CURLING WITH TEAM BULLOCK
Leslie invited some of her clients out to a fun curling day at the Burlington Curling Club. Elaine Gowman, Client Care Manager for Team Bullock, provided instruction with her husband, Doug. Here's some pictures of the activity.

East Plains United Church, located at 375 Plains Rd. East, Burlington, ON, L7T 2C7 will be the site of Earth Day activities. Sponsored by the Aldershot Lions Club and the Aldershot BIA, please meet on the boulevard of East Plains Church at 10 AM SATURDAY APRIL 21, 2012. Gloves and garbage bags will be provided. Refreshments will be served. The event will end at noon. I hope to see you there.
It's EARTH HOUR on SATURDAY MARCH 31 beginning at 8 PM. Remember to "switch off' all electronics, unplug from the grid and enjoy one hour of quiet time. How lucky we are to enjoy the City of Burlington as the second best place to live in Canada. We often take for granted that when we flip the light switch, we will have unlimited light; where electrical appliances are the norm in everyday life. Take some time with your family to enjoy EARTH HOUR.

The downtown area of Burlington was originally a land grant given to Joseph Brant by which king? How large was the grant?
The grant was presented to the Mohawk war chief for his services during the American Revolutionary War by George III. It consisted of 1,380 hectares (3,450 acres) on the lakeshore overlooking Lake Geneva (Hamilton Harbour), Lake Ontario and the Beach Strip. The tract of land became know as Brant's Block.
