Isabel has Nelson, BC roots and loves going to cheer on the Nelson Maple Leafs when she is back at home. She hasn’t revealed who she’ll be cheering for at Canadian Heritage Night on the 2nd.

Partner Shout Outs
We were so pleased to share another Thanksgiving dinner with another sold-out crowd a few weeks ago. This annual event is thanks to great partnerships with Berkeley Canadian Studies, the Consulate as well as Trade & Invest BC who have all supported this DML Thanksgiving event since it started in 2017.
Trade & Invest BC representative, Mareese Keane, attended the dinner, but we didn’t invite her to the podium to share any words. Sorry, Mareese! We thought we’d share a fun fact:
6.4% of BC’s commodity exports are shipped to California which is the number two destination for British Columbia exports, and number three for Canada overall (Statistics Canada 2021)
Fun for Fall
You might remember a family apple tree growing up in Canada, so why not find a great U-Pick farm this fall and start a new tradition locally: The Best Bay Area Apple Picking Orchards
Poppy Campaign
Each year the Royal Canadian Legion conducts the Poppy Campaign, along with thousands of members who volunteer from coast to coast to coast, to raise funds in support of Veterans and their families. Poppies are distributed freely, but your generous donations are invaluable. Poppies are available and today, October 27th, is the launch of the campaign. Here’s where to find your Poppy, including at the Sharks Canadian Heritage Night Hockey Game next Thursday, November 2nd (last chance for tickets – sales close on Monday, October 30th).

Busty and the Bass
Saturday, November 25, 2023
8 p.m.
Popscene @ Rickshaw Stop
155 Fell Street San Francisc
“This multinational collective – composed of three Americans, three Canadians, and two Canadian-American dual citizens – met during their first week as students in the jazz
program at McGill University and jumped right into regular performances throughout the
city. As an instrumental act, they capitalized on any and every gig, taking $100 for a three-hour set or exchanging tunes for wine and hors d’oeuvres at a cocktail party. Performing for the pure joy of it. Riding grooves, building a community.
Eventually incorporating vocals, they quietly asserted themselves among Canada’s most-beloved live bands with marathon touring and invites to international festivals like Made
In America (USA) and 2Q Festival (UK).”
