Tributes MEMORIAM
SHELEST, Wasyl (Bill) H. January 13, 1923 - June 27, 2016 We Miss You! Love Bohdan & Family and Friends
MICKLICH, Johnny May 20, 1929 - June 26, 2005 In memory of our Uncle Johnny who passed away fifteen years ago. We little knew that morning God was going to call your name, In life we loved you dearly In death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you You did not go alone, For part of us went with you The day God called you home You left us with beautiful memories Your love is still our guide, And although we cannot see you You are always at our side. Our family chain is broken And nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one The chain will link again. Lovingly remembered by Terry, Shauna, Caylib, Joshua and Zachary Micklich
KOLUK-LENCEWICH, Phyllis June 28, 2018 We do not forget her; We love her too dearly For her memory to fade From our lives like a dream. Our lips need not speak When our hearts mourn sincerely, For grief often dwells Where it seldom is seen. Missing you, Mom. Love Darcy and Sharon, Tom and Dean, and all the grandchildren

5 things Canadians do best News Advertiser Canadians have a global reputation for being friendly and polite. However, Canucks have a lot more going for them than being well-mannered. To celebrate Canada Day, here are five things that this country and its citizens do best.
1. Comedy
What do Eugene Levy, Mike Myers, Samantha Bee, John Candy, Catherine O’Hara and Jim Carrey have in common? They all hail from the Great White North and are prominent names in the world of comedy.
2. Hockey
This sport is an inarguable part of the Canadian identity. Professional teams have won more championships than any other country, and national teams regularly top the world rankings.
3. Cottage country
Canada has more lakes than any other coun¬try in the world. When combined with ocean coastlines, mountain ranges, unique deserts and abundant wilderness, Canada provides more opportunities to get away from it all than just about anywhere else.
4. Slang
In addition to their regional accents, Canadians use terms and idioms that’re all their own. Where
else can you say, “I’m going to put on my toque, drive a few clicks down the road and pick up a two-four”?
5. Snack foods
From Nanaimo bars and butter tarts to poutine and donairs, Canada is home to some of the best snack foods out there. Our chocolate bars are also second to none. In fact, Coffee Crisp, Smarties, Mr. Big, Aero and Caramilk can only be found on Canadian shelves. Additionally, dill pickle and ketchup chips are unique to Canada. This year on July 1, take a moment to reflect on all the things that make this country and its citizens great. Happy Canada Day!
