Bondi Resort BLOG: Welcoming Dara Home

Bondi Resort Blog

Come on into our Blog for a look at the wonderful world we've got to share! With over 240 hectares (600 acres) of wilderness woodlands surrounding the resort, just ten minutes from Algonquin Park, we feature over 400 metres (1200’) of waterfront and beach; boat rentals; summer hiking trails winding through fields and woods; 20 km. of groomed cross country ski trails and snowshoeing in winter; access to nearby snowmobile trails for sledders, and a toboggan hill for the young at heart.

Welcoming Dara Home

This is just a tiny part of the Olympic display at Dara Howell's home, at Pow Wow Point Lodge on Peninsula Lake.

I stopped in to congratulate her Mom and Dad, Dee and Doug -- who are still pretty much equal parts exhausted and exhilarated by their Olympic adventure. What a ride!

The Town of Huntsville is gearing up to Welcome home Dara this Friday, Feb. 28. 5 p.m. in Rivermill Park.

Now, they haven't unveiled all their secrets yet, but we know this is going to be BIG!!! And so it should be... How often do we get to celebrate one of our own bringing home a Gold medal? So, if you are going to be in the area, jot this one into your daybook, and don't miss this welcome!

GOLD DARA GOLD!!!

Napster Art

We are very proud of Napster, our tail-painting cat, who uses his lovely artwork to raise money for charities. This lovely little creature passed away July 2015, but left a huge legacy, having raised over $12,000 for various charities through the sale of his artwork. That artwork, through prints and notecards, is still available.
Click here to visit Napster's Blog and visit the gallery of his tail-paintings.

Now sold around the world, he was honoured to have his artwork sold around the globe -- he even has a print with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
