Brush with Spidey – New Contest!

July 12, 2012 by Jason

We have a really great dental clinic for our kids. There is a patriarchal older dentist who beams at everyone as they arrive or as they meander to their assigned chair. He moves from child to child, cracking wise or winking, putting the often nervous patients at ease. The younger dentist bounces … [Read more...]

Happy 100th Birthday Oreo! Fun facts & a celebration recipe for you!

March 14, 2012 by Sonya

I remember the first time I had an OREO (ok..maybe five or six of them). I was sitting at the kitchen table with Grandpa on a summer's day.

Think you’ve got moves? Here comes the Harlem Globetrotters (and a giveaway)!

Remembering

Welcome to Remembrance Week.  I believe that it is critically important for the next generations to understand why it's important.  To know what the previous generations did so that they can live the way they do.  This February, Mirvish Productions will be presenting the Canadian … [Read more...]

For Mother's Day, after spending the morning at the soccer pitch, I spent the afternoon with my mother at the opening of The Railway Children.  They've built a brand new theatre at the base of the CN Tower for the show, and when you walk in, it's a total sensory experience: the sounds, smells … [Read more...]

Twenty – or Fifty – Minutes with Ellen David

March 15, 2011 by Unknown

When I first sat down to have a one-on-one conversation with the lovely Ellen David, I was expecting to chat a little bit about her role as the hilarious Judith Bellow on CBC's 18 to Life.
