This year marked my 12th Canada Day in Singapore, and Canada’s 143rd birthday. Over the years I’ve spent several Canada Days with friends from the Canadian Association of Singapore. This year, His Excellency David Sevigny and his lovely wife, Madam Mary Broderick, hosted a Canada Day BBQ for members and friends of the CAS. A great time was had by all. There was a Canada Day cake, hotdogs and hamburgers galore, fancy cupcakes, cookies, savory snacks, and Nanaimo bars aplenty. Old friends caught up over bottles of Dead Frog beer and new friendships were forged. We sang “Oh Canada” with proud voices after listening to David Sevigny’s inspiring speech. Canada Day venues and events may change, but the festivities are always enjoyable and make me feel like a true Canadian even though I am thousands of miles away from home.
Happy Birthday Canada! You still look great at 143.
