Canada,pcna Member of the Canadian Community Newspaper Association and the Ontario Community Newspapers Association Val's Views Valerie Gillies Proud to be Canadian Canada Day 2014 threw some people off schedule, with it falling on a Tuesday. Not all employers were giv- ing the same day off to their employers. Some opted for a long weekend, while others adhered to the statutory hol- iday date. It seems every long week- end throws a monkey wrench into routines. For some, this means extra stress and pressure from shortened hours to produce the work to meet quotas or deadlines. For others it brings the need to plan for care and activity for those in their charge. But, for the lucky ones, it is an extra day to get their happy on and celebrate a day off of the old grind. Coming close on the heels of the ending of a school year, there were a lot of younger students and adults who relished the chance to really celebrate the begin- ning of their summer off. It was trickier this year than in the past to find the particu- lar celebrations, but they were out there to enjoy. Hopefully you found one that matched your style and tastes. Canada Day is one of my favourite statutory holidays as it reminds people to stop and think about what an amazing country we live in. Not very many nations can boast as much natural land- scape as us. We draw from very diverse cultures and backgrounds to make up our various communities, organ- izations, focus groups, reli- gious affiliations and so on. As Canadians we experience our land not only as Canadi- ans in general, but in our own area -specific culture. I am especially proud that, as a nation, we believe in defending basic human rights and in being the peace keepers both at home and abroad. Travelers are well aware of the positive recep- tion when they identify themselves as citizens of this well-respected country. There are as many reasons to be a proud Canadian as there are people in this nation. Each has their own experiences and knowledge of what it is to be Canadian. I am even proud that we are considered to be overly nice and polite. I can think of worse associations, to be sure. Personally, I have some- times been criticized for insisting on each time that I am asked to lead the singing of "0 Canada" that we sing both verses. Yes, there is a second verse. So, in honour of our great nation, please stand and join with me in singing our National Anthem. 0 Canada Our National Anthem "0 Canada! Our home and native land! True patriot love in all they sons command. With glowing hearts we see thee rise, The True North strong and free! From far and wide, 0 Canada, We stand on Guard for thee. God keep our land glorious and free! 0 Canada, we stand on guard for thee. 0 Canada, we stand on guard for thee. 0 Canada! Where pines and maples grow, Great prairies spread and lordly rivers flow. How dear to us they broad domain, From East to Western sea! Thou land of hope for all who toil! Thou True North, strong and free! God keep our land glorious and free! 0 Canada, we stand on guard for thee. 0 Canada, we stand on guard for thee." LUCKNOW NEWS By Ruth Dobrensky All was quiet in Lucknow after Summerfest and then came Can- ada Day. Fortunately for us Luc - know residents, we can always count on our Legion Branch 309 to put on a great fish fry for Can- ada Day. As everyone loves to cel- ebrate our big day, and I hope however you celebrated, you had a wonderful day. We've had some visitors from Leeds, England in town for the couple of weeks. Margaret and Noel Murray have been entertain- ing Margaret's sister Moira, her husband Rod and their daughter Claire Stubley who seem to love our community. They'll be head- ing home July 4 and I hope they had a great time and that they'll be back to visit us again. I hope everyone made them welcome.
