We had an awesome spring camp this year!
Mrs. Bagheera put together an excellent spring camp for us at Country Heritage Park in Milton.
We arrived Friday night (most of us between 7 and 7:30 pm). 12 Cubs, 2 Scouts, 7 Scouters and 1 Trooper.
Camp was set up and we decided to share a pavillion with the 92nd Brampton Guides. Honestly with flush toilets, running (potable) water, electric lights in the pavillion, access to indoors to store our food and supplies… it’s really hard to call it camping lol.. It wasn’t even hard to put in the tent pegs!
On the other side though we can still classify it as ‘roughing it’ as Hathi, Mang and Akela went out of tune on a few songs… Oh and we did sleep in tents and it rained from 2am Friday night off and on through till late Saturday night. (more…)
What an awesome day for the walk this year! We got ourselves up ready and off, arriving at Streetsville Memorial Park around 8:30am. Shortly after our arrival we realized we forgot all our pledges!!!!! Luckily, they have the online numbers at the registration desks and we were able to send in the rest after the walk!
Very cool.. I mentioned to one of the staff that it would be nice to be able to purchase t-shirts for those that don’t get over the $100 in pledges.. eg. Aaron. Well he said “Just a minute,” and went and found one just the perfect size for him! You should have seen the smile, getting his own Walk Shirt!
Christopher also lucked out, they’d run out of his prize (> $250 received a jacket) so he was bumped up to a back pack! No one at his school has one like that now! lol (more…)

Our family has been very dedicated to this cause for a number of years now.
Both my wife, Berta and son, Christopher have Type 1 Diabetes.
Berta having had Diabetes now for 33 years has been developing many of the complications which can make daily life exceedingly difficult.
Our hope is that through efforts like this and the support of friends, family and collegues a cure can be found so that Christopher may never know the complications that all diabetics face today.

Thank you for your continued support!
My Cousin introduced me to Kijiji.ca about a year ago.. and I’ve looked around, nice site, looked good, but hadn’t have much of an opportunity to list or buy anything from there. I’ve also shopped around for stuff on craigslist.ca too. The stuff I end up buying has always come through ebay though (mostly electronics etc.)
So anyway…
We had ourselves a garage sale this weekend, spent $40 on an ad in the paper and made about $130 or 140 total…

Took the family to this years Boat Show at Exhibition Place, Toronto.
I’ve been to somewhere between 20 and 30 Boat Shows over the years and this 50th Anniversary show was as good as any. Though not as large as they used to be (they used to require the Automotive building as well) there was plenty to see and do.
The kids really had a great time at one booth where they were able to build little sail boats and race them in a pond! Donations went to help a program that gets inner-city kids out for a weekend to build wooden skiffs, great cause! (more…)
So the old cell battery was down to lasting about as long as a single phone call… Of course it’s more expensive to purchase a new battery for the silly thing than it is to simply upgrade the phone! What a disposable society we live in.
So Saturday went over to the local Bell Store and checked out what was available. Blew me away! There is just so many options and so much that they are packing into these little phones these days.
