UN sustainability goals this host is trying to achieve
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Workawayers would come in contact with rural Canadian farming community made up of diverse cultural groups, including Mètis, First Nation, Mennonite, European descended Canadians and more recently immigrated groups. Agricultural farms include ranching, grain & oil seed farming, as well as mixed family farms and smaller homesteads. The workawayer would be introduced to the rhythm of closely working with the natural cycles in a community where mutual support is a necessity. The interconnectedness of all life is an unmistakable element of daily life in this setting.
Help
We can use all kinds of handyperson skills, especially woodwork & plant care. Love for animals is a must.
We prioritize providing as natural habitat and lifestyle for each species we partner with as possible, and aim to treat each animal companion with dignity and respect.

Accommodation
Separate bedroom in the main house with a separate bathroom.
We eat a very clean, whole food diet by choice and necessity. Our dietary choices are limited by food sensitivities but we will happily share our meals and provide our guests with the means to cook additional dishes to add to the fare.
What else ...
This is a truly rural location. The nearest town with shopping and facilities is 45 min away, and there is no public transit. So access to a vehicle is necessary. Leisure activities are seasonally dependent, they include fishing, sailing, skating, hunting (with the proper permits), camping, golf, as well as various fairs and festivals.
