Too bad that the Crystal Serenity will be long gone before Dr. David arrives in Cambridge Bay tomorrow afternoon...

Massive cruise ship brings new era of Arctic tourism to Cambridge Bay The Crystal Serenity arrived at the hamlet of Cambridge Bay, Nunavut, on Monday morning, the latest stop for the massive cruise ship as it makes its way through the fabled but dangerous Northwest Passage.

2 bike rides and 500 km later, I'm happy to have raised $6,247 for the BC and Alberta Cancer Foundations with the generous donations and support from many family, friends, corporations, dentists, doctors and patients!

The Alberta Ride to Conquer Cancer - Aug. 6-7, 2016.

The BC Ride to Conquer Cancer - Aug. 27-28, 2016.

Glad to support my sister-in-law as she undergoes chemotherapy treatments. It was an emotional weekend for my brother / cycling buddy and his family. As a team, the Tom Baker Cancer Conquerors raised over $383,000 to support the Alberta Cancer Foundation. Together, we can help find a cure!

So glad to hear that local students / friends / patients are safe after this devastating attack in Nice, France.

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/nanaimo-students-in-nice-france-attack-1.3682115

Nanaimo students to return home immediately after attack in Nice Some of the students were less than 30 metres from where the attack took place during the country's national Bastille Day holiday on Thursday.

We are happy to unveil our practice's new web site! Visit us at www.davidortho.com!

The reviews are in! Our Nanaimo patients like our new iTero Element digital impression unit. Faster scanning, no goopy impressions and the ability to virtually see what your smile may look like at the end of orthodontic treatment almost instantly.

Invisalign patients appreciate that they can start their treatment sooner too!

Great news for those patients that want to avoid dental impressions in our Nanaimo office...we are please to announce that our iTero Element digital scanner is on its way!

Pink shirt day at the office! We only bullied people into wearing their elastics...all for a good cause.

Let us know if you were able to catch the Super Moon lunar eclipse on Sunday. If you missed it, the next one will be in 2033! Here's a photo snapped by our own clinic Nikon camera.

Severe rain and wind were the story of Day 1 in the Ride to Conquer Cancer. Flying branches, downed power lines and fallen trees. .

Ready to ride (wet).

A big thank you to Henry Schein, American Orthodontics and Invisalign for donating to Dr. David's Ride to Conquer Cancer.

Great weather this morning for the last long training ride from Duncan to Nanaimo.

When you ride your bike to work, you get to really appreciate the smells that you just aren't exposed to when you drive your car.

The not so goo smells...

Smoke from wild fires.
Diesel from semi-trailer trucks.
Creosote from railroad ties.
Barns full of dairy cows.
Hot asphalt processing plants.
B.C. bud.

The good smells...

Morning dew.
Fresh cut cedar wood.
Ripening corn.
The ocean.
Fresh coffee and cinnamon buns at the Old Town Bakery in Ladysmith.
