A spectacular non-profit race that takes place east of Algonquin Park just north of Bancroft in the fabuluous community of Barry's Bay. Quietly over the years this swim bike run, race has been attracting a more serious athlete. The grandest part is the magnificient food afterwards. This year's race takes place on July 1st.

Kindergarten Class in Antigua

I had one of the best vacations of all last week. Not because i was soaking up the sun and lying on the beach. It was the morning Heather & I spent at Cedarbrook Primary School in Antigua with a Kindergarten Class reading, and conducting exercises. The children were amazing. Bright, keen, anxious to to please and succeed. To be truthful the group of six students I had were not any different from any Canadian Kindergarten boys or girls. They are kids with the thirst to learn, be listen to, to grow, and have some fun at the same time. They told me about how they like to ride their bikes, play football (soccer) and yes play video games. The time I spent with the Cedarbrook Primary School part of the Sandals Foundation program made my vacation. To Sandals you are to be congratulated for a beautiful program that gives back. More importantly is my reinforced belief that we as the general public have no idea what our Teachers do every day. Teachers whether in Antigua or in Ontario are truly under appreciated. To all the Teachers in the world, I say thank you.
