November Weekend

The National Women's Show was a huge success again this year. Held in the south building of the Convention Centre, the show offered cooking demos, fashion shows and healthy tips and tricks, but I enjoyed the give-aways the best!
Smiling? Sure - after my successful flexibility and hydration testing. I also learned about hair weaves, the benefits of glass nail files and options for teeth whitening, if you're interested.

On Saturday, Nov 3rd I attended Hope in the Balance, an all-day event at U of T's Convocation Hall. Six speakers were each given one hour (a 20-minute lecture followed by an interview then Q&A) to explore the "possibilities for humanitarianism in the 21st century." On the bill were Romeo Dallaire (right), Stephen Lewis, and James Orbinski.
