For 16 years Lasse Ericsson has been Canada’s Para Alpine coach. Today his 21-year-old son Kalle, in his first Paralympic race, won silver with his guide Sierra Smith.
Lasse told me his heart was racing. Bursting with pride. Spectacular stuff.

Purcell's Cove Road and going down by Regatta Point. I take the sidewalk around the rotary to Armview (because I don't want to die). I hate the bottom of Quinpool though, the sidewalk is atrocious.
Me too!
Can't wait for the @hfxtidesfc.bsky.social game! Hope this is true :)
