Temporary Hiatus

nsweeting — Tue, 30 Jan 2007 03:55:37 +0000

So my schedule with the new job, and school, as well as other stuff has made keeping the blog up to date super hard. I fully intend on starting regular postings again, I just need to to start learning how to work around my days lacking almost any free time. Really important things I will still put on the site. Just give me a little time and I’ll get things back on track. Hope everyone understands!

compasses find compassion

hammermeister — Tue, 23 Jan 2007 20:47:23 +0000

Please bring your compass to class tomorrow(wed) for Haemish so it can be used to find peace and compassion in young children through a program on Vancouver Island. Feel the joy of helping a young child overcome fears and gain a sense of accomplishment while using your compass as a tool in finding themselves.

Also make sure to put your intials on it incase the little brat breaks it.

peace out

Volunteering At The Capilano Booth

nsweeting — Tue, 23 Jan 2007 03:46:01 +0000

So with the Outdoor Adventure Show coming up soon, some people will be needed to volunteer their time at the Capilano College booth. You’ll be promoting the Outdoor Rec program, and I think the Tourism as well. About 5 people will be needed, and both Haemish and I are interested in doing this, so we still need a few more folks. Just let Greig know if you would like to jump on board.

The Yeti Snowshoe Race

nsweeting — Sat, 20 Jan 2007 05:18:21 +0000

So I’m thinking of doing a snowshoe race called The Yeti in the next little while. There are a few race dates, and the option to go as a team is also there. I think it would be great if we put together a Cap Rec Team. Blow the competiton out of the water… or snow I guess. Anyways, I will be sure to bring the topic up on Monday – so let me know if you’re interested. More information is available here.

P.S. It doesnt matter if you dont have snowshoes… you can rent. I will most likely end up renting as well, even though I have snowshoes. To do well you need specific running snowshoes.
