This is an update to my previous blog CELEBRATE CANADA!: National Aboriginal Day, Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day, Canadian Multiculturalism Day and Canada Day.
As a prelude to the Canada Day celebration, Prime Minister Stephen Harper yesterday, 29 June 2011, unveiled a new personal flag, for use in Canada, created for His Royal Highness The Duke of Cambridge.
The flag, whose creation and design were approved by Her Majesty The Queen and His Royal Highness The Duke of Cambridge, will be flown for the first time today when The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge arrive in Ottawa to begin their nine-day Royal Tour of Canada, from June 30th to July 8th.
The itinerary of the nine-day Royal Tour of Canada for The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge includes the following highlights:
From July 1 to July 4, there are Toronto events with road closures, too.

Join in the fun and celebrate Canada’s 144th birthday on July 1.

2010, Finland, 81 minutes. In Finnish with English subtitles
NFB (National Film Board of Canada) Mediatheque invites you to “hang out with the guys in their sacred sanctuary – not the bar, but the sauna. This intimate documentary simply lets Finnish men do the talking while relaxing in the warm glow of steaming stoves, opening up about the important things in life, and cleansing themselves physically, mentally and spiritually. Along the way, the film also highlights some unusually creative sauna construction solutions.”
Steam of Life was recently chosen as Finland’s entry for the 2011 Foreign Language Oscar and made its Canadian premiere at the 2010 Hot Docs Toronto International Documentary Film Festival.
Nordic Nights is presented in partnership with the Consulate of Finland.
