Happy Canada Day!  For those of us blessed to call Canada home, today we celebrate our great nation’s 148th Birthday!  Being a first generation Canadian, I am so proud to have been born and raised in this country and feel incredibly blessed for freedoms and opportunities I have been afforded.  Deep gratitude.
