“The 1868 Red Ensign, which features the coats of arms of the four newly united provinces of Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, was in use for only three years after an independent Canada was formed on July 1, 1867. The 142-year-old Canadian flag in “pristine” condition is to be sold at a June auction in Toronto, where bidders for the Confederation-era relic are expected to pay up to $60,000 to acquire the “rare piece of Canadian history.” (via the Vancouver Sun)

Bits of things I find and share
For 80% of the work week, I'm the station manager of CFUR radio in Prince George. For the other 20%, I work on the CBC radio program Daybreak North. I'm also the communications director of the Coldsnap Music Festival.
I've been a mill worker, coffee shop hack, newspaper editor, BC government employee, marketing assistant, DJ, knife salesman, research assistant, & ESL teacher in Wuhan, China.
I'm also a homeowner, pet lover, and dodgeball player.
My Tumblr automatically imports items from my favourites set on Flickr, my shared items in Google reader and my loved tracks on the Hype Machine, alongside things I add manually.
