It’s not often that we post about internal matters, but we figured the more people who hear about this, the better. Our CEO, Mario Livich, will be volunteering with the Variety Show of Hearts Telethon on Sunday (tomorrow, February 12) to raise money for children with special needs.
There will be fabulous performances by Michael Buble, Jennifer Hudson, Kelly Clarkson, Adele, and many more, and Mario (along with a ton of other fantastic volunteers) will be spending some time taking phone calls from viewers who’d like to donate. Please tune in – it will be some wonderfully entertaining TV, and if you’re able to make a donation, it would mean a lot to a group of very special kids.
On Sunday, you can reach Mario directly at 604.529.3001. You can also reach the main line toll-free anywhere in BC or Alberta by simply dialing 310-KIDS (5437), or visit Variety online at variety.bc.ca. Please consider donating – you could really make a difference in a child’s life!

Rugby star Adam Kleeberger, of White Rock, BC, has one of the world’s most famous beards. The national captain’s wild beard gained him infamy during the Rugby World Cup – looking like a cross between a lumberjack and a wildebeest, the player’s bizarre appearance was only matched by his performance against Tonga, winning him a Man of the Match award.
That’s set to change, though: Kleeberger will be given a clean shave by none other than famed Canadian TV presenter Rick Mercer. On October 17, Mercer is set to remove Kleeberger’s beard on his show, the Rick Mercer Report, to raise awareness of “Movember,” a campaign in which men grow moustaches in the month of November to raise money and awareness about prostate cancer. You can learn more and donate at Kleeberger’s “Movember” page: http://ca.movember.com/mospace/605978/

CFL football has a new home in Vancouver: its old one. The fabulously revamped BC Place, traditional home of the Lions, is open for business again, and its first customers will be the Edmonton Eskimos – ready for an extra-large order of bone-crunching football, on the house.
The game, which will see the two teams face off after a 36-1 Lions victory at their last meeting, will be a chance for the Eskimos to prove themselves – and you can be sure the players are aware. The Lions, on the other hand, are eager to continue their winning streak. No matter the outcome, it’s sure to be a tense game.
Almost of equal consideration will be the experience of the brand-new stadium. Featuring more natural light, a brand-new, state-of-the-art retractable roof, vast digital screens to catch more of the action than ever before, and an incredible new sound system, the stadium is a totally new experience. The seats are even three inches wider, so don’t be to worried about hitting the concession stands.
Of course, this won’t be just another football game: the opening will be marked by a marvelous gala, featuring an incredible halftime show and internationally acclaimed recording artist Sara McLachlan to sing the national anthem.
