As the days grow shorter and the warmth of summer begins to fade, we’re taking a moment to look back on the exciting summer adventures of our CCI Grand River Chapter members. From travel escapades to backyard gatherings, our members made the most of the sunshine. Here’s a snapshot of what they’ve been up to this summer!

Family Fun & Staycations

Whether it was a Blue Jays game, concerts, or exploring nearby towns, family time was a common theme this summer. Mike Conway and family spent some quality time cheering on the Toronto Blue Jays, and catching up with friends!

Meanwhile, Henry and Marilyn Jansen enjoyed lunch at Heydays Restaurant at the June Motel in Sauble Beach. It’s clear that many of our members made the most of their time off, creating lasting memories with loved ones close to home!

Sweet Treats and The Great Outdoors

Marilyn and Henry Jansen had an exciting time taking their Polaris General for a ride through the rugged terrain of Wiarton, ON. The picturesque landscapes of the Bruce Peninsula served as the perfect backdrop for their off-road adventures, capturing the true spirit of outdoor exploration!

Meanwhile, Dushan Divjak cooled off with a classic summer treat—ice cream, while Stefan Nespoli soaked in the sunshine with a rooftop view that was hard to beat!In a more nautical twist, John Hayes sent us a stunning picture of the Canadian team’s sailboat from the international SailGP racing series during his trip to Halifax. The sleek, high-performance sailboat cutting through the waters off the coast of Nova Scotia was a breathtaking sight.

Travel Adventures Near and Far

While some stayed local, others ventured a little farther this summer. Henry and Marilyn Jansen kicked off their summer with a visit to one of Ontario’s most beloved summer spots – Sauble Beach!

Meanwhile, Angel-Marie Reiner and her husband escaped to the tropical paradise of the Bahamas. The view from their condo was nothing short of breathtaking, with vibrant greenery stretching as far as the eye could see.

John Hayes opted for a road trip across Eastern Canada, starting in the picturesque Quebec City, where he spotted a double rainbow! His journey didn’t end there. Later, John found himself indulging in some delicious East Coast cuisine in Halifax, savouring the fresh seafood while braving the region’s famously unpredictable weather.

Fairways, Friends, and Fun

No summer would be complete without some friendly competition on the green! Our CCI Grand River Golf Tournament was a swinging success, and we’ve got the photos to prove it. From perfect putts to some not-so-perfect (but still fun) shots, our members brought their A-game and had a blast!

The spirit of exploration was alive and well this summer, and we hope these memories inspire future travels! Let’s keep the energy and positivity going, and we can’t wait to see what adventures and achievements the rest of the year will bring for our CCI Grand River Chapter community.
