Montreal’s Martine Charbonneau placed 6th in both the 1000-meter and 10km points/ elimination races at the Pan American Games in Gudelajara, Mexico. Charbonneau skated the 1000-meter in place of Morgane Echardour who wasn’t feeling well.
Before returning home, the Canadian team marched along with athletes from 42 countries from across the Americas in a beautifully produced Closing Ceremony.

Alain Quintard en Roller Pour une Levée Pour la Société de la SP
Dimanche de la semaine dernière, j’ai patiné les 50 Kms du “Toronto Bike Tour“ dans le cadre de la levée de fonds pour la Société de la SP.
Tout s’est bien passé!
Le temps était parfait pour cette randonnée : un peu frais le matin au départ mais un beau ciel bleu ensoleillé et quelques nuages bénéfiques qui m’ont permis de rester “cool“ tout le temps. Il y avait une légère brise qui me poussait dans le dos dans la deuxième moitié du parcours.
La route était toujours la même, le long de la rivière Humber pour la plupart du temps et dans quelques quartiers résidentiels de l’ouest de Toronto. Je commence maintenant à connaitre toutes les côtes et dénivellations, les virages, les sections d’asphalte plus rugueuses (et il y en a trop à mon goût) et même les crevasses dans la chaussée, cauchemars des patineurs.

Do new exercise guidelines send the right message?
The big picture is quite clear: Canadians need to move a lot more and sit a lot less. It’s the details that have caused some confusion.
While the new exercise guidelines released Monday are straightforward, the rationale is leaving some people scratching their heads. That’s because while the message is to exercise more often and more intensely, the recommended minimum levels of physical activity for children and adults have been reduced — from 90 minutes to an hour a day for kids and teens, and from an hour a day to 150 minutes a week for adults.
