Nova Scotia’s Pan Am Princess Ellie Black!
In the words of one of the CBC broadcasters last week, “Every young girl in Canada wants to be the next Ellie Black.” source And in these games, I don’t think there has been a more true statement. Ellie is powerhouse, and was a force to be reckoned with last week coming home as the most […]

Dance Fitness: Uptown Funk
I’m aware I am behind the times only bringing this song out now. Sometimes it takes me a while to get going.
