A famous contemporary Canadian once said: "Family isn't an important thing — it's everything."
We are quickly closing in on the end of 2017, and we are all looking forward to spending time with friends and loved ones. While the importance of family is ever-present in our minds — your families as well as our own — the words of Michael J. Fox seem to ring truest during the holiday season.

Un jour, un célèbre Canadien contemporain a dit : « La famille n'est pas simplement une chose importante, c'est la seule chose qui compte. »
La fin de 2017 arrive rapidement et nous sommes tous impatients de passer du temps avec nos amis et nos proches. Même si la famille a toujours une place importante dans nos esprits, notre famille comme la vôtre, les mots de Michael J. Fox revêtent une signification particulière pendant les Fêtes.

Skates were sharp on Dec. 1, 2017, for the second annual Canadian Forces School of Aerospace Technology and Engineering (CFSATE) Charity Hockey Game between the defending champions, CFSATE staff, and the hockey elite of CFSATE's student population, with the goal of raising funds and food for the Angus, ON, food bank.
As word spread throughout the school that this year's student team was going to pose a significant challenge to the staff, the organizer, Corporal Aaron Pledger swiftly engaged with the Toronto Maple Leafs organization to secure a ringer by acquiring retired Toronto Maple Leafs centre Jack Valiquette to play with the staff team.

Les patins étaient bien affûtés le 1er décembre 2017, lors de la deuxième partie de hockey de bienfaisance annuelle de l'École de technologie et du génie aérospatial des Forces canadiennes (ETGAFC). La joute, qui opposait les membres du personnel de l'ETGAFC, champions en titre, et l'élite du hockey parmi les stagiaires de l'ETGAFC, visait à recueillir des dons en argent et en denrées pour la banque alimentaire d'Angus, en Ontario.
Puisqu'on entendait dire à l'école que l'équipe des stagiaires de cette année représentait un adversaire de taille pour l'équipe du personnel, le caporal Aaron Pledger, organisateur de la partie, s'est empressé de prendre contact avec l'organisation des Maple Leafs de Toronto pour obtenir les services d'un attaquant vedette, Jack Valiquette, ancien centre des Maple Leafs, afin de grossir les rangs de l'équipe du personnel.

The presents are donated mainly by military personnel, community members and businesses in the Simcoe County region.

The Canadian and British governments recently appeared before a U.S. tribunal arguing against the imposition of duties on Bombardier planes, in a hearing highlighting the more aggressive use of trade remedies in Donald Trump's America.
Canada's ambassador to Washington said potential duties of up to 300 per cent on Bombardier's C-Series jet are illegitimate as he urged the U.S. International Trade Commission to cancel them in its final impending determination.
