Hey Kids!

This message is for everyone who has Globe and Mail access - on page A5 (at least in the Toronto and Victoria editions - so probably all editions) there is a picture of a cathedral made out of tuna cans, with a sardine can floor, a baby food bell tower, and granola bar grass, as part of an annual competition in support of the Daily Bread Food Bank in Toronto.

The Cathedral, made out of approx. $8,000 worth of food, was the winner of the structural award this year. It was designed and built by my mom's engineering firm! How cool is that!! So everyone, check it out if you get a chance.

my favourite is "more than just peanuts".

Those are super cool. Did your mom get to help make them or just design?

She got to help make the cathedral, (I think it took like 20 people 6 hours to build it - or something crazy like that) but she is the firms accountant, so she had no designing duties. (And the snoopy one is from somewhere in America, I just put it up because I liked it :)
