Katimavik
last night Pat and Keith our hosts had taken us to an art exhibition at the Two Rivers Gallery
and a lady called Nathalie Daoust and a gentleman called Ted Hiebert were displaying art work, part of the exhibition was the chance to paint yourself if you so wish with glow in the dark paint and Chris jumped at the chance to be painted up, we also met an interesting group of young people from a Youth volunteer group called Katimavik.
This organization www.katimavik.org is for Canadian youth between 17 and 21 and programs last for 9 months, all of the young people live in a shared house and learn about sustainable living no television is in the house and they cook natural organic food and bread, they work in the community and get to spend a week with a family too, it is a fantastic alternative learning program that is also funded and if you are excepted to join is free. Chris and myself were invited by the team leader Alison Parker to visit the house were they lived for supper and we had a great time seeing how french and english speaking canadians inter react in the one house, they had home baked bread for us when we arrived and pork chops we stayed until the group had to prepare to be collected by their donor families for their week with a local family. Thank you for supper “Katimavik”
Today a company called Interior Crop Steel fabricated a bracket on the vehicle so i can use my high lift jack on the front of the car so now i can fit snow chains easily and change wheels too. The company was recommended to me from Parkhill transmission and have sponsored me by only charging me for the materials.
Thank you “Rick” and “Rene” for good welding and fabricating. Tel: 2505637865
