Canada Day Fireworks

I'd like to thank the firefighters of Tumbler Ridge for the show they put on last night. It seems kind of silly to thank them for a light show when their everyday job involves risking their lives and being heroes, but I have a particular reason.

As many of you know, I returned to Tumbler Ridge late last August after moving away in 1994. The town I lived in for fourteen years, Williams Lake, does not have fireworks on Canada Day. It's partly due to the timing of the Williams Lake Stampede (usally encompasses Canada Day), and the fear of spooking the horses and cattle.

So last night, for the first time since 1993, I got to see fireworks in my town on Canada Day. And they were fantastic.

Thanks!
