Despite what is happening in the world around us and at home, we truly are very fortunate to live in the country of Canada
One of my family’s Canada Day traditions is to watch the Parliament Hill noon-hour ceremony on CBC. This year, the format of the ceremony was slightly different than previous years. For instance, the Snowbirds began the show, not ending it as in the past.
This year’s theme concentrated on the physical geography and beauty of Canada. Governor-General Adrianne Clarkson pointed out in her speech that we have many great places of natural beauty to visit, not only in the summer, but all year round. Canada is the place where we ‘can’ do whatever we desire as the possibilities are endless.
Let us not take for granted the treasures we have around us. Treasures of open spaces, clean air, nature trails, recreation areas, water bodies, and more. People travel from around the globe to visit Canada and those places that are practically in our own backyards.
This summer, take some time to explore the land around you. Take a walk around Alix Lake, visit one of the many spots around Buffalo Lake, or take a trip to Content Bridge. Be daring and take a drive down a country gravel road you’ve never traveled before, just to see where you end up. The possibilities truly are endless.
Have a wonderful summer.
