Ohhh...CANADA!

Greetings CKI!

I had the awesome opportunity this past weekend to travel with Representative Hotchkiss to the beautiful capital of the country of Canada, Ottawa. While in Ottawa we trained the new District Governor of the Eastern Canada District-in-formation Monica Van Den Hurk. We took a break for lunch and Monica was so gracious enough to show us around their beautiful capital city. See below for my personal photos and highlights of my visit to Eastern Canada as well as a special October message from Monica and I.

Something nifty I learned on my visit is the holiday of Thanksgiving takes place in October for both Canada and America but our celebrations have much different histories and are on different dates. If you get the chance Wikipedia Thanksgiving in Canada and USA for an interesting history lesson on both countries!

Looks like it was cold. YUCK!

For the USA Thanksgiving is the 4th Thursday in November, not in October. Silly Kristen, you're too far north and mixing up your countries!
