Moi
I am a fresh graduate, of the Faculty of Information at the iSchool at the University of Toronto, with a Master of Information. A recent Facebook survey has pegged me as a Web 2.0 librarian, and while the merits of Facebook surveys are clearly dubious I believe it describes me quite well.
I recently changed jobs from my first professional position at a law firm in Calgary, AB, to working for a public library. I am looking forward to getting my feet wet in the world of public librarianship. Three weeks in I can already tell it’s much different than the corporate/private world. Definitely a steep learning curve but I’m up for the challenge. I hope through out the course of the year to write about “real” issues facing librarians/information professionals.
I am originally from Vancouver and miss BC terribly. And yes it really is that beautiful there, it’s just a fact.
So, take a trip up north. Visit Muskoka, see the Sleeping Giant (Thunder Bay) or just take the Trans Canada Highway to T-Bay. There is a lot of up and down and right and left all along the Great Lakes road. It’s not all flat. Although I have never been to BC, I have been through the Rockies twice and found it claustrophobic. If I lived there it would be nice to see them off on the horizon though…
I do agree that Ontario is not ALL that flat…but compared to BC it’s extremely flat. I have seen more of Ontario than I have of BC having driven from Vancouver to Kingston I’ve seen a lot of northern Ontario. The beauty of Ontario is subtle compared to BC but it does have it’s own charm. But I will remain extremely attached to the smell of the ocean and dramatic fjord like mountains of BC for the rest of my life.
You’re right … Ontario has nothing on BC! That drive from Thunder Bay around Lake Superior is endless! and the bugs! and the humidity!
