With June well underway it’s time for an update.

Last weekend was pretty cool. On Saturday I played in the Burnaby Play On! street hockey Celebrity Media game, on behalf of Act Now BC. Great event. I was out there with the likes of Ian Hanomansing, our mayor Gregor Robertson, and my fellow Act Now BC ambassador Sian Bagshawe. Our team was particularly strong on this day, I attribute that to Gregor’s fine work on the point. We had a lot of fun.

This week I have been busy with both NG Farrell, Green Grads and my role as Young Ambassador.

There are some special things happening at NG Farrell. Next month, one of our favourite clients Josh Beamish will be showing off his contemporary dance rock concert “Sold Doubt” at the Vancouver Playhouse, July 9^th and 10^th. Pretty cool concept. All the classics from No Doubt paired with dance.

With the Green Grads site up and running, it has been a busy week getting everything in order and letting our clients know about the change. I like the site, but it will need some improvements over the summer to get to where I want it to be. I like to ensure that the vision is apparent in everything I do. Good exterior cleaning service, in an eco-friendly way, by responsible and honest students.

Finally, the first fifteen athletes were named yesterday to Canada’s Youth Olympic Games Team! Pretty amazing to actually meet those athletes for the first time online, introduce myself, and get them engaged on Facebook. It’s cool to see the names, and sports, and be a part of the beginning of their journey in international sports.

Part TWO

Bring on the Olympics! Plenty of anticipation for Friday’s kickoff to the Games as the sporting world turns its attention to Vancouver, (or at least in a few days after the Superbowl hangover wears off). Tonight I have a big dress rehearsal for the Ceremonies, complete with a partial audience. If you’re going, you’re lucky! It’s going to be fun.

Thanks to Davis Wuolle, NG Farrell just finished up a slick page for Georgia, at www.georgiasimmerling.com. She’s training at the moment, but up to Whistler in a few days. You can follow her @gsimmerling

Trying to figure out how to best spend my free time during the Games, so I’m open to suggestions? There’s plenty to do, both in Vancouver and Richmond. If you’re up for the bus ride, I’m sure Whistler has an abundance of activities. I’ll be at the O Zone in Richmond with ActNow BC, to spread the message of healthy living, no doubt this might include a visit to Heineken Holland House which is somewhat counter to that message BUT I’d like to add that a positive dose of fun doesn’t hurt your health at all!

The best part of this week will have to be picking up my mom from the airport tomorrow, and showing her around Olympic Vancouver. She was the catalyst for my love of sport. My aunts always tell me how my mom was never idle from some sort of athletic activity, much like me. We’ll have fun together. My morning runs will be less lonely for a few days!
