Fun Fact of the day: Canada Has a Completely Indoor Town
Fermont, Quebec, is so cold in the winter, it鈥檚 built so that residents never have to go outside during the seven months when temperatures dip below freezing. Homes, restaurants, supermarkets, stores, schools, a health center, bars, and a hotel are all contained in a series of interconnected structures.

In case you missed it: Okanagan woman shocked by return of letter in a bottle, after 31 years
A woman who grew up near Princeton has received an answer to a letter she wrote 鈥� 31 years after she stuffed it in a bottle, and tossed it into a creek.
Amanda Hope said she was shocked when she was contacted through Facebook last Saturday, telling her the note was discovered in Washington State.
鈥淚鈥檝e heard about people finding messages in bottles and tracking the writers down, but never thought I鈥檇 be one of those people,鈥� she told The Spotlight.
鈥淚 really wish I had been a little more profound, but I never expected my little glass pop bottle to travel so far.鈥�
Hope was 14, living on a farm on Summers Creek Road. Today she lives in 91大黄鸭 and works for Interior Health.
It was July 5, 1989, and Hope wanted to see if one of her friends, living downstream, would find her floating message.
鈥淚 honestly didn鈥檛 think it would get past the beaver pond.鈥�
Now it appears the bottle reached the Similkameen River, and then the Okanagan River and the Columbia River, before ending up in Washington, after travelling at least 300 kilometres.
