The first one takes place May 24th, it is the Relay for Life in support of the Cancer Society. Two of my collegues have invited me to join their team at this event.

Drivers are always warned at this time of the year to pay extra attention in school zones because the kids are headed back to school and with their excitement they may not be as attentive to the vehicles around them. That's great, I get that. What I don't get is the parents who do these two things:

July 29th is fast approaching! Does that day ring any bells? Have you heard about something going on that day? Let me help jog your memory.
Sunday July 29th is the day when Manitobans need to use the 10 digit dialing. This change is needed because in November 2012 we will have a new area code coming to Manitoba. The new area code (431) is needed because we are running out of numbers on the 204 area ...

With only 5 regular season games left, the chance of Winnipeg Jets making the playoffs seems unlikely, but is not completely impossible. Winnipeg fans need the stars and the moons to align perfectly, that is probably not going to happen though. Things could be worse for Winnipeg fans, last year we didn't even have a team to cheer on.
