We live in a subdivision of small acreages that back on an environmental reserve by a small river. We have a regular crew of squirrels and deer, plus visitations from mice, rabbits, fox, coyote, porcupine, beaver and moose. At this time of year sometimes the deer sleep under the spruce trees...

On Jan 18th (9 PM EST) CBC is airing a documentary program with the following description: "Mature women compete in international figure skating, defying gravity, doubts, and their doctors." On the guide the program shows as "CBC Docs POV". Could be interesting. I haven't checked to see if...

I stayed at the Radisson Park Inn for Canadians and I am booked at the Holiday for Grand Prix. Going to the rink from the Park Inn, the bus stop is in the same block across the street a little way down. Returning at night from the rink the bus stop at Heather is 2-3 blocks walk back to the...

I was in this section/row for CDN's. The view of the arena is excellent (IMHO) and not many stairs. The only downside in the seating area was the noise from the photographer's monster cameras (at ice level in front of section 117 at CDN's) was sometimes distracting during quiet music. Behind...

I called customer service for Vancouver Transit and got some info that may be of interest. If you pay when you get on the bus ($2.85) you will get a "Compass Ticket" good for that ride and transfer to another bus for a 90 minute time period. If you don't want to fuss with having correct...

Thanks for the tip. Does anyone else has recommendations for up-coming talent to watch? I was planning on going to some part of the novice events but wasn't sure which ones.

If anyone missed it in October: TSN2 in (Western Canada) is showing what looks like the complete coverage of Skate Canada from Regina, including the Gala, starting Dec 11th and continuing each day to Dec 14th.

I got my all event tickets from TM yesterday and the amount printed on the receipt is incorrect. I paid 231.40. The receipt says 374.25. The receipt showing on-line has the correct total but the details do not add up correctly. The receipt I printed back when I bought the tickets is...

If you are wanting to get an idea of the seats, this is the only thing I could find. https://thunderbirdarena.ubc.ca/venue-booking/virtual-tour

I agree with those who suggest that a) going all the way to Prince George on Day 5 is too much for one day and b) pick a sunny day for Mount Robson to get the full view. I also wonder on day 8 if you are stretching too much to go to Revelstoke. The scenery in Glacier NP is pretty but I don't...

The use of the word insure in place of ensure. Strangers who call me "dear".

This thread brought back some bad memories. Three I can't stand are: "One Tin Soldier" by The Original Caste "Hair" and "Aquarius" from the musical Hair "Honey" - Bobby Goldsboro

Many of the websites have background information for each census. I was wondering about some ages listed in the 1841 English census until I found some documentation that said the ages of adults were rounded down to the nearest 5. So someone 29 would show as 25. Also it helps to know...
