Another week, another milestone—my first Core Life deadline.
Core Life, if you're not aware, is a bi-monthly business and lifestyle magazine, also published by Life Publishing Group—the same team behind this very newspaper. For almost 15 years, it’s been fondly known as the local business networking and lifestyle publication.
One of my favourite parts of writing for the magazine—and, frankly, in general—is having the chance to spotlight the truly remarkable achievements of locally based individuals who might otherwise go unnoticed.
Exhibit A: Ren Pedersen. You may have already heard his story—maybe not. If you fall into the latter camp, I implore you to learn more. It’s truly extraordinary. Page 10 of this paper is a great place to start.
Then there’s Simon Yim of SKY Renewables. You might’ve been following his journey in here already, or heard about SKY’s work through local meetings and conversations. Although born and raised far, far from the Burdekin, he elected our beloved region as the site of a project that could change the cane farming industry forever. Stay tuned for his full story.
I know I’ve written more than once about the Burdekin’s outsized connection to world-beaters. If you’ve ever questioned the validity of that notion, here are two stories that should help to quell any reservations.
