2023 Colour of the Year

At the request of our communities, we decided to continue with a colour theme for 2023. This year's colour is PURPLE. Purple has a variety of effects on the mind and body, including uplifting spirits, calming the mind, enhanced feelings of spirituality and encouraging imagination and creativity.
From lilacs to coneflowers, from coast to coast, let's paint the country purple!
