performing in Brantford, ON at the Sanderson Centre for the Performing
Arts on Monday October 19, 2009, 1:30 & 7:00 p.m.

Jake?s Gift is a surprisingly funny drama about 80-year-old Jake, a World
War II veteran who reluctantly returns to Normandy, France, for the 60th
Anniversary of the D-Day invasion. While revisiting the beach he landed on
sixty years earlier, Jake encounters 10-year-old Isabelle, a precocious
local girl whose inquisitive nature and charm challenge the old soldier to
confront some long-ignored ghosts.

In 2004, Julia traveled to Normandy, France, for the 60th Anniversary of
D-Day. While there, she interviewed dozens of WW2 veterans from Canada,
Britain and America who had returned for the ceremonies.

Since 2007, Vancouver based actress and playwright Julia Mackey has been
performing her multi-character one-woman show to rave reviews and standing
ovations at festivals & theatres across the country.

Ferry service soon to be a choice for five Southern Caribbean destinations 2009/2010

Ferry service soon to be a choice for five Southern Caribbean destinations

By Linda Straker, eTN Staff Writer | Aug 19, 2009

ST. GEORGE’S, Grenada - Five destinations in the southern Caribbean will
soon enjoy an inter-island passenger ferry service that will cost almost
one-third of the amount it cost to travel to the islands by air.
As of October 01, 2009, the service will be offered to residents of
Barbados, St. Vincent, St. Lucia, Trinidad and Grenada. Owned and operated
by BEDY Ocean Lines in Grenada the service will officially be launched on
October 1, but will make its maiden voyage departing from each of the
destinations on October 20, 2009.
Costing between US$120 and US$140 and already inclusive of relevant
government taxes associated with inter-island travel including Value Added
Taxes. In Grenada’s case, it will be implemented as of February 2010.
The duration of a trip from each country will range between one and half
hours to three and half hours. “These are passenger speed boats and it will
it make more or less time to arrive in each destination because naturally
some islands are closer to each but basically no trip will not extend beyond
three and a half hours,” BEDY Ocean Lines CEO Benjamin Ross said.
The company had originally planned to launch the service in July, but had to
delay the service to facilitate a second ferry. This has resulted in one
ferry making St. Vincent its home and will service the St. Vincent to
Barbados and St. Lucia routes, while the second ferry will be based in
Grenada and will service the Grenada to Trinidad and Barbados route. The
seating capacity per boat will be 260 and 300, respectively. The company
hopes that very soon into the operation, other neighboring countries will be
added.
Speaking about safety, Ross said that the vessels, with American and
Caribbean crew, would contain a radio system to communicate with the nearest
port and immigration at each destination.
There will also be certain rules and regulations in place for passengers’
safety. “For instance, passengers must be at the check-in area at least 30
minutes before departure and would be searched and subjected to customs and
immigration laws,” he said, while confirming that no alcoholic beverages
would be consumed on board.
Speaking about the baggage and ticketing system, Ross said the free baggage
allowance would be two pieces at a maximum of 60 pounds, plus a carry-on.
Extra pieces would only be accepted on a space available basis. Tickets will
be valid for a maximum of 60 days will be non-refundable and passengers
would be allowed to change their reservations up to three hours before a
scheduled departure.
Promising to provide patrons with a fast, reliable, comfortable, safe and
extremely cheap way to travel, the ferry services come at a time when the
traveling public has been negatively affected by high airline rates and
baggage restrictions.
“This ferry will be offering daily service to the islands mentioned and
management is confident that customers will have a perfect way of reuniting
with families and friends while business persons will now have a reliable
mode of travel,” the company said in a statement.

France, events in autumn 2009

Filed under: France, Europe, Switzerland- Suisse, Places to Travel — Amingeangetty @ 12:07 pm

September in France is the month of the grape harvest, reason why we are dedicating its first newsletter to wine tourism: discover France through its terroirs! Regions in all four corners of France are celebrating wine - the perfect occasion for oenophiles to indulge in their passion in unique settings, often Unesco World Heritage Sites. To help you make any evening a success, learn how to truly savour a good wine, decrypt the information given on labels and which fabulous nectar to pair with a meal. September is also the perfect time to discover organic wines, or to head to Aquitaine or Bourgogne for some pleasurable vinotherapy. For hikers and cyclists, you can be initiated to oenology while trekking in Alsace. Closer to home, don’t miss out on another event highlighting France, with the September 25th release of the movie, Coco avant Chanel. Discover the France of Gabrielle Chanel!
Enjoy!

Director for Canada
