This Summer, Canada Had A Sing-A-Long
Recently, people across Canada came together in a unique and emotional musical experience.
Canadians said thank-you and good-bye to the iconic rock band, The Tragically Hip.

UK Decides To Leave European Union
The people in the UK have voted to leave the European Union (the EU).
The European Union is a group of 28 countries in Europe that have agreed to co-operate—to all become one group, in many ways. For instance, people in European Union countries can travel, live and work easily in any other EU country. And businesses that are in the European Union can send products back and forth more easily. Nineteen of the EU countries all use the same money–the Euro.

In Finding Dory, a forgetful blue fish named Dory becomes lost, and must be reunited with special people in her life.

And then imagine never using it yourself, not even once, to save a life. Until you were 96 years old.
That’s exactly what happened to Dr. Henry Heimlich.
Muhammad Ali: Float Like A Butterfly…
Every sport has an icon: one person who defines what that sport looks, sounds, and feels like. In the boxing world, there is no single fighter who could be said to have a greater claim to that title than Muhammad Ali. Ali changed the sport of boxing, flipped it on its head, and, in-so-doing became the inspiration of all the young boxers who followed in his “butterfly-like” footsteps. But, perhaps, even more impressively, Muhammad Ali changed the way all athletes are regarded.
