Visions Canada Awards 08

It was our privilege to attend the Visions Canada Awards, held at the Halton Regional Museum on June 2/08.

 

These awards are a collaboration between the Halton District and Halton Catholic District School Boards, recognizing outstanding representations of Canada from Kindergarten through to Grade 12.

 

One of our daughters came home surprised recently to find herself a recipient. Her History teacher at Stewartown Middle School had entered her without her knowing.

 

Stewarttown also came up a winner with a Grade 7 group entry.

 

It was a very classy affair for the kids, complete with music following by an ensemble of the Halton Youth Orchestra, and pie!

 

Well done all!

Community day at Willow Park
Topic: - willow park, may

Mother Nature provided the picture perfect day for the latest community help day at Willow Park Ecology Centre in Norval.

 

Among the helpers were these young folk (and young at heart).

 

A great opportunity to think globally, act locally!

Sing sing sing
Topic: - gdhs spring concert

Tons of talent at the GDHS Spring Concert.

 

Hard to choose a feature song.

 

But I usually trust the song that sticks in my ear for a few days.

 

This year for me it was Sr. Jazz's 'Sing sing sing.'  

 

Well done all!

Bangorama 08
Topic: - bangorama 08

Mother Nature relented on Saturday, and rain clouds gave way to sunny skies for Bangorama -- not necessarily a common occurance for this event.

 

The fam came back with quite a few good pics.

 

Click here for a sampling from our online photo album. 

 

Below for a classic midway clip.

Merry go round

Stewarttown Spring Concert
Topic: - SMS spring concert

Just when you think you've seen it all...

 

The creative powers at Stewarttown MS came up with this memorable rendition of the old classic, Yellow Submarine.

 

To be sure, the event feature much talent and many fine performances.

 

However I think you'll agree this featured number possesses a certain something that causes it to stick in the mind.

 

Bravo Stewarttown!

20-Minute Makeover
Topic: - 20 min makeover

Group shot of youth group from Knox PC piling up cleanup efforts from 20-minute makeover on Apr. 18.

 

After being plied with food, this bunch  cheerfully rolled sleeves up for part of a glorious spring evening and gave mother earth and the GT downtown a much needed and appreciated spring cleaning.

Garden pic (Spring is finally here!)

Photographic evidence that spring is here --

 

resident garden gnome helping (!) to put on some mulch.

 

Oh well, his intentions are so pure he can easily be forgiven for deficiency in technique!

GDHS Sr. Jazz at Halton Showcase
Topic: - halton showcase

Stan took this video of our own top notch Sr Jazz band at Halton Showcase at Hamilton Place on Apr. 16.

 

Even the resident band member was pleased with how this piece, Trofeo de bolos, came off.

 

Judge for yourself!

HH 20-min makeover, Fri. Apr. 18 -- can you help?
Topic: - downtown bia

20 Minute Makeover

Remember, every litter bit hurts!

The Annual Halton Hills 20 Minute Makeover is set for Friday, April 18 at 2pm.

This year, without the downtown reconstruction, we hope to build on our past participation levels and have an even greater impact. On Friday April 18th, businesses, institutions and schools will be sending their employees and students out to scour their grounds or nearby areas to remove unsightly litter. Jane Fogal, Chair of the Litter Free Task Force and Georgetown BIA Board Member, is enthusiastic about the addition of the 20 Minute Makeover to the Clean Up Calendar. “This gives business people a target time to get out and clean up the irritating litter that is usually left for another day” *Free garbage bags and gloves will be available from the Georgetown BIA offices*.

The official time for the 20 Minute Makeover is 2pm, but you can do your part any time during Friday, April 18th.

Besides picking up litter, use this day to sweep the area around your business, put up a fresh coat of paint and clean the debris of winter. The 20 Minute Makeover day is your day to start your Spring Cleaning!

Note the office is closed on Wednesdays.

Couldn’t make those dates but want to clean up in your area? Contact Kay at 905-873-4970 for your free gloves and garbage bags!

Remember, every litter bit hurts!

Spring -- time for puddle jumping

Big sis took this excellent video clip of puddle jumping.

 

And you know what that means...in order to do puddle jumps, you have to have puddles...

 

And for puddles you need rain...or MELTED SNOW!

 

Does that mean spring is finally here?!?!?!?!?!

 

Puddle jump
