The drama. The tension. The fight. P.E.I. photographer Patrick Keefe captured this remarkable and defiant standoff between a Canada goose and a bald eagle. The eagle thought it had the upper hand, but, as you know, you don't mess with Canada geese. #PEI #PrinceEdwardIsland

Why sing when you can sign! Every morning before the school announcements, students at West Royalty Elementary listen to O Canada played over the speakers. Public health guidelines mean kids can't sing so, instead, they've learned the song in American Sign Language. Amazing!!!
