This weekend our little family had the pleasure of relaxing on Stanley Island. Baby T’s paternal family owns a cabin out there and we made plans to stay for a day or two.

The morning we were getting ready to go I was all stressed out because I wanted the house to be clean before we shipped out and with the packing-unpacking war I was having with Baby T it wasn’t happening. When it was time to pack a bag for Baby...

This makes us unique since we are the only department in the country that has an international seaway running through it. We cover the St. Lawrence River from the Snell Locks to east of Lake St. Francis. That’s a huge area if you take a look at it on a map or if you’ve ever been out there on a boat. One night after grassfire season we had a huge drop...

A convincing 12-4 victory over the Burlington Chiefs on Sunday swung the momentum of the series back in Akwesasne’s favour. “That’s the first game this series where we played an entire 60 minutes, “ commented head coach Adam Thompson. “Joe [Tallis] was huge for us in nets and the offence clicked for us.” The series has been mired in controversy as after getting a win in game...
