Canadiana
There are certain things that are powerfully synonymous with Canada: some have to do with equality, such as the Underground Railroad. Others are symbolic, like the flag and national anthem. Some represent life’s sweeter frivolities, such as the butter tart.

THE CANOE
Canoes have carried Indigenous peoples for thousands of years, and for many Canadians have become a symbol of the country’s vast wilderness. For Mike Ormsby (BPHE 1979), an artist and educator, the canoe inspired him to learn more about his own Anishinaabe culture. After helping restore the vessels with First Nations youth in Fort Severn, Ontario, in 2012, he was drawn to learning more about birch bark canoes
in particular. He went on to build more than 20 of them – and to teach the art to Indigenous youth.
“A birch bark canoe is inherently beautiful,” he writes on his website. “[It] connects us not only to past cultures but reminds us of the importance of nature in our lives. Balance. Harmony. Grace.”

Comments from our guests and members
Members and guests attending our weekly meetings are very important to us. Based on your comments we are able to produce many more educational, inspiring, and entertaining weekly meetings.
Following are some of the comments we have received. Would you please send us your comments?
I love Mathematics. I enjoyed the music from Anguilla.
-- Lynne Ternosky, Rotary Club of D6330 Passport
June 26. The Automaton invented by a Swiss watchmaker 240 years ago would be remarkable if it were made today, but with 6,000 pieces and no computer to aid in the design and manufacture is astounding.
David Werrett, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
June 27. Amazing Technology was already used centuries ago. I was introduced to computers in 1967 as a keypunch operator, and have seen the advancement and reduction in size. Computers always intrigued me and still do. It helps that I studied computer programming. It’s all about logic and math. So this week’s meeting topics addressed all areas. Loved the Bankie Banx music. Great music for a hot evening!
-- Elly Contreras, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370

Humour
Some fathers will go to extraordinary lengths to make sure that their daughters have the most fabulous of wedding days. Steven had his speech all planned out and had an epic surprise for Laura, but he forgot one important part...
