Oh, yes. I'm also in the South Glengarry pipe band (about 90% of us have both the SG and SD&G uniforms), and we're one of the duty bands on the day before the Games proper, then we play the Tattoo that evening.

Nice vid and pics PnD sound well. It's funny really that Rupert foot drill would appear to be pants over your side of the pond too!:-D

Jim Brownell former MPP for your area will be inducted as the next Honorary Lieutenant-Colonel of the SD&G Highlanders, The Glens, on April 4th.

Yep, Jim is a great guy and the honour is well deserved.

We applied here in NY state for both passports and enhanced licenses late January and got them 13 days later! I was verily impressed. Get your papers in order!

I assume both Violi's and the Village Inn are still open in Massena? It's been a long time since we were up that way, but those were our favorite places to go.

Best of luck to ya!

I've also missed out on day trips across the river to Sprague's and Trombino's in Massena.

Hi
Not trying to divert the conversation, but might a passerby inquire as to what an "enhanced license" is, or what benefits it bestows?

I've never heard of such, and have had no problems, driving or rental, during many visits to Canada.

Thanks!
JT

I only know what I am told JT, and I have been told that either I bring my birth certificate with me when going to Canada or bring an enhanced license or passport. I haven't been in to Canada in a while since they passed these new laws or regulations, but I do not like having problems at Customs/Immigration!

Where do you live?

Well, we are the equivalent of the TA, so be kind. ;-)

Thank you so very much for posting these and for the PM sent today, I greatly appreciate both!

And I apologize for the late reply, as you may or may not know, I've been offline for sometime due to my school studies.

Thanks again!

And here's a video of the regiment parading on last Remembrance Day.

I would've liked to have simply appended this to your thread, but unfortunately it's locked.
