Skill Sharing: I've worked in various trades throughout Ive worked in forestry, as an electrician, renovating and more recently have my own business in investigation. Persian cooking.
If things go well after a month or so we could look at paying for your time as well but this would be looked at as a possibility later.

WHAT TO PACK
Work gloves -we do have extras if you forget
Headtorch -it’s dark at night up where there are no city lights

Rain Jacket – if we all bring one, we won’t need them. Rain or shine, this is a beautiful place !
Warm layers – it will probably be chilly sometimes… its Canada!
Easy-off shoes – you have to take them off to enter each building.
Warm socks – with your shoes off, you don’t want your feet to get cold!
Comfy clothes – for sitting on the floor, for relaxing, for yoga, for spending time outside
Water bottle – keep hydrated :)
Ear plugs – even when you’re heading up to the wilderness, sometimes people snore.
