I am lucky enough to sponsor a minor hockey team here in Port Perry. Last weekend they won the Silver Stick Qualifying Tournament in Collingwood and are Regional Champions. They go onto play in an International tournament in Niagara in January.
But not only are they champions of hockey, they are a really great bunch of kids and a credit to their parents and coaches. These guys are truly a team on and off the ice. I’m very proud to be their sponsor.
For those Moms everywhere trying to juggle work, kids and a life!
Well today’s the day!
Three years ago today we boarded a plane at Heathrow Airport, London, England to start our new life in Canada. And today 1095 days later we are eligible to be Canadian Citizens. Wow doesn’t time fly when you’re having fun!

What have we learned in three years? My sons have learnt to speak Canadian. That took about six months to happen! We have learnt that Canadian winters are “brutal” according to the locals - well actually we quite like them. There’s not too many ski hills in England and definitely much less snow. We’ve learnt that the English tradition of offering visitors a cup of tea when they visit is replaced in Canada with, “Want a beer then?” Don’t you just love this country? And hockey…… well it’s no longer a game played on grassy green fields with a stubby ended stick it’s now a WAY OF LIFE!
Thank you Canada, we’re very glad to be here.
