Yesterday, he completed a 300-kilometre 11-day trek between Edmonton and Calgary. “You don’t have to climb a mountain to make a difference – that’s why I’m challenging schools and communities in Alberta and across Canada [...]
Dear Diana, You are my niece, my sister’s daughter, so that means I’m not your mom. But just so you know, you are my girl. Now you’re moving to Australia, halfway around the world, and so I probably won’t see you as often. But don’t think I won’t Skype you and bombard you with emails [...]

The recent Purina Dog Chow Family Poll found that 93 percent of Canadians say their dog makes their family complete. The poll also revealed some other fun facts about how Canadians see and [...]
UPDATE: THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED. I recently posted a question on our Facebook page about Mother’s Day asking moms what they really want this year to celebrate the occasion. While some answers shocked me, most of the responses seemed to highlight three main trends. Moms want to spend more time with their adult children. [...]
