Happy Canada Day everyone! Even though there are no fireworks on Parliament Hill this year, I wanted to share this picture by Justin Tang because it reminds me of beautiful Canada Days past. We spent the evening with good friends on their patio after not having seen them for 3 months. Can’t think of a better way to celebrate. 😀 Grateful to all of you for being part of my virtual community in this difficult time. I’m sending you warmest wishes. #happycanadaday #happybirthdaycanada #canada

Dame Vera Lynn passed away today at the age of 103

Dame Vera Lynn passed away today at the age of 103. I’ve always loved her signature song “We’ll Meet Again” and when COVID hit and we all went into lockdown, Adrian and I recorded our version of it for CBC Ottawa Morning and as a fundraiser for the @ottawafoodbank because the message of hope and reassurance was so strong and felt so right for the times. In honour of Dame Vera, we will play it again this Saturday for our Father’s Day special livestream concert on my YouTube channel at 5pm ET. Hope you’ll join us. #dameveralynn #restinpeace #singer @cbc @cbcottawa #cbcottawa @adrianchophotography

Longing for vast expanses... this was the view from the train as we crossed the Prairies during a wonderful cross-Canada trip in 2015. It all seems so exotic now. Even the concept of getting on a train... Via Rail, I miss you, freight train delays and all! #prairies #viarail #canadian #stayhomecanada
