I was honoured to have been asked to participate in this year’s “Battle of the Bands” fundraiser at the MacLaren Art Centre in Barrie Ontario. Participants include talents of members of Barrie’s financial services and medical professions.

Proceeds support the MacLaren Art Centre, Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre and Kempenfelt Rotary Club. To date, the Battle of the Bands has raised over $225,000. A big thanks to “The Bailouts” – Mark Lyon, Jeff Garner, Rod Burns, Andrew Ain and Barry Hunnakko for letting me join them on stage this year. You guys rock.

I was sitting at a stoplight the other day and noticed a “School Crossing” sign – children with books tucked under their arms. I looked around the neighbourhood, and the kids I saw looked a little different than what was depicted….so I thought this might be more accurate and recognizable. Safety First!
