Looking for inspiration this week, came upon a new version of O Canada, by Winnipegger Ayodele Odeyemi. Called O Canada (Celebration Song) — it is the result of a collaboration between Odeyemi and Nigerian artist Opeyemi Olatunji, who performs under the name YemyTPX. The reworked version of the anthem was released online last month.
“The essential thing we need is to celebrate each other,” says Ayodele Odeyemi.

Yes we do.

In fact that’s the only way we can move forward.

And in addition to the words, there’s the beat – which works well for a few dance moves, including the classic chair dance.

Monitor your inspiration level after a couple of rounds of this tune. My guess is that you’ll have a smile on your face, and be ready tackle life’s hurdles once again.

At a time like this, when the viral pandemic and racism amongst other things is causing division, anger and grief, we choose to celebrate Canada's strength i...

Have always been fascinated by politics. Last year offered an opportunity to support a new take on that fascination. A school chum, Don Neydli, who writes under the pen name Bartholomew St. James, approached The Buzz about assisting him with the publication of his first novel!
Titled The Contrarian Candidate, it's a fictional account of a debate for the leadership of the Republican Party, in which the protagonist, Charlie Wyatt, a comic by trade, takes to the stage against the President.
Following an in-depth analysis of contemporary world events and politics, the book builds to a gripping climax which promises laughs, tears, and a thoughtful reflection of the Trump term.
It's an important book, because as it's been said, one can't really go forward without having learned from the past.
Available through Amazon.
Is this an advertisement for The Contrarian Candidate? Yes.
Is this book a good read? Yes.
Should you buy the book? Yes.

So businesses are all trying their best to smile and march along while doing everything they can to survive and thrive during the pandemic.

Sometimes new signage can help out.

With only one door officially open at The Forks Market, Paul Langel, co-owner at Tall Grass Prairie Bread Company had been noticing people pulling at other doors trying to get in.

Here's the solution. Signage!

Check out this new banner - hung at the entrance between Ellements Wine + Spirits and Grass Roots Prairie Kitchen.

The doors at this entrance are your way into The Forks Market!
