A DIFFERENT KIND OF WELLNESS WEDNESDAY... AND DUCT TAPE.
Wellness can be attained in different ways. We've mainly been focusing on physical wellness, but mental wellness is important as well. It's said that "laughter is the best medicine" and although it may not be the "best", laughter is a way to relieve stress, return balance to the mind and body and can even boost your immunity! This is where the duct tape comes in! Charlie Brown had a chance yesterday to catch up with Rick Green. Rick is one of the creators behind the Canadian cult comedy, Red Green! You've even seen him on the show many times as the bumbling "Bill"! You can laugh along with Rick as he shows his unique humour and chats about ADD/ADHD tonight in a show for the CanLearn Society, at 7:00 at the Cardel Theatre, 180 Quarry Park Blve SE. To register for the show visit the link.
If you missed it at 7:20, here is Charlie's interview with Rick.

NHL PLAYOFFS ROUND 2
The elite eight in the NHL has been established with the conclusion of 2 series last night. Unfortunately for the Leafs, it all crumbled in 9 minutes. They held a 3 goal lead late in the 3rd and allowed the Bruins to score 3 goals, the final 2 in the last 82 seconds, to tie the game and force overtime. Boston's Patrice Bergeron put the game away just past 6 minutes into overtime. That leaves the Ottawa Senators as the remaining Canadian team in the playoffs. The NY Rangers also took out the Capitals cleanly with a big 5-0 win in their game seven. Bring on round 2! Starts tonight!
