Earth Hour Dragons
Although we never officially called it “Earth Hour”, our family has a tradition of turning out the house lights, sitting on our front porch. We often looked up to the stars and would compete with each other to see which constellations we could find, the Big Dipper was always the easiest to spot, but my favourite was Draco, the Dragon.
I’ll Meet You There
“I’ll meet you by the fountain” was a common statement when I was growing up. When my friends and I went to a movie or out to grab a burger we always met at the “fountain”. Yes, it was a water fountain, but to us it became so much more.
Being SMART Comes Naturally
I remember washing day at my house. My mom would walk room to room with a basket on her hip rounding-up dirty towels and wayward socks. You could hear the washing machine knocking 2 floors up and freshly laundered T-shirts would magically appear in my room.

Water is one of our most precious natural resources and something that most of us take for granted. We are now increasingly becoming aware of the importance of water to our survival and its limited supply.

West 5: Fostering Young Minds
Hi, it’s Richard here. I’m often blown away by how socially conscious – and collectively powerful – the youth of today are. More than ever, they’re grasping the impact they have on the future of our world, from social, economic and environmental perspectives.
West 5: A Legacy Project
Hi, it’s Richard here. They say that every great story has a beginning – and for Sifton, it all started in 1923 here in London, Ontario. My grandfather, Harry Sifton, built his first home at 587 Rosedale Avenue in London, where it still currently stands.
