🧧The Origin of #LionDance 🦁 Long long time ago, a creature called "👹 #Nian 👹", would haunt the villages every year on Chinese New Years Eve. Although Nian did not harm people, it would destroy all the crops in the villages. One year, the villagers decided they've had enough and needed to take action. They gathered everyone around, with farm tools as weapons. They also used bamboo, paper mache, multi-coloured cloths sewn together to make a #lion , and banged drums, cymbals and gongs, as well as light firecrackers to scare Nian away. Nian no longer haunt the villages. From then on, the villagers turned this into an annual event, and gave each other red packets as a way to wish everyone a good year ahead.🦁
Oriental Cultural Community Service Centre (OCCSC), a non-profit, autonomous organization, officially registered with the Government in Edmonton in 2013. OCCSC is a leading Chinese community to promote healthy lifestyle. OCCSC's mission is to inherit and carry forward traditional Chinese culture, and to provide high-quality and low-cost social, cultural and sport activities to the community, and to promote seniors, immigrants and low-income people to live proactively and stay healthy. OCCSC has been growing quickly and becoming a predominantly new community in Edmonton in the previous years. Members come from different places, speaking different languages and dialects. We quickly become good friends because we share the common interest, similar value, and the same goal. During the past, our activities have expended dramatically, including Tai Ji 24 forms, Taiji 48 forms, Zumba fitness, folk dance, ballroom dance, fashion show, Chinese calligraphy, recital, yoga, hiking, volleyball, singing and various seminars. In the past years, we have actively served the community. We have provided volunteer performances at annual Edmonton International Heritage Festival, senior homes, schools, the Chinese Lunar New Year Celebration show. We have raised fund for the people in the disaster areas. In the past several years, we have organized a variety of cultural and recreational activities. We organized the Chinese Food Festival during the traditional Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival. We visited Germany commune. We have also organized various annual activities such as the graduation ceremony, the summer hiking trip, the "family day" in the park, the Christmas and New Year's parties. We have achieved tremendously! In the future, OCCSC will carry its mission to promote Oriental culture in Canada, to encourage the cultural exchanges among various ethnic groups, to contribute to the multiculturalism in Canada. Everyone is welcome to join us!
“I do not think so.” The music is prefect for the talk with Justin Trudeau and the Red-T.

Sitting exactly 5,280 feet above sea level, Denver has the highest elevation of any major U.S. city. 5,280 feet = 1 mile = 1.6 km

Ed Sheeran - Perfect I found a love, for me Darling, just dive right in and follow my lead Well, I found a girl, beautiful and sweet Oh, I never knew you were the someone waiting for me 'Cause we were just kids when we fell in love Not knowing what it was I will not give you up this time But darling, just kiss me slow Your heart is all I own And in your eyes, you're holding mine Baby, I'm dancing in the dark With you between my arms Barefoot on the grass Listening to our favourite song When you said you looked a mess I whispered underneath my breath But you heard it Darling, you look perfect tonight Well, I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I'll share her home I found a lover, to carry more than just my secrets To carry love, to carry children of our own We are still kids, but we're so in love Fighting against all odds I know we'll be alright this time Darling, just hold my hand Be my girl, I'll be your man I see my future in your eyes Baby, I'm dancing in the dark With you between my arms Barefoot on the grass Listening to our favorite song When I saw you in that dress, looking so beautiful I don't deserve this Darling, you look perfect tonight (No, no, no) Baby, I'm dancing in the dark With you between my arms Barefoot on the grass Listening to our favorite song I have faith in what I see Now I know I have met an angel in person And she looks perfect I don't deserve this You look perfect tonight Songwriters: Ed Sheeran For non-commercial use only.

Melbourne 930 gets some love! Melbourne 930 is a W6 class tram from Melbourne, Australia. Built in 1947 and in service in Melbourne until 1998, 930 is a refined variant of the standard W-class tram that first went in to production in 1923. 930 is more modern than our wooden Edmonton cars (namely Edmonton 33), with partial steel construction, a relay-based controller system, and an elaborate air-operated door system. These features make 930 a smooth and easy car to drive, but maintenance can be more complex than on our simpler, older cars.
