If you are Canadian, you must have held a fifty-dollar bill at least a few times. I have several but had yet to learn who the man featured was or his importance to Canadian history and politics. Charlene and I were starting a weekend trip…
One of our favourite activities is exploring neighbours, especially neighbourhoods with art. Many cities and towns are now adding murals and other art forms to combat graffiti and make their living spaces more beautiful. For the most part, it works. We appreciate it and seek…
