Our Very Own Victor Garber at JL Studios

   
Our very own Victor Garber was at JL Recording Studios today laying down voice overs for The Canadian Diabetes Foundation radio campaign.
Victor is in-town currently to promote Paramount Pictures' Titanic 3-D on DVD.

In addition to this visit, Garber - who has appeared in a litany of Hit Films and Television Series, including Alias, You Again, The First Wives Club, Legally Blonde and Sleepless in Seattle - will be returning again shortly for TIFF 2012, as he stars in Warner Bros.' Argo, directed by and starring Ben Affleck. "I'm heading back home today and will be back again next week!", he says. On Argo, he tells me, "You're going to love it. It's an excellent Film."

OVA spots for SPIKES Program


SPIKES® is the latest craze from Ontario Volleyball!  The program has been successfully launched across the province as an exciting combination of developmental and house league structures.  SPIKES® is focused on providing a supportive, non-competitive environment, where learning volleyball skills is a whole lot of fun!

Youth who participate in SPIKES® will learn the basics of volleyball: forearm and overhead passing, attacking, serving, and basic team movement.  Depending on age, game play is modified to ensure that every athlete is involved with each play, ensuring maximum learning.  Also, the game environment is modified to increase early success, improving the enjoyability and fun factor for all involved.
In addition to the technical elements of the game, youth are immersed in the other side of our team-based sport:  clear communication, being supportive of teammates, and good sportsmanship.  By spending time encouraging these elements through the drills and activities, it is our hope that SPIKES® will foster youth who are not only passionate about the game, but recognize the value of being a respectful and supportive teammate, as well.
