“Customer Appreciation Days” are yet another reason I appreciate living in Canada.

As a relative Newbie to Canada I am still in awe of “Free Days” and “Customer Appreciation Days”.

The days when McDonalds gives coffee away for a week and Ben and Jerry gives Ice cream for the morning, when the local South African butcher does “borrie rolls” on a Saturday and Tim Horton gives doughnuts, these are the days I know I have made a good decision.

I know that life is not perfect no matter where you are, moving is hard and trying to understand the emotions associated with it, “complicated”, however it is the small things like a “Customer Appreciation Day” that make it all worthwhile.

It is these days that “free” takes on the true meaning of the word and it does highlight the “freedom” we are so blessed to currently experience.

I am in inspired by free sweets at Halloween and the freedom to walk the streets trick or treating, I am in awe of the Christmas parades and the Summer beach parties, I am in proud of a City and Country that has Theatre , History, Art and an endless stream of world renowned Entertainers. I am a believer in a city that is liberal, inclusive and freely accepting of each other’s, culture, diversity and religion.

Strangely enough these little things, are the ones that count!
