I am a retired elementary school teacher with 38 years experience in classrooms and have also taught English in China.
I am a founding member of Manitoulin Streams, a not-for-profit organization which rehabilitates local cold streams to enhance salmonid species habitats.
I also attend local First Nation pow wows on Manitoulin Island when Covid-19 does not hinder the events.
Swimming in Lake Manitou.
