Happy Canada Day! What does this day mean to you?

I’ve gone the gamut from running three-legged races and riding in parades, to charging around the rodeo arena with the maple leaf unfurled. (Here, with a magnificent horse called Ritz.) I’ve churned up many batches of homemade ice cream when I worked in the old cookhouse at a government-owned historic ranch. I’ve watched night-time fireworks from the back of a pick-up truck, with a wool blanket pulled over my knees. Yes, even in July!

Many times, I’ve quietly stayed home, riding or working in my garden, just grateful to be called a Canadian.

I understand and respect that many people have trouble celebrating the settling of this country. This is not a day of joy for them. I also see that some new to Canada might be confused by our customs and maybe, feeling homesick for dear people left behind. So, I try and hold space for them, as well.

But this is a great place. It’s been a safe place to call home and to raise a family. I’m proud to be here. More and more, I can only be grateful.

What will you be doing today? I’m going to saddle a gentle horse and for the first time in too many weeks, try and head out for a ride. It will do me a world of good.
