A weekend of firsts!

1. Our first ice hockey game! I didn’t understand a bar of it, it was so fast I couldn’t even see what was happening half the time and missed our team’s goals…and I loved every second of it.

I’m writing my column in the Canmore Leader about it next week though (and yes, I promise I’ll link to it once it’s online!) so I’d better not say too much lest I get hit upon by the Canadian mafia. I believe they say: “Fugget aboot it.”


2. My first experience of wake-boarding on dry land. Well, experience kinda implies I was actually involved – and while I did get a little wet, that was only from the rain.

Check this out: yesterday the town of Canmore demonstrated just how committed they are to active, way-out Canadian fun, by shutting down the main street and setting up a wakeboard competition on its path. “Traffic? We don’t need traffic! What we really need is an extreme sport!” Damn I love this place!

Notice those snow-capped mountains in the back? It was COLD. I think every single competitor earned the right to shelter for life, purely based on this fact. Or at least a year’s supply of hot chocolate.

And finally…

3. My first Canadian winter jacket.

It’s snuggly as hell, but has the unfortunate side-effect of making me burst into loud renditions of “From Russia with Love”.

Would you like a wodka?

I acknowledge the Gubbi Gubbi, Wakka Wakka and Butchulla peoples, the First Nation Traditional Owners of Country, and custodians of the land and waters on which I live and work, and all the peoples who have welcomed me on Country. I pay respects to all Elders past and present and acknowledge the young leaders who are working beside Elders in our cultural industries in the continuation of cultural, spiritual and educational practices. I recognise all First Nation peoples as the original storytellers of these lands and acknowledge the important role they continue to play in our community.
