Vom Workawayer (Raphael & Anna) für Host

We have just been one week at Shelley place but we felt we were a part of their big family.
They all were really friendly and treated us from the very first beginning as a family member..
We helped cleaning the forest to protect the whole place for wildfires..
They have a lot of animals where you can spend much time. In the morning everyone is… read more

We spent two months at Shelley and Myron's and had a great time there. The family is really welcoming and they know how to make you feel like at home. They are so nice, have a great sense of humor and are very good and generous people. Their house is big and beautiful. It has (hot) running water and electricity, which we now know is a privilege in… read more

I had a really nice time with the whole family! Everyone was very nice to me and helpful when needed. I came to Tagish for 1 month at the end of August and extended my stay to 3 months.. Went from wearing shorts to a regular -20 C and feel lucky I got the chance to experience life in the Yukon in summer and “winter” (fall). I had the opportunity… read more

I had a great stay with them for my first work away experience. A lovely family with lots of energy. Although my stay came to an end earlier than planned I still had a wonderful experience here. A beautiful home, surrounded by nature away from the businesses of the city. Endless amounts of hiking and trails on the door step and even more within a… read more

Thank you Shelly for helping me during my stay in Yukon. For all your kindness and generosity.
I had an expected ;) fantastic time with your family. Beautiful house, delicious meals, stunning nature around Tagish. I am back on workaway that’s why my feedback comes so late. Hope you are all doing well, hugs from Anna.

Definitely an energetic family I stayed with last summer! I enjoyed the variety of work I had here, including driving the boys to the beach and swimming events, doing odd jobs around the house, and helping host events for people with mental disabilities. Which helpers Shelley liked seemed unpredictable to me, but we happened to get along very… read more

Wow, I just noticed that I hadn't left a review for this excellent helper!! Teela came and stayed with our family the end of June and into July celebrating Canada Day with us. Then she visited another host for a bit and then came back and was such a big help. She drove kids to activities, helped with cooking, cleaning, watering garden, was a huge… read more

We spent 6 weeks in Tagish with the family.
The help we provided was very diversified. We helped/cleaned around the house, choping wood, painting, organizing... Sometimes we had a list of things to do in the morning, sometimes we just knew what to do.
About the gang, this family always in movement : Shelley is such a lovely person, funny and… read more

Vom Host für Workawayer (Mathilde & Romain)

I had Romain, Mathilde and her cousin Claire stay with us for 6 weeks. We also had 3 other helpers so we were a FULL house.
Winter is a slow time here so we had to be creative to find things for everyone to do.
Romaine > cut up 7 cords of wood from tree length, split it all and stacked in wood shed; he kept pathways shovelled to several out… read more buildings on our property, hauled water from the community well, organized our service/tool room, helped Mathilde with painting, dismantled two closets and rebuilt them in another room for me, helped lots with dishes, kept my plants watered, chauffeured our boys to activities, cleaned out hay barn, and was a big help to my husband with many various jobs. Romaine is a very quiet guy, friendly, aware of others needs, very sweet/loving to Mathilde and always willing to help out.
Mathilde > painter extraordinaire :) she painted the walls in our service room, painted 6 inside doors and trim, painted our entire basement floor, helped Romaine with wood/stacking, organized and rearranged several rooms, helped with all daily household jobs i.e.dishes, meal prep, vacuuming, washing windows, laundry and yummy cakes. Mathilde is a very happy person, outgoing, detailed and conscientiousness with her work, and I have know doubt Romaine and her will make excellent parents in the future.
Claire > Cook and chef by trade...While Claire was with us I turned over the cooking duties to her and had a break. She looked after lunches and suppers for 12 of us daily. Healthy food, was very economical with her meals, enough for seconds, and everyone raved about the good food around the table. She also helped out with the daily household jobs. Claire is very fun to have around, great joker, and a very unique person which will take her many places in life. :)
An amazing 6 weeks with these helpers and the others. Everyone blended in well as one of the "gang" pitching in with daily household jobs, helping with Uncle David, chilling watching movies, reading or playing games, kicking up their heels at the Just 4 Fun Dance, being entertained by the boys, participating in community events, exploring Yukon sights together and just enjoying each others company. Life is an adventure, everyday starts with a new beginning, DREAM BIG!
Thanks for everything and maybe our paths will cross again. Shelley, Myron, Dalton, Dawson, Alex, Uncle David, and Roxy.

Vom Workawayer (Carra) für Host

I spent 2 and a half weeks with these guys and they totally inspired me to aim higher and be a better person. They all have hearts of gold and give so much to their community, it was truly warming to see. I will miss these guys a lot and the animals and the astoundingly beautiful scenery. I feel like the boys definitely taught me more than I could… read more

Shelley and Myron are wonderful people. Caring and energetic, hard working and considerate. The way they tackle life is inspiring, and in itself alone makes it worth to come here.

Vom Host für Workawayer (Robin)

Robin stayed with us in September for a few weeks. It was nice getting to know him. He's a very pleasant young man and takes direction well. He spent lots of time being entertained by our boys and going on adventures with them. We would gladly recommend him to a host as he's a very capable, strong boy with a good attitude.

Vom Workawayer (Nick) für Host

Originally I arrived at their neighbour's place, but got involved into this part of the Tagish community pretty quickly. As we were neighbours (June - August 2017) I used to drop by quite some times, helped out here and there, in the house and the yard. Shelley, Myron and the kids took me either to the beach, Carcross or even Skagway, AK. We had… read more

I was part of the "gang" for 10 days and I loved every minute there. Even though it looks like Shelley and her family are new to workaway, they host travellers (through other sites) since years and truely know, how to welcome someone. From the first minute I felt like a part of the family.

Shelley - the mom of the family - is the most caring… read more
