Not a Toronto Fan

 

 

 

She was born the same year the Vancouver Canucks entered the league. Fiona Burrows (no relation to Alex) from SFU's Public Relations and Media Relations is also one of their most rabid fans. Here she is getting primed for a CBC News Network interview.

Gentlemen, start your tractors

 

The 89th annual May Day Parade hit the streets of Fort Langley on Monday. I have a soft spot for tractors because I learned to drive aboard a McCormack W-6 at my grandparents' farm. As this driver reminded me, the W-6 was gas powered, this W-D9 is all diesel power. There's an impressive selection of farm machinery at the B.C. Farm Machinery and Agricultural Museum operated by local volunteers.
