I arrived at various ideas, but they all lacked that needed “roll” off the tongue. Although one day, I realised what brings everything together is the bay. And so with that, placentiabaypost.ca was born.

Feel free to check back every now and then. I will be adding items about the communities of the region, from Long Harbour to Branch. There will be other articles and thoughts that will also appear under the broad categories of “People & Places,” “Living Well,” “Random Acts of Kindness” and “A Look Back in Time.”

Please feel free to send information (placentiabaypost@gmail.com) about your thoughts on the blog and if you’ve got something on your mind that might form the kernel of a story.

My hope is for the Placentia Bay Post to offer readers a gentle and encouraging opportunity to think about their here and now. What are the things that mean something to you? Is it some place or is it simply a beautiful idea? Both are jewels housed in our hearts and the hope is that what you read here may somehow evoke their spirit.
