Many thanks to all members, for your kind thoughts & best wishes sent across to those of us here in Canada. <3

Lots of celebrating in our local downtown Park & at our local Heritage & Pioneer Park. Weather is warm & muggy....No rain, but quite thundery!

We had a doozy of a thunderstorm late last night...sheet lightening lit up the skies! Mother Nature's firework display! Thankfully no forest fires were set off....

K/Regards,
A/Canuck

Thank you all!!


It is a beautiful, sunny hot day here .................... my daughter in Nova Scotia said it had poured with rain all weekend, until about 2 or 3 pm today


A/C ....... we didn't come to Canada until 1968, so we missed the 100th celebrations!


Carole ...................... here in BC, heat is also humid. Unlike your usually dry heat in Australia. So it seems like at least 10C hotter.

Many parts of Canada do have dry heat, but not us, and not usually Toronto, or the East Coast!

Yesterday it was 27/28C in Vancouver, but the weather person said it was effective 33/34C

Happy Canada day to our Canadian friends and family.

Every year this day is marked by a memorial service at Shorncliffe cemetery, Folkestone, Kent to honour the lives of many Canadians buried there after fighting for their country in World War 1.
Local primary school children lay posies of flowers for these men who fought, died and rest so far from their homeland.
I have not long returned from there, although I wasn't at the service, but found it quite moving to see the little bunches of different flowers placed with care.

They are not forgotten.

Best wishes to all Canadians on this Canada Day, did it not used to be called Dominion Day.

I can remember going to a party in Trafalgar Square in London with some Canadian friends - not sure if they still celebrate it in Trafalgar Square.
