Michel and I helped host the Sears Great Canadian Chill in English Bay this weekend. The weather was AWFUL. But the downpour didn’t dampen anyone’s spirits — as more than $20,000 was raised to help fund oncology units at hospitals across the country — including BC Children’s Hospital in Vancouver.

For more information visit this website.

Congrats to everyone who took part in the Polar Bear Swim in English Bay. You’re much braver than we are!
