Volunteering
I observe subtle seasonal changes during my morning at Glendale. During the busy week I recall some of those images and they refresh me. Every week I look forward to meeting friends and sharing a laugh.
This week it was the old Japanese maples. See you next week.

I am here in on an exchange program called Canada World Youth. This program gives young people the opportunity to increase their ability to participate actively in the development of just, harmonious and sustainable societies. I have had the privilege of working along side with Hoke. Glendale Gardens & Woodlands has taken amazing initiatives for insuring the restoration and preservation of their 40 hectares of woodlands and gardens. It has been a great learning experience for me and the rest of the CWY group.
