I wanted to say thank you to everyone that came out to our first Thanksgiving Party at O'ngo Culinary School. Almost 60 people came and we still had plenty of turkey to share.

Now I know that Canadian Thanksgiving is coming soon and I wanted to let you know that it is possible for you to get a cooked turkey from the base. Since we don't get vacation days off for Thanksgiving, so getting a cooked turkey or ham off the US military base might be a great idea. Instead of cooking, you can spend time with your country-people and have fun. They are also great deals as well.
