Ship’s Log: Entry No. 007 - A Valentine’s Letter to Saint John

Saint John, this one’s for you.

You’re not perfect — and you don’t pretend to be.
You’re a working harbour, a city shaped by weather and willpower, by grit and generosity.

There are challenges.
There’s rebuilding still to do.
There are days that test patience and belief.

But there is also heart — everywhere.

In small businesses that keep showing up.
In conversations at the market.
In neighbours who care, creators who build, and communities that choose hope over easy.

Love isn’t flashy here.
It’s practical. Persistent. Quietly brave.

This Valentine’s Day, we’re choosing to believe in what’s coming next.
To keep our spirits up.
To support one another.
To stay rooted — and keep moving forward together.

Here’s to Saint John.
To resilience.
To renewal.
And to everything the rest of 2026 still has in store.

From our harbour to yours — with love.
