All of us can help with the American Election, here’s how:

Because the American election is exceptionally important to everyone we should encourage voter participation. Apparently only 20% of American citizens living in Canada typically cast a ballot.      

If you are an American citizen living in Canada you can easily apply for an absentee ballot to be mailed to you with the assistance of the bi-partisan organization Vote from Abroad. 

votefromabroad.org

Time is of the essence as the sooner applications are in the better as many of the States electoral systems are being especially challenged during the pandemic.

If you are not an American citizen you can still help by passing this link on to any of your American friends or relatives who might be working or living in Canada or in any foreign country around the world.    

Thank you very much.

Abandoned Campfire

Someone abandoned a non-extinguished campfire on vacant land off Sunrise Point Road. It was quite windy Sunday evening and if it weren’t for sharp-eyed (and sharp-nosed) walkers this stupidity could have started a bushfire.  The walkers immediately called the fire department and the forested area was made safe.

It might be a good idea to start carrying a gallon jug of water in your vehicle in case you come upon a smouldering fire or cigarette.
