Happy Birthday Canada!

                                                   Celebrate Canada, eh!
I am blessed to live in a beautiful, diverse country that values the opinion and ways of others.  I have been fortunate enough to have lived and travelled all over the country.  My favourite city is Toronto, followed quickly by Calgary.  I would move back to Burlington Ontario in a heartbeat if life took us back that way.  I cannot believe the size of the raindrops in Halifax or the amazing sites off Newfoundland.
I have met people from every province and even judged International competitions for SIFE/ACE where Canada was represented so well, it was indescribable. The University of Cornerbrook Team worked on ways to harvest ice from icebergs and sell it to Las Vegas Casinos and bars because it took so long to melt...they even harvested drift wood and created and export industry for it to countries who did not have this natural and creative commodity to make furniture and art from at home.  By doing this, they put an abandoned fishery back to use, cleaned up beaches and employed people!  Only in Canada!

I am Canadian!

What other country could give you the Inukshuk?

                                       A Marker for Travellers to Find their Way

Or the amazing Maple Leaf?


                                         


What are you doing today to celebrate Canada?
