I guess it's been a turtle-y few days for me between the hatchling release and my recent article on the Grand Bend Art Centre's sculpture that's on display at the Pinery.

We're starting up our How Canada Wins series again, this time with a focus on loving where you live. I kicked things off with a story on Huron Perth Flag Football, which was founded last year and has been filling the gap in football leagues in the region. www.lakeshoreadvance.com/news/hometow...
