Hello all, it's been quite some time since I've posted on this page. I've been focusing on my teaching job and raising my small human. I've also been working on a new pilot project organized by the Justice Education Society of BC (JES). One of the projects being held by JES is a mentoring program, please see the flyer for more information. We'd love to have you join our mentoring community. You'll also see me facilitating for the JES for the next wee while.

Happy Saturday :)
