Corrie did not send any comments re the pictures below.  Not sure if she is having a good time or not because she doesn't say.  She is smiling in the pics so we'll assume she is enjoying the trip.  😀

FRIDAY WAS RED NOSE DAY AND OUR EXERCISE LEADER JODI HAD HER NOSE ON.

SHARON, GLORIA AND EVA GOT THE MEMO

 

IT WAS A GOOD TURNOUT OF 24 PLAYERS FOR CROKINOLE THIS MONTH.

ED PEARCE (ARMS UP BELOW) WAS NOT A WINNER BUT BARRY BESSO, GORD CASH AND JOANNE PATTERSON CAME 1ST, 2ND AND 3RD.

NEWCOMERS ALWAYS WELCOME AND LESSONS PROVIDED IF NEEDED.

WATCH THE BULLETIN BOARD FOR THE NEXT DATE.

 

THE OLYMPICS ARE STARTING TODAY (WEDNESDAY).  BELOW ARE SOME OF THE EVENTS AND ATHLETES THAT CANADA IS EXPECTED TO DO WELL IN.

Men’s and women’s hockey: Canada’s men’s team returns with its NHL stars as the favourite to win gold. Canada won the last two Olympics with NHL players, but fell off in the past couple of Winter Games, which were played with amateurs. The women’s squad, which has won five of the last six Olympics, is still the team to beat, but the U.S. will be a formidable challenger. Snowboarding — Eliot Grondin and Mark McMorris: Grondin, who’s also a flag bearer, is expected to win the gold in snowboard cross, while Saskatchewan native McMorris will look to add to his medal count after collecting hardware at each of the last three Olympics.

Freestyle skiing — Megan Oldham and Reece Howden: These two are expected to win gold in the Big Air and Ski Cross events, respectively. Canada seems to be really strong in the events where athletes hurl themselves off of giant jumps at ungodly speeds.

Short track speed skating: William Dandjinou, Steven Dubois, and Courtney Sarault are all top contenders in speed skating — the sport that Team Canada is projecting the most gold medals in.

Moguls — Mikaël Kingsbury: We don’t follow the sport year-round, but Kingsbury is apparently the Michael Jordan of moguls skiing. Already one of Canada’s most successful Olympic athletes, he’s unlikely to leave empty-handed.
