Where have the polar bears gone

Being that I call Toronto home, I found myself talking about how mild this winter has been and how great that has been. But the fact remains that this isn’t necessarily a good thing in the large scheme of things either. The world is changing, and therein, getting warmer. And as lovely as it may be for those of us Canadians who have bore the brunt of -45 degrees celsius, habitats around the world and the animals that call them home are having to adapt or disappear altogether. Recently we partnered with Polar Ice Vodka on their #SaveOurSeaIce campaign in support of Polar Bears International to shed some light on this alarming fact. And yes, there IS something we can do about it.  Continue reading “Where have the polar bears gone”

Walking in a Winterlude Wonderland with CIBC

A lot of people don’t realize that although I have made Toronto my home with Julio, and HQ for all things #DoTheDaniel, I have in fact lived in several major Canadian cities in my lifetime. We moved a lot when I was younger because we followed the opportunities that my parents had in their careers. Though it wasn’t always easy, I like to think that it also gave me my sense of adventure while seeing what it meant to grow up Canadian in both Ontario & Québec. While I lived in Ottawa with my parents, I used to look forward to Winterlude every year. From skating on the Rideau Canal, ice sculpture carvings that awe & amaze, to the ample amounts of Beavertails that I used to justify as winter sustenance… it was an exciting time in Ottawa for residents and visitors alike. On Saturday, February 18 (From 8 a.m. to 9 a.m.) you’re going to want to head to the Rideau Canal Skateway for CIBC’s Shinny Hockey Day!

You’ll have seen that recently I had the chance to join my fellow #DiscoverPC members to rejuvenate myself inside and out thanks to both President’s Choice® & Joe Fresh to makeover my work day from food choices to the outfits I wear. Come and see how you too can find inspiration to refresh your day-to-day life with a few simple changes!

Combining two of my favourite things for one epic message

So now that the #Canada150 excitement has started and Canadians are already well into an amazing year of celebrations, I wanted to take a minute to share something really important that President’s Choice reminded me of recently. I like to think that I live a balanced life, or at least I try, but even I am guilty of not giving my family the time they deserve. This year, more than ever, Canadians should be taking the time to #EatTogether, and President’s Choice launched the most amazing campaign to remind us to do just that!  Continue reading “Combining two of my favourite things for one epic message”
