Mark Oldershaw, Olympian
“ Looking back at my youth, I realize that the greatest & most influential thing that my mom ever said to me were three little words: "Go play outside." Living in Burlington, that meant endless days biking around the neighbourhood with friends, exploring more and more of the city as I got older. It meant building sand castles, playing games & swimming at Burlington Beach. It meant exploring the countless parks, forests & streams throughout our city. It meant playing lacrosse, football, soccer, baseball, street hockey & running cross country, both at school & just for fun.As a kid, I took those things for granted, but as I've grown older, I've realized just how lucky I am to call Burlington home. As an Olympic athlete I have travelled the globe, paddling my canoe in countries too numerous to count. While I enjoy my travels, I always come home knowing that we live in
true playground for adventurous spirits. For those who want to stay on land, hike the escarpment trails
enjoy, & if I can pass on one piece of advice, it would be simple: Go play outside. ” Mark Oldershaw, Olympian
Walk off the Earth
“When we are on the road and someone asks where Walk Off The Earth is from, like most Burlingtonians, I'm tempted to say Toronto. But I don't. I'm too proud of where I'm from and always answer 'Burlington' instead. But it’s not as though I am hanging on a distinction without a difference. I remember noticing back in high school, playing in bands, that Burlington was at the center its own music scene--we had our
The Spoons and Finger Eleven were at the leading edge of this, and perhaps WOTE holds that candle now--I am not the one to say. This town is packed with great musicians and artists
what a phenomenal, completely made-in-Burlington, world-class event. So while there is a lot to like about Burlington--just look around--what I love about Burlington is this slightly submerged, but always burbling creative vitality that I am alluding to. It's this verve, this mojo, that besides making Burlington a great place to enjoy the arts, I think, earns Burlington its own star on the musical map. ”
Mike Taylor (Beard Guy), Walk Off The Earth
