What's new?

Well, did you notice you didn't get a July Newsletter? I thought it was a bit better idea to send at the beginning of the month and tell you what is happening for the current month. So from now on you will get the first week of the month.

So a belated happy Canada day and did you know that up until 1982 it was known as Dominion day? Find out more.

And a welcome back from your civic holiday. Did you know that it is called something different in each province? Check it out.
