CPR Christmas Train
Here is a schedule of the christmas Train For 2026 in the GTA area. Sadly it does not appear in Brampton which is a shame. However, the next best thing and the closest is in Milton at The Glen Eden Ski Hill and Kelso Park on November 20th between 5:00-5:30pm. And if there is snow, it should be a magical experience for the whole family. Plus any skiers will delighted to be able to ski as well.
Besides Milton there are other locations including Vaugh Nov. 30 from 10:15-10:45am.
We need something here in Brampton, Maybe Go Transit could do something.
Happy Thanksgiving

Kidney Walk 2026
My Progress
Let's Keep it Going
Back in 2017 I heard the words “kidney failure,” and by that rainy New Year’s Eve I was getting the call that dialysis would start in the morning. That moment changed everything for me. I’m joining the 2026 Ontario Kidney Walk with The Kidney Foundation of Canada to turn that experience into something positive. I’ve raised $135 toward my $1000 goal. If my journey has touched you, please consider donating to my page 💚https://pc.akaraisin.com/129/ONWALKS26/my-page https://kidney.akaraisin.com/ui/ONWALKS26/p/7b9c78b2f6cf455d99502c7b345be99c
Near & Dear to My Heart
Friends and family, many of you know my life changed in 2017 when I was diagnosed with kidney failure, and by New Year’s 2018/19 I was starting dialysis. This year I’m taking part in the 2026 Ontario Kidney Walk for The Kidney Foundation of Canada. I’ve set a $1000 goal and I’m at $135 so far. If you’re able, please donate to my page and walk this road with me 💚 https://kidney.akaraisin.com/ui/ONWALKS26/p/7b9c78b2f6cf455d99502c7b345be99c

FIFA World Cup of Soccer 2026
World Cup Watch Party at Garden Square - Canada vs Qatar
History Was Made At Garden Square Thursday.
The Watch Party at Garden Square on Thursday evening were witnessed to Canadian Sports history as our Canadian Mens soccer team trounced the defending Qatar 6-0. Thus, Canada won their first World Cup game ever, and in doing so, could quite possibly move on to the next round of the 2026 FIFA World Cup of Soccer.
That would be quite the feat, as for many years Canada was more or less just a spectator. thanks to better facilities such as the Brampton Soccer Centre, better coaching, we are now taking our place in the world at the higher stage. 6 members of our men's national soccer team are from Brampton.
Canadian Pride was surely felt at Garden Square in Brampton, from the playing of the National Anthem to cheering on our men's team throughout the game, waving flags and shouting out "CANADA CANADA"
It was the place to be in Brampton on Thursday, I was proud to be a Canadian that night. It was a pleasure running into members of the Brampton Soccer Club and the U9 Competitive Team, in attendance to cheer on our Canadian team. We wish the team much success for their season. (picture above with Councillor Rod Power)
Here is wishing our Canadian boys good luck and all the best as they go forward into the tournament.

Annual Cleanup
A beautiful rich Sunday morning of sunshine and warmer temperatures. A huge difference between this week compared with the previous week.
Last Sunday at Teramoto Park, it was a bitter taste of Winter still lingering around Southern Ontario. Gee last week it was even ❄️❄️❄️❄️ snowing.
This Sunday was reasonably more comfortable and quite pleasant. Cleanup Kerbil Park to make it more pleasant for families and individuals to enjoy the beautiful park. Their was a group playing Cricket while we were doing the cleanup.
Our efforts were concentrated around the lake and creek. We had to watch out for the nasty burrs, and there are notorious ticks to certainly watch out for
Overall terrific 👍 👍 morning and a tremendous success.
