Happy Canada Day!

July 1, 2012 by Patricia Sands Leave a Comment

It’s a beautiful day in Toronto. I’m hoping you have the same weather wherever you are celebrating across our great country. Enjoy this wonderful video narrated by Tom Brokaw that first aired during the Vancouver Olympics in 2010. It does our country proud!

    We lived in Canada for 5 years when I was a kid – you have made me so nostalgic (in a good way!)

    Patricia,thanks for sharing this post. Toronto is one of my favorite cities, by the way, and I just love spending time there whenever I can. When I watched the video it reminded me of what a great neighbor Canada is to the US and how much your home country has helped us over the years. Happy Canada Day! May our friendship never end.

      Thanks, Steph. It is a great video, I agree. We are blessed in both countries to be such good neighbours and have the freedoms we do.

    We’re like cousins. Didn’t know you were Canadian. There are few over here in the middle of the east. Real nice fellas.
