Hot Tomalians Get Off Our Butts and Clean Up 1,000 Cigarette Butts
So we didn’t snag a beach location for our Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup, held Sept 18–26 this year, but the East Vancouver park we went to was very close to the shoreline — and close to our office. Oxford Park evoked no images of posh Oxford, England; it’s just a small grassy area with a [...]

Cookin’ for a Cause II: Lasagne
I learned two very important things this week: The guys at Hot Tomali have very ravenous appetites, and Making two pans of lasagne in one go is a real pain in the ass. At the end of October, I created a team and convinced the boys of Hot Tomali to grow moustaches in the name [...]

We all must find a way to find a cure. [...]
