Yes, the Bank of Canada will be releasing $5 and $10 polymer notes on the 7th, which is the last remaining implementation.

As I was doing my post on Canada’s Parks Day, I found a photo of Lake Louise from a summer trip that reminded me how the lake’s emerald colour leave us mesmerized at how nature forms such a graceful scene. The beauty at its peak, however, only reveals itself as Spring (or really Summer) hits…

In June, the YYCFlood articles which our bloggers crafted in the matter of a few days reaffirmed how quick the internet had to react to current issues. We weren’t even out of the state of emergency as I was doing my blog article on how social media reacted to the Alberta Floods; my late additions…
