I am looking forward to seeing many of my "old" friends.

Personal Support Worker - Christian Horizons - group home for individuals who need assistance in living.

They were my neighbours in South River. I needed a job and they needed help.

I've pretty much fullfilled my dreams - worked at a zoo (Metro Toronto Zoo), lead nature tours all over eastern North America plus Texas and Arizona, got paid to birdwatch on the Breeding Bird Atlas project, own a cottage, and visited Africa twice. I'm looking forward to getting a pontoon boat and hot tub for the cottage.
