How we come up with ideas for Best Health

The Best Health editors ferried over to the Toronto Islands Tuesday to brainstorm brand new magazine and website content for the coming year. It was by far the most relaxing meeting I’ve ever had’and probably the healthiest. With no phones or e-mails to answer, we were able to focus in on how to make the magazine and site even more interesting and informative for you. And we came up with some fantastic concepts for 2010. The sunshine and fresh air really jumped started my own creativity and ideas seemed to flow so much easier while sitting by the lake than they ever do in the boardroom. Where are you most creative?

That’s our team up there on the dock waiting for the ferry to whisk us back to the city (and reality) after our lovely day on Ward’s Island (from left: Lisa Hannam, me, Bonnie Munday, Margaret Nearing, Jennifer Masseau, Jennifer Walker and Rhonda Rovan). Check out more pics from the day on our facebook fan page. And if you ever have a creative idea for Best Health, we want to hear it! Post your thoughts on our facebook wall, tweet them out to us at @besthealthmag or comment right here on the blog. Everything is welcome, from photos and musings to song lyrics and recipes. You never know’our most creative idea yet may come from you!
