Last week on July 13, we were startled by loud noises coming from our phones. When I checked, I realized that the dark skies were not going to be a mere drizzle. We had just received a government alert warning us about a tornado watch for our area in the South Shore of Montreal. You should know, this is really not normal for our area! We had no previous experience with such extreme natural phenomena. This is Canada! Extreme blizzards – sure. Snowstorms – we get them every winter. But tornadoes??

The Beautiful Colors of Fall in Angrignon Park
Montreal is a city with many great parks. One of my favorites is Angrignon Park (Parc Angrignon in French). With a surface area of 97 hectares it is among the largest in the city. It has four artificial lakes, including a very large and long one that nearly spans the entire park end-to-end. It also has large areas of forest boasting a tree count of over 20,000. This park is especially beautiful during the fall and that is why I enjoy going for long walks there. Today I have taken a few photos and would like to share the colorful beauty of this park with you:

Ottawa March for Life, Montreal Tourism, Retreats, etc.
This past couple of months were quite busy for me. Aside from the work involved in running my business, I have attended a few major events.
First of all, on May 14, I went to the National March for Life in Ottawa. According to Campaign Life Coalition the official number of people that attended the march this year was as high as 25,000, which is a record high for Canada (of course the one in Washington, D.C. easily reaches the hundreds of thousands, but their total population is also 10 times bigger, so it’s understandable.) Below are some of the photos I took during the march:
