61ST ANNUAL MAPLE LEAF BALL
17 April, 2010
Saturday, 7:00 p.m. to 01:00 a.m.
Venue : The Fairmont Hotel, Stamford Ball Room
If you have ever dreamed of walking down a red carpet in your most glamorous attire, to the flash of photographers’ bulbs, with all eyes fixed on you, then the 61st annual Maple Leaf Ball is a must attend event! This year’s theme is “Walk the Red Carpet” and attendees are encouraged to be as creative as they would like as they imitate their favorite movie star, director, theme song, singer or musician.
The event will be held at the Fairmont hotel on Saturday,17 April at 7pm. Attendees will be met by paparazzi as they enter and walk the red carpet, flanked by Genie statues resembling Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Tables will not be numbered but identified by the name of a famous Canadian celebrity-so don’t be surprised to find you’re sitting at the Donald Sutherland or the Pamela Anderson table.
Dinner will be a five course Canadian themed feast, including macadamia crusted Arctic cod and Alberta braised beef, all paired with sophisticated wines to go with each course.
The night includes a lucky draw and silent auction. All profits will go to the Singapore Cancer Society, who will also be issuing tax deduction receipts for the charitable portion of the ticket. There will be free-flow beer and wine throughout the night, and live music and a DJ will keep attendees dancing until the wee hours of the morning.
So don’t delay and risk missing out on a night to remember, buy your tickets today!

By the time you receive this issue of The Maple Leaf Times, the Vancouver Olympics will be over, Chinese New Year will have passed, and you will be flipping through this exciting magazine wondering, in the words of my kids; “No more parties?”
Rest assured that the 2010 party season is just beginning and your friendly neighbourhood CAS Team has lots in store for the upcoming months. For example, if you suspect that the Singapore sun has been melting your brain cells, come out to Quiz Night on Thursday March 18th and test how bad the UV damage actually is. The extremely funny and knowledgeable David Barker will be hosting the evening again and you won’t want to miss it.
If you are concerned that your resolution to lose 5 pounds is on a reverse trend, you will definitely burn some calories by volunteering to participate in one of the exciting Dragon Boat races at the 1st Annual Canada-People’s Association Friendship Race (and BBQ!) on March 13th. The final race, which is sure to be a nail-biter, involves Canada versus the People’s Association team in 20 man boats (one to include His Excellency David Sevigny).
But the most glamorous party of them all is the 61st Annual Maple Leaf Ball that will be held on Saturday April 17th at the Fairmont Singapore. This is the premier event on the Canadian Calendar and it is an excellent opportunity to chat over a delicious meal and raise funds for the Singapore Cancer Society - the selected charity this year. The Ball Committee has met on several occasions and is chaired this year by my good friend and certified party gal, Franca Ciambella. If you haven’t heard the names Liz Vogtle, Alison Peel, Laura Ashton, Moonlake Lee, Sandra Johnson and Mariitta Maavara to name a few – you soon will, as they are key players in the party planning and you can bet they’ll put in whatever time is needed to ensure that everyone has a great night. All you have to do is book your tickets and start shopping for that new outfit .
Most important, please ensure that you do not miss a single Canadian Pillar event by logging onto: www.canadians.org.sg or by emailing events@canadians.org.sg and request to be added to our event e-blasts.
We look forward to seeing more of you in 2010!
Cheers,
Janey Schueller, CAS President

WELCOME
As you can tell from our wonderful cover, we are promoting the Maple Leaf Ball which will take place in April, so book your tickets early to avoid any disappointment and to ensure a wonderful night of glitz and glamour. Our centre spread features this great event and provides some wonderful photos of years past (Can also be found on the MLT blog spot).
Two great events are being reviewed in this issue: Canada Day at the Races and the Great Canadian Breakfast. The Day at the Races was hosted by the 5 pillars of the Canadian community and took place on the 29th of January. It was a great opportunity to get together, gamble and have fun. Shortly thereafter, CAS celebrated the opening of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games at the Great Canadian Breakfast. Check out these two reviews on pages 10 & 11.
Our monthly film review, “Chick Flick Musings” is back, with Judy Smith providing another entertaining take on a recent film
viewing. You can also find all of your favourite columns such as “Fresh & Green”, Youth TImes, Health Talk, as well as a few new features.
Out & About in Singapore, Fresh & Green and Health Talk
can also be found on the MLT blog spot.
Don’t forget, St. Patrick’s Day is on March 17th, so wear something green, eat some Irish food, and wash it
down with a pint of Guinness. HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY!
Cheers,
Marie Tuxford, Editor
