		It’s a great spring if you’re a duck This spring is no joke. Some of the coolest and wettest conditions throughout much of the province have prevented any meaningful installations and hampered retail sales so far this year. Everyone should take comfort in knowing they are not alone. Everyone in the profession is feeling and fighting Mother Nature. Don’t despair. Just get ready to rock it out when the weather finally changes for the better. Things always have a way of working out for the better.
