'Why follow when you can lead.'
Love this add by my very first employer, The Globe and Mail. I was a newspaper deliverer in Ottawa when I was 12. Making sure every customer received their paper whatever the weather conditions, even Jean Chretien was one of my customers at the time, he was a member of Parliament.
I enjoy this add since it stirs the deep emotion that resides in all Canadians, humble yet very prideful.
Therefore let's play it forward: What are you taking the lead on?
After months of anticipation the Trade show of the design year arrived.
Well run, well staffed and a FANTASTIC venue (Vancouver Convention Center/Olympic Media Center)to launch Organic Lime Plaster Mantles
Did you miss it?
Not to worry we have the show on a YouTube Video, contact us and we will connect you to what the attendees saw.
Doesn't it feel great to be Canadian! What a two weeks Vancouver and Whistler put on to the World, eh. There is no need for me to recap the incredible nationalism and incredible success of our Canadian Olympic Team, I'm sure we all witnessed that!
It was simply a pure joy to behold and be a part of - as a CANADIAN. I had the distinct pleasure to meet a few of our medalist, ...here they are....BRAVO LES CANADIAN!
Jennifer Botterill, Gold Women's Hockey ....and yes Gold HURTS... but it is WORTH it!
Maelle Ricker, Gold in Snowboard Cross. West Vans own!
Mike Robertson, Silver in Snowboard Cross. I told him he looks like Hugh Grant.
They forgot to light the Torch!...got run ...pick up the trowels and back to the work....
It's once in a lifetime event, therefore I'm putting down the trowels and tools (a little bit) to soak up the Games, I will share a little of living in the host city for the Olympics for the next two weeks.
This past weekend was beyond expectation for us as a family. The Olympics are Fun.
Everywhere we went national pride is alive! Of course we love the CANADIAN pride. But seeing all of the other nations and colours, too cool!
Riding the new Translink/subway downtown was a hoot since everybody on board was so friendly and full of good cheer.
Sunday, in the aft we walked the seawall from Yaletown (Live City Venue) to Sochi (Russia House), the only disappointment was the lines ups, killer sunny day equates to killer line ups. No problem, we can come back another day since it's all in our hood.
Sunday night we went the first awards ceremony at BC Place, it was fantastic! The awarding of the medals was very compelling and the concert afterward from Nelly Fertado, was really good. Not a fan but the show was perfect for the first night of awards.
Afterward the crowds spilled onto Robson Square for the light show and celebrations were on since we one our first Gold, bien fait Alexandre Bilodea!
