Happy Labour Day 2024!

 We had a warm Labour Day long weekend holiday and family visited from Prince Rupert this year.  Our oldest daughter and her family moved there many years ago.  They'll be staying with us for a week and there's been quite a lot of rain two weeks ago.  The trees are beautiful and very green and our teaching professions begin this week.

National Indigenous Peoples Day 2024!

 As a school teacher, my wife and I have been teaching in this high school for decades.  On this day in our faculty, we have many indigenous staff members who attended many of their celebrations.  Currently, however in Canada it is not considered a statutory holiday yet.

Easter Monday in B.C. 2024!

We have friends staying with us during this Easter Holiday long weekend.  They left this evening back to Williams Lake and it's still quite cold up north, like it is around here.  The leaves in all the trees have begun to grow more vigorously and now the cherry-blossom trees are blooming beautifully on some of the city streets and in the parks.
