It's Good to be Canadian
I hope you are all enjoying the Canada Day holiday today!! Since today is devoted to all things Canadian, I'd like to share some of my own snapshots taken in Toronto, many of them featuring our beloved Canadian flag.

Bursting With Canadian Pride
The opening ceremony was held Friday night to kick off the 2010 Winter Olympic Games being held in Vancouver, Canada. One word: Amazing!!!
As host country, the Canadian team was the last to enter the stadium, led by flag bearer Clara Hughes. Of course it goes without saying that the Canadian athletes were wearing the best outfits!! I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot of the red parkas and pom-pom toques on the podium over the next few weeks.

Olympic Torch Relay Comes to Toronto
The Olympic Torch arrived in Toronto on Thursday evening, and it was a moving experience to witness such a symbolic event. With the Christmas lights illuminating Nathan Phillips Square, a large crowd gathered in front of City Hall to catch a glimpse of the cauldron lighting ceremony. It was a cold evening, and although the relay ran into some logistical delays, the hearty Canadians never complained during the 49 minute delay.
The torch finally arrived in the square, hoisted high by Olympic medalist Vicky Sunohara, member of Canada's women's ice hockey team in 1998, 2002 and 2006. Her arrival was greeted by a round of cheers and jingling tambourines. After the Olympic cauldron was lit on stage, the Canadian Tenors performed a beautiful rendition of O Canada, accompanied by the very patriotic crowd. It was an emotional moment in Canadian Olympic history which I will always remember.
