Happy Days with Ford Canada

May 30, 2012 by Racheal

When Ford Canada said they had a car they wanted Marion Ross (aka Mrs. C from Happy Days) to drive while she was in Toronto, I don't think anyone expected it to be a hip little roaster.  But that's exactly what she got: a supped up, detailed and fully loaded Ford Fiesta.Both she and her Lost in … [Read more...]

Sex: A Tell All Exhibition

May 28, 2012 by Racheal

I was in Ottawa for Race Weekend and decided, in between running, to take in some exhibits at the city's diverse museums.  I could tell you how wonderful the Van Gogh exhibit at the National Gallery of Canada was, but I'm pretty sure you'd be able to figure that one out on your own. The … [Read more...]

Gay. Get Over It.

May 17, 2012 by Racheal

So Raven-Symone, the cute kid from The Cosby Show and star of Disney shows like The Cheetah Girls and That's So Raven, came out and social media went wild.  And not in a good way.It also happened to be #NOH8 Day in support of gay marriage and equality in the United States.  So I … [Read more...]

Theatre As A Teaching Tool

May 15, 2012 by Racheal

"It was awesome!" That was the response from my friend's 11-year-old daughter coming out of Dancap's production of West Side Story, now playing in Toronto. I'd debated bringing my 9-year-old daughter with me to opening night.  Yes, the songs in this modern adaptation of Romeo & … [Read more...]

What I Want For Mother’s Day

May 9, 2012 by Racheal

If I could ask for one thing this Mother's Day, it's that everything you would have spent on your wife, mom, girlfriend, partner or yourself be instead donated to the moms at Ronald McDonald House. Because, and let's be honest, I don't need more flowers, or a trip to the spa or yet another gift … [Read more...]

Pulling My Artstrings

April 20, 2012 by Racheal

A tweet went out that got my attention and I immediately forwarded it on.  It said "tweet #MolsonM_Art and you help paint a mural and we donate $1 to the arts in Canada...cheers"   To me, it seemed like a no-brainer.  Corporate marketing helping the arts.  But then I … [Read more...]

Bilingualism and Art

April 11, 2012 by Racheal

There are advantages to being a Canadian.  One of them, for me anyway, is being able to speak French.  And while I use the term "speak French" very loosely, it has come in handy. For example, when interviewing a talented and handsome young dancer from French Guyana, it helped to put him at … [Read more...]

Words From My Shrekspert

March 22, 2012 by Racheal

Earlier this week, Dancap Productions treated the McCaig clan to opening night of Shrek The Musical in Toronto. To be honest, I didn't want to go.  For every great movie to stage adaptation (ie Hairspray), there are at least 5 that are so excruciatingly painful, I'd rather take my eyes out than … [Read more...]

March 21, 2012 by Racheal

World MasterCard Fashion Week closed with Dare to Wear Love, a gala fundraiser showcasing Canadian designers with celebrity models.  Given just a few yards of African fabric,some of the designers really pushed the limits.  The standout for me was Cityline's Tracy Moore in a breathtaking … [Read more...]
