You could pitch this as a movie but you might get told it's too unrealistic – a pint-sized hockey player who's short on stature but big on heart overcomes incredible odds to not only make the Calgary Flames but become a prolific scorer and team leader helping the Flames win the team's only Stanley Cup […]
Happy Canada Day! (or should I say: “Joyeux fête du Canada!” )Or if that story doesn't float your canoe, Reddit has tons of Canuck-related stories in their Canada sub-reddit section. Hope everyone enjoyed their mid-week stat holiday!
I heard about this innovative library program during a presentation by Red Deer Public Library’s Director at CLA. For the last two municipal elections, that city’s library has created information pages for all municipal candidates from the mayor to council to both school boards. The candidates provided the information and the library simply posted it […]
This is where myself and two colleagues from Saskatchewan had supper tonight after the end of the CLA conference…It's pretty amazing for a number of reasons.

So I'm watching the Calgary Flames game earlier tonight and that inspires me to do something I haven't done in a long time – look at the MLS listings for our old neighbourhood in Calgary. I'll admit that when we first left Calgary in 2004, I did this search on a WAY too regular basis. […]
Not sure if you've seen this or not but Canada finally has a national do-not-call registry and it's dead easy to sign up.
