It’s time for a new season
92 issues.
Seven and a half years.
66,000-plus words.
Countless joy.
In May 2017, two-time Stephen Leacock Medal for Humour winner, Leaside-born author Terry Fallis joined Leaside Life as a regular columnist with his first piece: “Leaside Literati: A confession 50 years on.”
He’s been writing for us ever since, faithfully, and (a blessing for an editor) always early with his columns. So, it’s with some sadness that I share that Terry has decided to put away his pen – only for Leaside Life – with this issue.
But…we are thrilled to share that a new columnist will be joining our team in the new year: Tim Fallis, Terry’s twin brother and a talented writer and wit in his own right. Terry has written about twins before, notably in his novel One Brother Shy, and specifically about brother Tim in many Leaside Life pieces.
We have no idea what Tim Fallis will write about, but we’re intrigued to learn if he fact-checks some of what Terry has written over the years about their childhood experiences.
In other news to share, this issue we debut a new column, “Leaside Cooks,” overseen by “Layers of Leaside” writer Mitch Bubulj. LC will not be your typical recipe column, instead it’s stories of Leaside’s many cultures brought to life through cooking. Get ready for tasty tales.
Enjoy this holiday season – and the new season to come!
