Naheed Nenshi awarded 2014 World Mayor Prize  

Calgary Mayor beats out 25 finalists for the honour

The award aims to raise the profile of mayors worldwide by honouring those who have served their communities well by governing openly and honestly, and those who made significant contributions to cities nationally and internationally.

"All I try to do is be very authentic, be real with people and just focus on working hard on making this community a better place, just like everyone else in the community. So I'm super happy about it, but I'm a little bit overwhelmed by the whole thing as well."
Nenshi was chosen over 25 other finalists for the honour. He said he's looking forward to using the platform the recognition will bring to the city.  "I think it gives us a lot of great visibility, it gives us the opportunity to talk about what we're doing here in Calgary on a national and international stage, which is always important for us, particularly in these tough economic times," he said.



Finally got my business kit from Rodan & Fields.  Started using the *Reverse* and love the way it makes my skin feel.  If anyone is interested in purchasing the products or becoming a consultant, please email me at  debilawrence1@gmail.com

The weather has been great here in Calgary the last few weeks..high today of +1 and then climbing back up to +9 and above!  Sure beats what the east coast is getting!

New Brunswick weather: 60 cm of snow blankets Maritimes

Blowing snow advisory in effect for southeastern New Brunswick on Monday, conditions to improve gradually

CBC News Posted: Feb 16, 2015 6:10 AM AT Last Updated: Feb 16, 2015 11:44 AM AT
Several highways in southeastern New Brunswick remain closed on Monday, along with the Confederation Bridge between New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island.

Digging out from 60+ cm of snow!
  • OMG...from Saint Paul, NB  How would you even begin to tackle this!
    Bigger Blower might be required!

Hubby went to Red Deer & Lethbridge Branches last week and working on heading to Medicine Hat & Cranbrook shortly.  I worry about him driving during the winter but since the Main branch doesn't support him, he has to do this to earn a decent commission.
We have to work the next two weekends...OMG...doing inventory! You would think they would have a modern system for such a big company rather than doing this manually!

Have a great week everyone!  Be safe!  God Bless

PS:  no idea why there is a white background on this post!
