Raptors and Christmas!

Last week, Jesse met me at work and we headed in my little blue car for Toronto. We were headed to a Raptors Game sponsored by JustEnergy. I write an Environmental Athletics blog for work and JustEnergy invited me to check out the greening initiatives they have taken with the Air Canada Centre and to take in the game.

Naturally, I was curious and it was even better as I could take Jesse to experience it with me!

 

We met before the game at an alternate gate where the Director of Building Operations took the media group on a tour of the building.

It was fantastic to see everything they have instigated there, such as a composting system, reusing water and LED lighting.  We even got to see the Raptor’s cheerleaders back stage!

We were then invited up to the JustEnergy suite to take in the game and enjoy a dinner. It was a fantastic experience and I was able to meet some fascinating people who were able to give me a wealth of new topics and people to explore in sports and the environment industry.

 

 

I know I don’t talk all that much about work on the blog, but I feel so blessed to absolutely love what I do everyday. Writing and running are two of my greatest passions and it is so exciting to be able to piece them together and get paid for it.

I am so excited to share what the ACC has in store for their future and the wonderful steps they are already taking. I will be sharing all of their work in the next month or so on my blog at work and I will be sure to share the link here as well.

Now that I am on a work tangent, I have a super exciting interview with an incredible athlete that will be released in two parts after the holidays: on Alternatives Journal website and also with Green Living. Worth checking out because there is a giveaway!

Wishing you a very MERRY CHRISTMAS tomorrow with your family and friends. I hope that you take the most of every opportunity and have a relaxing and joyous day. I will be taking the rest of the week off of my regular blogging schedule but will return to regular times in 2013. I have lots of exciting things planned and I cannot wait to share them with you!

I love you all.
