• Another course down…

  So, a lot has happened in the three weeks since my last post. Work has been continuing to push me and challenge me in positive ways, and with the health restrictions across the province I’ve been given the opportunity to cover more and more events. At the end of March, I completed the English course…

  I can’t believe that it has been nearly a month since I’ve written here last. I think I have finally found the path I am meant to be on. Work has been keeping me busy. I’ve been making inroads into the community of Stettler, and people are starting to notice the changes in the paper.…
