It’s been a busy month at MIRA, but that hasn’t stopped the team from having fun. Lyndon, Kevin, and James participated in Movember, a cause they were thrilled to donate to. If you aren’t familiar with the event, Movember is a moustache growing charity event held every November to raise money for men’s health. Find out more on the Movember website.

The results:

Photos have surfaced from the Grey Cup weekend of James (top right) and Kevin (bottom right) supporting their hometown of Winnipeg. The Blue Bombers suffered 23-34 defeat, but that didn’t stop the pair from enjoying the game.

Tonight, a team from Langley represents Canada in the Little League World series. They’ll face off off against Hamamatsu City, Japan and if they win, they’ll continue on to the semi finals.

We’ll be cheering hard for team Canada tonight, and their second baseman, Trevor Alcos. Trevor is the son of one of our installers, Mike, pictured below. On August 9th, Trevor hit a a homer in the fourth inning that cleared a 210 foot fence and secured a 4-3 win over Quebec. It was the first home run BC has hit in the national championships. (More about Trevor’s homer can be found here)

We wish them luck in their game tonight. Go team Canada!

A little bit of MIRA history: MIRA’s three owners are originally from Manitoba. Kevin and James once lived in Winnipeg, and Lyndon lived just outside of Winnipeg.

Though MIRA supports the Canucks (one look at the office during playoff season proves it), there was equal excitement in the office around the newest Canadian addition to the NHL. Much anticipation surrounded the release of new information about the the new Winnipeg Jets.

We want to know what you think of the new Winnipeg Jets logo. Love it? Hate it? Let us know!

On June 24th, the MIRA team headed out on a day trip with REO Rafting. We had planned to take a trip up the Fraser Canyon to
visit REO’s resort on the Nahatlatch River. But a day before the trip we were alerted that the Nahatlatch River was dangerously high and made the decision to take a trip down the Coquihalla river instead.

For many members of the team, this was their first whitewater rafting experience and it did not disappoint. While some people were being held back by the team to avoid falling out of the boat, others chose to go swimming in the cold waters. But by the end of the trip everyone was thoroughly drenched and wondering when they could take another trip to tackle more challenging rapids.

Nahatlatch, we’ll see you next year!
