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…

An article in today’s news feeds brought to mind a very important issue… Should we abandon so called ‘Green’ technologies that, in reality are doing more harm to the environment or should we continue to do more harm than good?
On one hand we have the idea engines going, everyone trying to do what’s right for the future, for the planet and our communities.
On the other hand we have the reality that many of these ideas are, in the long run not beneficial. Read More »

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! Read 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.

What a great weekend!
The 4th Georgetown Cub Pack held their first ‘Winter Olympics’ this past weekend at Barber Memorial Scout Camp in Guelph, ON.
Mr. & Mrs. Bagheera put together an awesome program for our camp this weekend. The theme was Winter Olympics, the goal was to get every Cub in attendance their Athlete’s badge! It was a great success, the kids really enjoyed themselves too.

Wow, what an awesome day! Sara, Chris and I had a ton of fun.
About 40 of us, from 4th Georgetown (Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Venturers, parents and leaders) all met up this morning at St. Andrews United in Georgetown and hiked down to Hungry Hollow to Clean up some of the Silver Creek that runs through the ravine as part of the TD Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup.
The Town of Halton Hills had mentioned that they had done a clean up back in April and they weren’t too sure if it would be worth it. We are glad we went ahead!

Wow! We had an awesome weekend!
Last weekend we had about 75 Cubs and Leaders from Greater Halton get together for a camp at Valens Conservation Area in Cambridge.
We did the camp opening Friday night and successfully executed a traditional Jungle Opening (though it wouldn’t win any awards, lol). Read More »
