Heat Wave Hit Southern Ontario - June 26th

For our friends and families serving in Afghanistan... today, we got a "taste" of Afghan weather. Much of South-West Ontario, broiled today under temperatures that hit 36 degrees (C)
With the humidex (yuk) it was an equivalent of 43 degrees (c)! Not much can be done when it's this hot. (we didn't have to wear uniforms and carry those heavy rucksacks.. in the sun) Yes, we had to drink lots of fluids.. and we found that yes.. chocolate DOES in fact melt in these temperatures.

It's a scorcher!! ...I really and truly sympathize with you.
What can we do to help you?

St Paddy's Day Parade

Wear Red on Fridays

March 17th, 2007
It was a cold blustery day, but nothing dampened the spirits of the Families of Canadian Soldiers in Afghanistan. Participating in the St. Patrick's Day Parade in Listowel, brought applause along the street in support of our troops serving in Afghanistan and bringing recognition to wearing red on Fridays. It was a day to be proud of. Thank you Lynn for submitting us into the parade... and ... we won 2nd prize in the parade that day!!
