A day of volunteering, followed by a birch crackling in a wood burning stove.

Sometimes it is the simple things in life that are the best.

Every year at this time we get to review poems and artwork from young students honouring the veterans for Remembrance Day.

My son was part of a start-up group that was awarded some funding as part of the

Indie Ignition Accelerator Pitch competition this past weekend at BVC.

Great to see him finally seeing results from a couple years of hard work.

He is really pursuing his passion and learning business acumen along with it.

Oh man. I've been so stressed the past 4-5 months about my daughters new high school for next year. My son attends Stem Academy but there is so much demand they no longer guarantee siblings to get in.

They only allot 10% of yearly acceptance in a siblings draw and she won!
3 minute commute to school too. lol

Not sure what the proper terms are.

Ktrain and Russic made a video game once. My bro worked for Westwood studios and said that industry treated people horribly (which isn't surprising). But good luck!

Considering many video games are recreations of hard labour like 'Farmville' or whatever, maybe its a game about snow shoveling?

VR Snow Shoveling.

If we're going dystopian lets not half-ass it!

Maybe not just snow shovelling. What about a game about getting people unstuck out of the snow? I would play that.

And they give you rewards depending on how they look. Old lady who lives in Upper Mount Royal gives you $10k for getting her out. Rich appearing balding guy in a Corvette gives you fata all.

If you are driving a kyitty corvette in deep snow you deserve to be stuck. No effs given. Just keep driving by like Shannon Sharpe would do.

Same applies if the old lady is driving a corvette too. Good luck lady!

Ha kind of fits the thread now that you guys are talking about it but I used to pull people out of ditches all the time. I lived in Castlegar and worked 14/7 around the peace region for over a decade. I drove my 3/4 ton back and forth every winter since the flights to Castlegar are garbage (cancel-gar is a well earned nickname). I've pulled at least 20 vehicles out of the ditch trying to help the image of Ram drivers everywhere. RMMH to think about it, I love that kind of stuff so it was fun to dig out car axels and yard them up.

My favourite joke:
You’re the first pregnant lady I have pulled out of the ditch this winter.
But I’m not pregnant!
You’re not out of the ditch yet either.

Got a few laughs.

Ok hear me out, one guy piles snow everywhere in Upper Mount Royal, another guy waits to help dig them out.
