The 5th Annual Regift Post Event.

Produced by Chow Productions

I just wanted to give a big "Thank You" to everyone that came out to the 5th Annual Regift event in Toronto. Thanks to our venue host Boots & Bourbon Saloon and their staff. I also want to thank our host Crystal Gibson and Maurice Cacho for all their efforts. This event would not be possible for our event partners: Evoke Salon, Entripy, Tim Hortons, No7 Hot Sauce, Branding & Buzzing and the Hard Rock Cafe. Thanks to Chow Productions and Best of Toronto and Snap Beaches Danforth for the video and photos.

One of the reasons I like to organize this event is to give friends on Twitter the opportunity to celebrate in a casual atmosphere, to catch up and meet new friends after the holidays. Most of our time during the holidays is spent with family,  but it's also nice to catch up with friends, including those you meet online, specifically from Twitter. I also know we're all budget conscious in January and it's known to be the slowest month for most business; it's nice to enjoy an event at a very low cost post holidays.

The Globe & Mail sent me a tweet prior to cover the event. You can watch here: Regifting Video

And a huge Thank You to all who attended and participated on Twitter. Thanks to all of you, this years RegiftTO event was the biggest, most popular one to date. See you next year at the 6th Annual Regift Event!

NAIAS with GM Canada


Thanks to GM Canada, I had the opportunity to visit the North American International Auto Show - NAIAS in Detroit, Michigan for the Media Preview. The NAIAS is one of the biggest Auto Show's in the world. I had the honour of staying at the GM Renaissance Centre which is an architectural and futuristic style building.

The NAIAS started with the announcement that GM/Chevrolet Won the Best North American Car and Truck of the Year Awards with the Corvette Stingray and Silverado.  GM was quite the talk and buzz during this Auto Show with the sweep of the awards!





I also had the opportunity to visit the OnStar research facility located at the GM Headquarters in Detroit. I had a chance to see the plans for making the GM brand cars become advance mobile units on wheels. Showcased was the use/sync of a Samsung tablet with the in car dash. Imagine being able to tell if you have enough tire pressure from your car dash. The technology seems to make driving more enjoyable and safer which is good for customers like us. I really like how technology has made driving safer and GM is making strides in this capacity. GM has actually opened up the opportunity for developers to create apps via Developer Portal by releasing their API.


During this trip, I had the honours of having dinner with the President of GM Canada, auto media and lifestyle enthusiasts at the GM Heritage Centre. The Heritage Centre is home to every model and make of GM cars throughout it's history. It's quite the selection of cars and I was extremely impressed. My favourite was the black corvette with all it's curves. It reminds me of the batmobile.




One of the best parts of the trip to Detroit with GM Canada was the opportunity to visit and explore the  city of Detroit. It is sad that Detroit has become a "bankrupt" city but I do see the potential for revitalizing the city. GM is poised under the helm of Mary Barra, the first female CEO of the major auto companies to turn the auto industry into a competitive market as shown with the awards at this year's NAIAS. I'm excited to showcase more of my experience with GM Canada in Detroit. This is the 1st installment of a 3 part series on my experience with GM Canada, Buick Canada, GMC and Cadillac.

This Cadillac Escalade service in conjunction with Uber was a great way to explore the City of Detroit in style.

Sing A Long A Sound of Music Sensation!


Sing-a-long a Sound of Music begins on Family Day Weekend at the Living Arts Centre on Saturday  February 15, 2014 with a sing-a-long screening of the classic Julie Andrews musical film. The difference with this presentation is that the whole audience gets to participate so it's totally interactive. It is encouraged that the audience sings along with the subtitles on screen. Think of Karaoke meets theatre. Different right?

If you're new and never attended the Living Arts Centre this would be a cool event to participate. This is a great opportunity for families to have a unique experience and have some fun! It's so interactive that you're also encouraged to dress in costume. At the end all those dressed in costume are asked on stage to show of their fashion. You become part of the show literally. :-)




For more show information: Sing A Long

Thanks to Living Arts Centre, I'll be giving away 2 tickets to Sing A Long A Sound Of  Music.

NAIAS with GM Canada

Thanks to GM Canada, I'm honoured to return to the North American International Auto Show in Detroit Michigan. Throughout the next few days, I'll be tweeting live coverage of the GM Canada announcements. I'm excited to give you coverage from the various GM brands from my point of view.

To give you an idea of my car knowledge, I know how to drive a car but my knowledge of cars is basic at the least. I don't know how to change a tire for the life of me.  I do appreciate good design and have a good feel for comforts of a vehicle. I enjoy the new tech on new cars from my experience with various car brands in past including GM. I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience with Buick Regal and the Buick Verano. You can read about my recent Bucket List trip to Cincinnati with Buick Canada. I'm looking forward to seeing the corvette and the secret announcement from Cadillac.


So make sure to follow the various GM Brands on Twitter here:

@GMCanada

@ChevroletCanada

@GMCCanada

@CadillacCanada


On a side note, tweet me at @clickflickca and tell me what you look forward to from GM Canada and you can WIN a $20 Gas Card.  Add #NAIASGM #ClickFlick to tweet. Good Luck everyone! :-)
