Elgin Street Public School: The Ottawa Senators

Montreal Canadiens Dept: On the last morning of our five-day, five-city, cross-country tour, I went to Parliament Hill in Ottawa and hung my Sports Day in Canada T-shirt on a lamppost, thus framing it against the Peace Tower illuminated by the bright, blue sky, according to CBC. Then I went to Elgin Street Public School and attended the student assembly where every one of the hundreds of kids there was wearing the jersey of one team or another. Represented were the colours of the Ottawa Senators, Montreal Canadiens, Toronto FC and mostly, the maroon and white of the Elgin Eagles and when you're young, sport often requires that you become part of a group and accept the responsibility of joining a team. All in all, Jersey Day at Elgin Street Public School in Ottawa on Friday was one great, big, team-building exercise. On National Jersey Day it seemed like the natural thing to do.
