What an amazing Canada Day we had at Farm Boy Bronte!
The fun-filled afternoon was made possible by our wonderful Team Members, community, and vendor partners. A special shoutout to the #TurkeyONTour, hosted by Turkey Farmers of Ontario and our wonderful guest of honour, Rosie MacLennan.
While the BBQ was sizzling with delicious samples, Canadian trampolinist and Olympic athlete Rosie MacLennan spent time with our community for an inspiring meet-and-greet. Our guests shared smiles all around while enjoying live music, fun festivities, snapping pictures with Lulu, and so much more.
Thank you for spending a sunny afternoon with us!

The friendliest countries in the world: 2024 Readers' Choice Awards
1. Costa Rica. Score 96.15
Taking the top spot, Costa Rica is home to dynamic rainforests, world-class surfing and, of course, friendly people. “Pura Vida” (meaning “pure life”) is their national expression, used by locals as a greeting but also as a guiding principle. Costa Rican lifestyle is centred around positivity and gratitude, and this infectious optimism enriches the outlooks of visitors too. The country is a leading ecotourism destination, with 25 per cent of its land protected by conservation reserves, making it a place which is kind to both the people and the planet.

I once came across the concept of a "working vacation" when I was young, and it’s stuck with me ever since. The idea was simple yet impactful: you’d pay around $2000—quite affordable compared to the typical costs of room, board, and touring. This fee covered everything from meals to transportation, and even included guided tours of the area. But what made it truly unique was the exchange: instead of just being a tourist, you’d spend part of your time volunteering at a sanctuary, perhaps bottle-feeding baby lions, cleaning enclosures (when the animals weren’t in them), painting barns, and more.
Imagine how something like this could benefit West Virginia. The state, rich in natural beauty and wildlife, could offer similar experiences—perhaps at animal sanctuaries, conservation areas, or even historical farms. By creating these immersive "working vacations," West Virginia could attract visitors eager for more than just a typical getaway. They’d be contributing to local conservation efforts, learning new skills, and forming connections with both the land and the community.
Not only would this bring in tourism dollars, but it could also foster a deeper appreciation for the state’s natural resources and cultural heritage. Volunteers would leave with memories and a sense of accomplishment, while West Virginia would benefit from the added hands-on help and the positive exposure.
Is it possible? Absolutely. With the right planning and partnerships, West Virginia could tap into a growing trend of experiential travel, offering visitors a chance to make a difference while enjoying an unforgettable vacation. #SustainableTourism#WestVirginia#ExperientialTravel#Conservation

This is not a political discussion; it is a conversation about the future of our city and how we grow. With 60 people moving to Calgary every day, we need to embrace the challenge of growth head-on and enable everyday Calgarians to develop gentle-density housing on their properties.
If you're interested in diving in further, join us on April 19th at the Calgary Central Library to explore the possibilities of middle development. Tickets available at the link in our bio (limited seating available): https://bit.ly/meetthemddl

Glad you're proud to be Canadian.
80% of Canadians are considered Meritless to serve other Canadians in an advancing role in the Canadian Public Service because of a lack of a second language.
These are individuals who:
- May be new Canadians
- Never had an opportunity to learn a second language
- Never had an opportunity to learn YOUR second language
- May have learning disabilities but have tremendous value
- Come from a lower socio economic family and had to focus on livelihood rather than
or
is it because you are looking for a specific socio-economic and racial group almost exclusively located in the National Capital region? A form of nepotism perhaps?
Glad you're proud to be Canadian - Any reason you support your employer ensuring that 80% of Canadians aren't allowed to be Public Servants?
Any reason you won't even address your hypocrisy?
Any reason you have no interest in receiving feedback for improvement?

Les Stroud and the Northern Pikes capture the exact spirit of how I feel about Canada and being Canadian in this cheerful ditty. Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦
This year, I celebrate the breathtaking geography and wild landscapes that shape Canada’s people and societies. From the rugged coastlines of the Atlantic to the majestic Rocky Mountains, from the vast prairies to the serene Arctic tundra, our country's natural beauty is truly unparalleled.
