"Laura Smith" is a Canada/Canadian folk music/folk singer-songwriter. She is best known for her 1995 single "Shade of Your Love", one of the year's biggest hits on adult contemporary music/adult contemporary radio stations in Canada, and for her adaptation of the Scottish music/Scottish folk song "My Bonnie Lies over the Ocean" which she entitled "My Bonny". She recorded a version of this with The Chieftains, which they erroneously listed as "My Bonnie" on their album Fire in the Kitchen. In December 2010, that version received a nod for Song of the Decade from Bill Margeson at LiveIreland.

Born and raised in London, Ontario, Smith was encouraged in her early writing by the noted poet Margaret Avison, then writer-in-residence at the University of Western Ontario. She began playing music as well, making her debut in area coffeehouses. She moved to Toronto in 1975 for nine years and in 1984 she moved to Cape Breton Island/Cape Breton.

Our middle hitters did a good job. Haley (Halcomb) did a nice job dishing the ball to the hitters, finding the holes and dumping the ball off to them.

Last year is something we talked about as a team. The girls were extremely focused and I think that was the reason for our fast start. We did slow down a little in Game 3, but overall I was very pleased with the way we played.

We had to be flexible today because things didn't exactly go as planned. Considering the circumstances, it was nice to come out of it like we did.

The last week and a-half, we've been playing much better. We're looking a lot better, the offense is running faster. Things are starting to click.

It represents me. My old room was from when I was 6 or 7. This room is more up-to-date.

It's not a hard sell. People in this community already know about opera and love it. This is a very sophisticated town. The city is ready for something like this.

On hot, humid days, I can't take (the kids) to the park.
