Did you know British Columbia Makes Tons of Submarines?
The Canadian company initiated the world's first commercial tourist submarine in the Cayman Islands in 1986.
More than 10 million people have since experienced underwater adventures
in their 48 and 64 passenger submarines in the Caribbean and Pacific. The subs they operate in Barbados, the Cayman Islands, Aruba, St. Martin, Cozumel, Curacao & Guam were all made in Canada.

Did You Know the World's Best Cymbals come from
Where do the cymbals used by Rush, Keith Harris of the Black Eyed Peas,
the Philadelphia Orchestra and marching bands around the world come from?
The small village of Meductic (population 300), located along the Saint John River in southern New Brunswick.
SABIAN cymbals are sold in 120 countries around the world.

July 7. How to pull the plug on Climate Change I enjoyed the videos and I love Shekhar Mehta’s theme for the year! "Service is the rent that we pay for the space we occupy on this earth."
-- Nance MacLeod, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
Lost culture of Whales. Welcome to President Keith. I really enjoyed your introductory message, and my accolades go to the club progress made last year. Glad to hear of your fundraising plan utilizing walking with benefits for youth.
-- Lynne Ternosky, Rotary Club of D6330 Passport
July 6. Whales are my most loved creature!!
-- Sharon Blaker, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
July 6. Whales: They are such fascinating creatures!
-- Vicki Horsfield, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
July 7. It is so great to see the trio of Winnipeg students who, I presume, started without any preconceived ideas but came up with a proposal to use hemp stalks to reduce the amount of salt used on the roads as a de-icer.
-- David Werrett, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370

Humour
Andre Rieu - submitted by Rotarian Jim Kenyon
We’re now going to play a piece for you that is incredibly tempestuous and fiery. They always play this piece in Spain when the bull runs into the bullring. It’s very impressive. The theatre is packed and the matadors are waiting in the middle. The drums begin to beat. The trumpets begin to blare. Then they throw open the gate and bang – there’s the bull!
Are you afraid of bulls? There’s no need to be afraid of them if you’re not wearing anything red. Nothing will happen.
Oh, oh!

In 2020, as the COVID-19 pandemic spread across the globe, a majority of countries announced the temporary closure of schools, impacting more than 91 percent of students worldwide. By April 2020, close to 1.6 billion children and youth were out of school. And nearly 369 million children who rely on school meals needed to look to other sources for daily nutrition.
Never before have so many children been out of school at the same time, disrupting learning and upending lives, especially the most vulnerable and marginalized. The global pandemic has far-reaching consequences that may jeopardize hard-won gains made in improving global education.
