I am officiating at the Canadian Weightlifting Championship at the Genesis Centre in Calgary. I enjoyed judging the female 58 kg category last night.Not sure of the reasoning for no pictures when you have good athletes and watching males lifting over twice body weight.

I got a flag for my vehicle for the Flag Day long weekend. I remember 60 years ago, my school in Summerside P.E.I. going across the street to an assembly at the junior high to celebrate Canada’s new flag. Now a symbol for a great country, whether traveling the world or cheering our national teams.
