In recognition of our fine women's hockey team going into the gold medal game tonight, and to honour all of our Olymipians, and paralympians, tomorrow will be Canada Red, Maple Leaf Day.  That’s right, tomorrow, if you are wearing red, wearing a maple leaf, or have clothing with Canada on it, you will receive a pack pride slip which can be entered in the office at the end of the day for the weekly draw.  Prizes aside, let’s all dress up to support our great country!
