Who Has The Best Traffic Lights?
Traffic lights seem to vary from region to region. I don’t why this is the case. I think the design of them is so much better here in my province but perhaps it’s just that I am accustomed to them being this way. Let’s look at a few different designs I have come across. This…

Winterlude Fun!
Snowflake Kingdom is a gigantic snow playground that it is constructed every year for Winterlude. Apparently, it takes weeks for them to make enough snow to construct these huge slides. But the time spent in constructing them is sure worth it. The line ups were huge and everyone seemed be having a great time. I’ve…

Castles in the Snow
These snow sculptures were constructed by teams from all across the country for this year’s Winterlude. They are on display at Jacques-Cartier Park in Gatineau, Quebec. I think this is my favourite. Team Manitoba did a great job on it. This one shows a group of kids tobogganing. Team Alberta made this huge pair of…

Olympic Medals on Display
This is the Royal Canadian Mint in Ottawa, Ontario. It is the place where they make the money but it is also the place where this year’s Olympic Medals were constructed as well. Security was really tight. You could only take photos of the medals and nothing else. These are the moulds that were designed…

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 found a good reason to watch curling. Her name is Geri-Lynn Ramsey and she plays for team PEI. I’ve seen curling before but I don’t ever remember seeing players this young and beautiful. 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
In a perfect world, every school would have a gym teacher. Each class would go to the gym four days a week to learn skills, build muscle, and have fun. 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…
