More big wins for Team Canada at Pan Am Games today
by •
At time of posting, Canada sits at the top of the leader board with 22 gold medals — which is 10 more than the Americans, who are sitting in second place. It seems though that every time we post an update with the medal count, within minutes our story is inaccurate as we continue to haul in more hardware!

Either way, the Bulldog says, #GOCANADA. Global CBC

Living on tree-lined streets has health benefits, study finds
by •
This interesting article will surely reinforce the tree-loving prejudices of South Bayview homeowners. We love our trees for many reasons and it is intuitive that living around these wonderful creations of nature would be good for both the constitution and the brain. In Moore Park residents go a step further calling their Oak trees a national asset. Geoffrey Vendeville, Toronto Star
