We spent our summer holidays this year in the Canisbay campground of Algonquin Provincial Park. On our drive up, we stopped at the Dairy Queen in Minden for lunch. The $8 cheeseburger meal deal was delicious; the food was fresh, the staff was courteous and prompt, and they saved our Sundaes for after we were done eating our cheeseburgers and fries.

Thanks to the professional and friendly staff at the Canisbay campground in Algonquin Park, check-in was quick and painless. Just like Arrowhead, they no longer provide paper permits; instead, sites are registered by the vehicle license plate number.

My friend Paul and I decided to ride our bicycles into work again, and on this ride, I thought about all the people I wanted to give thanks to.

I’m thankful to my wife and son for getting up early with me and sharing a breakfast meal with me before I went to work.

I’m thankful to the workers who made the clothes and shoes I put on today.

I’m thankful to all the people involved in the building of my home as well as the furniture and appliances within.
