  • Winterlude Ice Sculptures

    These sculptures were all made out of ice for this year’s Winterlude Celebrations in Ottawa, Ontario.   This one is a Transformer. You can see the robot at the top and the car below. Pretty cool work by Jerry Perun from Auburn, New York. This next one is from local artist Evher Coronel. I like […]

  • Winterlude Graffiti

    Graffiti artists were invited to add some much needed colour to the Rideau Canal Skateway for this year’s Winterlude celebrations. It’s great to see that our capital city has made sure to include hip-hop culture in this annual event. As you can see this outdoor gallery is set up so people can skate or walk […]


  • Winterlude Bed Races

    No this isn’t Hoth. It’s Dows Lake. The frozen over lake where the Bed Races were held at this year’s Winterlude. It was great to see so many members of the community participating in it. This is the Paramedic team. And the race is on. It was hilarious to see the teams try to manoeuvre […]


  • New Reason to Love Curling

I felt a little guilty rooting for another province over my own but I cheered PEI on all weekend long. They […]


  • Teaching Tip Tuesday – Phys. Ed & Health

On the fifth day of the week, this teacher would come to your classroom to deliver an intensive health program. However, in many schools this […]


  • Winterlude Lights Up the Night

    Winterlude is an annual event where Canadians get together to celebrate Winter. I know a lot of people would rather huddle up inside and hide under the covers just waiting for it to be over. “Who celebrates winter?” they say. That being said, I’ve always heard good things about Winterlude so this year I made […]


  • Twitter Tip – Creating a Threaded Discussion

    One of the most frustrating things about Twitter is trying to have a conversation with someone. When you reply to a tweet, it isn’t threaded at all. There is no subject heading so it can often be unclear as to what post you are commenting on. I know there have been times when I’ve stared […]
