WITH summer in our midst, there are many things we all look forward to doing outdoors. From cleaning up and planting our gardens, picnics, flying kites, basketball games, to lounging on beaches and so much more.

Going outdoors makes us better people. For most of us, these hobbies are a great way to boost our mental health and keep us physically active.

Now that some restrictions have been lifted, the good news is we can still enjoy much of what we love about outdoors by practicing good judgment, following minimum health protocols and proper social distancing guidelines set forth by the local government.
