Gotta say, every time I crest Armour hill @ Armour & Hunter, look upon the city of Ptbo, I find the view so beautiful. No matter the weather

Yes, well played with bringing in this snow. This house will not have to dream of a White Christmas.

Just A Horse Drawn Sleigh Going Through Tim Hortons Drive-Thru In Lakefield

You never know what you're going to see at a Tim Hortons drive thru in the country. On Sunday (November 29th), for example, a horse drawn sleigh ride made a pit stop to fuel up at a drive thru in Lakefield, Ontario, before continuing on its merry way through the village.

Lakefield's Tim Rollwagen was there to tweet it out this picture.

St. Peter's Teachers & Staff Did Epic Dance At Terry Fox Campaign Touchdown Assembly

Another successful Terry Fox campaign was celebrated this week at St. Peter Catholic Secondary school—staff and students of St. Peter's raised an impressive $75,000 for the Terry Fox Foundation and cancer research.

The school set a number of incentives in September to motivate students to raise as much money as possible during the campaign. If students hit the $65,000 mark, their incentive was a large number of staff would perform the pop culture dance hit "Watch Me" by Silentó.

Well the students hit that mark. And they were thrilled to see their teachers "whip and Nae Nae" during Tuesday's touchdown assembly, where the fundraising grand total was announced and celebrated!

Watch it below...
