Merv Magus Cover photo: iStock.com/HenrikLandfors Illustrator A nd the survey says…is back. One of our favourite and fun things to do is our biennial survey of snowbirds. We have detailed the main responses – later in this issue – and hope that you enjoy the results. This is what your friends and fellow snowbirds are thinking right now. It has been a tumultuous year for snowbirds, although things seem to be settling down now. This has been a wonderful summer, except for the many forest fires in every province of Canada. Our thanks go out to all of the firefighters risking their lives to save us and our property. Many people have lost everything and will be forced to start their lives over. Please help them in any and every way possible. As we prepare for our winter sojourns, we should reflect on how lucky we all are – even with our many challenges. I wish you good health and wonderful journeys and, as the saying goes, “until we meet again.” Sincerely, J. Ross Quigley Editor CSANews | FALL 2025 | 3
