Wesla — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 11:46:28 +0000

Congrats to Kristi and Lynn for having their newborns!

I was lucky enough to catch up with Kristi the other day…

Full name of baby: Jordan Henry Klawer

Biggest thing that has changed in your life since your new addition: I now have my own family! It’s great. And…I’m now in love with two men…Paul and Jordan.

Cutest thing that your baby does: He’s so cute when stretches after a long sleep.

Stanley Cup Finals – Game 7!! Calming the nerves…

Wesla — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 22:29:02 +0000

I think the whole city is a bit nervous right now… Game 7 at the Stanley Cup Finals!! Go Canucks Go!!

To try and calm the pre-game jitters, I’ve cleaned my house… and also I’ve been playing with my new toy… my ukulele!

Please message me if you play the ukulele because I would love some tips since I just started last week! Hope you can live through my amateur singing haha

When the Canucks WIN… maybe I’ll write a victory song for them…

On the Canucks train.. choo choo!!

Just in case you missed the debut on the morning news… here’s our music video. Sophie, Mark, Erin, Shanel and I explored a second career and as you can see, we should probably leave it to the professionals like Kyprios. Here’s “How the West was One” by Kyprios featuring the Global Morning News… or wait is it Global Morning News featuring Kyprios? PS Thank you to everyone involved behind the scenes.. Emma, Ryan, Chuck, Ken, Michelle, Keith, Brooke… you guys rock!!!!! Go Canucks!

Environment Canada predicts warm, dry summer BUT…

Wesla — Thu, 05 May 2011 17:55:16 +0000

Not so much for us on the west coast… However.. if you live almost anywhere else in the country – get ready for an extended season with your flip-flops!

Being a meteorology student, I’m always looking for information in regards to the climate and forecasts. The other day I was on internet, and this Vancouver Sun article caught my eye: http://tinyurl.com/43rrx8l

First of all, long range forecasts are very unreliable, and second of all, Canada has so many microclimates that a forecast for a whole country that is so geographically large would be very vague. Luckily, I work with one of the best meteorologists in the business…Mark Madryga…so we were able to get his two cents on this article.

PS – Mark didn’t end up doing my homework.

Girls Weekend in Stunning Tofino

Wesla — Thu, 21 Apr 2011 01:54:34 +0000

I think some of us forget about the beautiful province we live in especially in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. I know sometimes I forget. But that’s what last weekend was for… to remember and to reflect…to breathe in the air of the rainforest, to hear the waves of the Pacific Ocean, to drink the wine of the Okanagan, to taste the fresh crabs of Tofino, and most importantly to laugh the joys of life.

Erin Cebula, my dog Jazzy, and I left on Thursday after the Noon News, and headed straight for Horseshoe Bay… little did we know we’d miss the ferry by one car, but in the end, that was okay. We took advantage of the extra two hours that we had an headed to the Boathouse Restaurant and started our weekend off with fresh shuck oysters.. oh and spicy caesars

The drive to Tofino was both beautiful and a little scary. In this picture you can see the convection just building mid-island.

On route to Tofino, we stopped in at the Clam Bucket in Port Alberni. Best restaurant ever! Great food and service!

We had some major snow storms that we had to deal with on route to the Wickinninish Inn, but once we were there, it was like we were set free…

On Friday, we started off with a walk on the beach. Its no wonder why Tofino was voted the place where you can walk on the best beaches in Canada. http://www.tripadvisor.ca/TCBeaches-g153339-Canada.html

Chesterman’s Beach is breathtaking.

Two other girls flew in on Friday afternoon and we spent some time skipping rocks near the docks. Such a simple task, but its amazing what a stress reliever skipping rocks can be.

On Saturday I was lucky enough to go on a tour with the Tlalook Cultural Adventures Group. http://www.tlaook.com Joe and Gisele took me to Meares Island where we saw 2000 year old trees. Imagine the knowledge and wisdom of something that age…

Saturday night we had an amazing crab dinner. We are so lucky to have these gracious resources in our backyard.

I didn’t want to leave on Sunday. I could have stayed on the beach writing my first album.

Kristi is having a.. boy?

Wesla — Thu, 31 Mar 2011 13:53:59 +0000

Kristi is hoping for a surprise when she gives birth in July. But… according to some of the other ladies in our newsroom you can determine the sex of the baby using a piece of string and a ring. No one could find any thread in the newsroom so Kristi actually pulled out a piece of my hair as a replacement…. and well did it work? Lynn already knows that she is having a girl, and the ring did exactly what it should do… watch the video for yourself and would love to hear what you think…

Scotch lesson for Sophie

Wesla — Tue, 22 Mar 2011 20:25:17 +0000

The title says it all… it was a very exciting day on the Global BC Morning News. Sophie had a lesson on Scotch, and this was after Trevor Linden visited to our studio the other day (hence the Club 16 shirt). We were hoping Trevor would stay for a drink but unfortunately.. as you can imagine he is a very busy guy and it was all up to Sophie to test out her tastebuds.

Sophie and Steve burn up the dance floor!

Wesla — Thu, 03 Mar 2011 19:05:20 +0000

Apparently if you can walk you can do salsa… so… some of the hosts of the morning news signed up to try it iout. (Mark and I however have two left feet so didn’t take part). Oh and you have to watch Sophie get dipped at the end.

An explosive News Hour with Chris Gailus…literally

Wesla — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 19:04:26 +0000

A set light explodes on the Global BC News Hour with Chris Gailus… Peter, our web guy was first on scene and uploaded this on YouTube. Chris Galius and Wayne Cox “hit the deck” but the absolute best part is the reenactment that they showed at the end of the news broadcast…. From the February 23, 2011 edition of the News Hour.

Rumour or truth – is Kristi pregnant?

Wesla — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 16:29:09 +0000

In case you missed Kristi telling our viewers about her exciting news…here it is! Paul and Kristi will be proud and happy parents to a baby-to-be! Our weekend meteorologist is due in July…. and she tells Sophie (who is filming this) and I about everything from how she feels now that she is expecting to what they will name their new addition.
