Can you believe we’re halfway through June already? That means Canada Day is right around the corner! Canada Day is a BIG event for us. I admit that I feel a bit emotional whenever the national anthem is sung or whenever I see Canadians across the nation band together in unison. On the Island, we participate in Canada festivities like our local Canada Day parade, a fish fry, and fireworks.
Friends and family also know that we love entertaining on our farm. This year, Giant Tiger is helping us show our true colours and helping us be #CanadaProud!
This year, to celebrate our nation, Giant Tiger (GT Boutique, as I affectionately call them) issued a Mystery Box Challenge and I accepted. I’ll be sharing photos on my social media networks of how we’re getting ready for Canada Day! All of the photo shares will culminate at the end of the month in our Canada Day post! We’re pretty excited to show you what we’ve created for Canada Day! Stay tuned!
Here’s how we’re kicking off our Mystery Box Challenge!
Did You Know…
Giant Tiger is the largest Canadian-owned family discount store. Ever since I moved up to the Island, I’ve been getting our Canada Day items at Giant Tiger. They have everything from Canada-themed apparel for the entire family, to items for outdoor entertaining, and they even have FIREWORKS!
Visit a Giant Tiger store near you, or peruse www.gianttiger.com. Trust me. They have everything you need to have a fun Canada Day celebration!
Thinking of Canadian families
From June 29 –July 12, Canadians can show their support for our troops by making a donation at participating Giant Tiger Stores across Canada. For every donation made, customers will receive a thank you card that allows them (and their family) to write a note to the men and women that keep our country safe. The best part? These notes will be placed in care packages that will be delivered to our Canadian troops abroad during the holidays!
Just by accepting Giant Tiger’s Mystery Box Challenge, Giant Tiger will donate $50 on my behalf to the Canadian Forces Morale and Welfare Services, providing support to our military men and women. Wait! If you thought that was generous, Giant Tiger is also offering a $50 gift card for one lucky Life on Manitoulin reader.
Giveaway open to residents of Canada, excluding Quebec. Giveaway ends 6/29/2015.

Low down payment government loans (FHA or VA) are becoming increasingly available and can be 3% – 6% of the
price of the home. The most typical one of these is a 30 year
fixed rate. Each house loan program will have its own individual set of rules.
So do your homework and search at the source itself. Your debt ratios can also be
specific, based upon on the state he could be residing in. Take advantage of this important tool
before looking for a home.
