Moi
I am a graduate, of the Faculty of Information at the iSchool at the University of Toronto, with a Master of Information. A Facebook survey once 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.
My initial experience in the profession of librarianship was in the field of law where I was a law librarian at two major firms within Canada. Now I work at a public library. My first position at the public library provided me with the opportunity to help customers connect with the right information during their job search. I am now working on the administrative side of things in the CEO’s Office where I get to work on lots of really cool projects for the library. And most importantly I am learning how the library really works from up above.
I believe the public library is an essential tool in providing individuals with the information they need to make informed opinions.
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!
lol
Julia, It’s not that bad living in Ontario! I lived there for 5 years. Have you visited Quebec City ever ? It’s the most beautiful place in Canada! I have to say every place in Canada has its own charm. Unless you have explored every place of Canada, never say never ! See you in February – your big day ! LOL !
