How perfect is this, Canada Day falls on a Friday this year, do you have any plans? Well, I really hope that you do not have to work on that day for an Ottawa roofing company or even worse working as a sunrooms specialist because I heard it is going to be one hot one, especially in Muskoka!

Okay, so you’re all finished up with your Toronto accountants and have paid your taxes in full and you even registered your son already for an IT Staffing class in the best school in the GTA, so now what?

Oh that is right..I guess you need to know what is going on, so that is why I am here to help.

Monty Black’s Deck Party on Lake Joseph

Well, my Canada Day turned out pretty wicked, I hit up Lake Joesph with a few friends where Monty Black through a private deck party for friendly cottagers. We all sat around the boat house in the blazing hot sun where there was a bbq, chairs and a huge crowd of people from all over the region.

That had to of been the best Canada Day I have ever had and I cannot wait until next year, I bet I know where I will be going.

What did everyone else get up to on their Canada Day? I bet it was just as fun-filled as mine was.
