A Holiday Message

As I look back at 2024 and the breadth of curated events the DML team was able to share with our Canadian Community, I am filled with happiness and pride.

From our tech-related discussion panels and Canadian-focused sporting events to the signature and consistently sold-out Canada Day Picnic, Thanksgiving Dinner and our support of the Silicon Valley Terry Fox Run it was quite a year!

I want to personally thank all our sponsors and partners that helped to make this possible.

And of course none of this would be possible without YOU!. Your participation, engagement and commitment to supporting a warm and welcoming sense of community demonstrates the Canadian roots that shape our identity and values.

I am so grateful and honored to be working with my DML board who give their time and energy to bring us together and create meaningful connections.

I am pleased to say that moving forward I will be sharing the role of Chair with Shaunda Toomasson our current Vice President. We will make a great team and we look forward to seeing you at many of our 2025 events. See details below for what’s coming in the new year.

Wishing you a safe, Happy Holiday and New Year.

Sarah Price, DML Chair

p.s. Try this Canadian Living stuffing recipe I make it every year; it’s delicious!

Canadian Thanksgiving 2024

Leave a reply

Earlier today Branch 25 was present for this Digital Moose Lounge and Berkeley Canadian Studies Program tradition – a beautifully curated Thanksgiving Dinner at the UC Berkeley Canadian Studies Alumni House. Members celebrated the special occasion with their Bay Area “family” with fallen leaves and fresh fall air on the patio in beautiful Berkeley.

The menu included:

Classic Thanksgiving turkey dinner
Sides – mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and root vegetables
Dessert – Nanaimo bars, pumpkin & apple pies
Gluten-free and vegan/vegetarian options available
Enjoy our selection of great Canadian wines and Canadian beer

The “extras”:

Poppies! From the SF Bay Area Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, Michael Barbour and Trevor Page, were be there with the beautiful red poppies folks remembered from back home!

Raffle Prizes! Including a pair of Air Canada tickets, signed San Jose Sharks jerseys and more were presented to lucky attendees!

Finally, this Thanksgiving Dinner Has 22 Questions… Canada’s longest-running comedy, This Hour Has 22 Minutes, is producing a prime-time TV special about this year’s U.S. election, which will air on CBC on Nov 4th. Correspondent Dan Dillabough and crew joined us for dinner and tried to solve the burning question “what’s it like to be a Canadian living in the Bay Area?”. Those who were interested had the opportunity to join the casual and relaxed conversation and answer some fun, light-hearted questions.

The formal presentations began with the national anthem, and here are the crowd singing along with the French version.

Pictures from the event are below.

Registration opens at 9:30 a.m.

We are partnering again with Bay Area Four Seasons Hotels (see press release) again to honour Terry Fox and his Marathon of Hope to help raise funds for cancer research. We are counting on our Digital Moose Lounge community to support us by joining our team to fundraise and participate in the 5km or 10km walk/run event or by making a donation.

The Four Seasons Hotel Silicon Valley has generously donated a gift certificate for a complimentary one-night stay at their gorgeous property that the DML will raffle off to anyone who makes a minimum $50 donation to our team here.

Three More Reasons to Join the Festivities:

Walk, run or bike your way through the beautiful Baylands Nature Preserve with hundreds of fellow enthusiastic people committed to continuing Terry’s legacy. #NoMatterWhat
The Four Seasons’ food truck will be stationed at the run/walk, with all proceeds benefiting the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK). You’ll enjoy delicious meals prepared and served by the hotel’s chefs while supporting a great cause! Bring your friends and family!
As run day approaches on Sunday, September 15, the Four Seasons Hotel Silicon Valley is offering a special room rate to participants. Find details here.
