WATCH PARTY IN RICHMOND HILL-TEAM CANADA GAVE US THEIR HEART AND SOUL-JULY 4, 2026

 Disappointing to lose but proud of how our Team Canada played for the whole country.

The watch party was well attended even though the rain in the morning had been daunting but held off after 11 to 3.

Fans is so many places.

Coach Jesse Marche,

Fans in Richmond Hill and everywhere across Canada.

Our Emcee talking and our DJ taking photos. Kept the party moving.

A MORNING WALK AND THOUGHTS ABOUT OUR COMMUNITY HELPERS

 On my walk this morning I stopped and chatted with a lady who said happy Canada Day. She is a PSW for a private patient who had a stroke and has needed help for years. I told her- Tess- she was a special person to provide the wonderful care she does every day.

One Regional police car and then a York Region Poèice  regular car went by me. Working on a Stat holiday. I thought about the losses in June of 3 officers in Canada. They served and protected and lost their lives..

Near the little park, an ambulance went up the hill beside me. I remembered my rides in 2018 with Adolph,

Community helpers. Serving people. How lucky to live where people serve and protect.

Yes you can have lots of money and be happy. But there is something valuable about the people in our communities that are there for us

First responders, PSWs, Health Care workers and so many more.

Thank you.

JUNE 26, 2026 CN TOWER IS 50!!

 Such an icon in the City. And maybe the country. Still standing erect and tall.

Over the years I have photographed it from various angles and on various occasions.

It shines in the background from the CNE.

University Avenue and there it is standing tall.

I need to hunt down more photos I know I have of the Tower.

These will have to do for now.
