Canada Day at Grand Memories

Most of the guests at this resort are Canadian.  So every Monday is Canada Day here.  I imagine that might change in the next few years, as Cuba and the USA reconcile.  And more Americans are at the resorts.

Every day here at the resort, the staff offer activities.  Today, the theme was “Canada”.  The staff wore “I love Canada” t-shits or red cowboy hats. They decorated the pool area with red banners and even a large Canada flag.  It was fun.

 

But things got a little awkward, during the trivia event.  Initially, the questions were about Canada.  What are the three territories?  Easy!  But things got dicey when they asked the year of the first “cup” hockey game in Canada.  I think they said the answer was 1976.  Really???  I think something got lost in translation.  Then.  Which is the most bilingual province in Canada?  I thought New Brunswick.  They said Quebec.  More debate.  So they switched to questions about Cuba.  Funny!  How many professional baseball teams in Cuba?  Seventeen.  One for each province.  I think.  But no one debated the answer.  All was good.

Towards the end of the afternoon, they even served a big Canada flag cake!
