All in a Day’s Work
What do skateboard wheels, a crack pipe, tea lights, plastic cutlery, and Band-Aids have in common? They were collected by us Hot Tomalians at English Bay Beach as part of the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup on Sept 15. Aaah, I know… the things we get up to! This is the second year in a row Hot [...]
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 [...]
Thoughts from the Ad Age Small Agency Conference
The Hot Tomali team is back from a few days in New Orleans, having attended the fantastic Ad Age Small Agency Conference that brought together small agencies from across the continent to share insights and strategies on how to be better at what we do.

This epic 255 km bike trek from Vancouver to Seattle takes place to raise money for BC Cancer Foundation. [...]
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 [...]
Cookin’ for a Cause
When the office cries for a chili luncheon, they come crying to me. And knowing that the chili bowls in the office would be full for a good cause, I didn’t have a difficult time stepping up to the plate. On Friday afternoon, as part of Hot Tomali’s commitment to United Way, we all took [...]

The 200 km ride from Vancouver to Seattle takes place on June 20-21, 2009. Our involvement in this event is largely driven by stories close to us. We want to celebrate our journey [...]
Daffodil Days 2009
Every Spring, Canadian Cancer Society volunteers are busy selling and delivering bright yellow daffodils to help raise money in support of the fight against cancer. The daffodil is the Canadian Cancer Society’s symbol of hope. The bright, cheerful blooms are sold every year and mark the beginning of Daffodil Month. For over 50 years, daffodil [...]
