Description
We are a semi-retired couple living on a country acreage 15 minutes' drive from Nelson, British Columbia. We enjoy meeting people from other countries and look forward to showing them around the area. Nelson is a small town with a large arts community and plenty of recreational opportunities as it's situated on Kootenay Lake in the Selkirk Mountains. We have one dog and a small garden. Our main project is FireSmarting our property, which involves piling branches and forest floor debris for burning when it's safe, along with small jobs around the house and property. We both volunteer for non-profits, and some hours may be spent helping along with us. We would be happy to have a solo worker in the house or couples in the campsite. Workawayers stay in a semi-private suite with private bathroom with shower, private bed/sitting room, and kitchenette. We are LGBTQ2S+ friendly. Cheers, Phillip & Anne

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
Travellers will benefit from living near an interesting arts-oriented community and experiencing country life in a beautiful, clean environment. And we feed our guests well!
Not only do we feed Workaway guests well, we take them on tours of the area and to social events we attend. The purpose of Workaway for us is not "cheap labour"; it is more a cultural exchange.
We enjoy meeting young people from other countries and cultures and showing them a piece of rural Canadian life, while also learning about their culture. -
Aide
We have work available in the spring and fall, and sometimes in the summer, which includes some brushing/piling undergrowth for burning the the fall (towards our FireSmart goals) and other things around the property. We can use some help in the garden, and possibly some outdoor painting and staining, and Workawayers are welcome help with some of our community volunteer work (local community hall and food bank). There will be plenty of time left over to explore the area!

Plenty of opportunity for hiking and mountain biking, and visits to Nelson, one of Canada's most livable small towns. We have two vehicles and make regular trips to town. There is also a bus that goes to and from town. We keep a canoe, rowboat and kayak at a nearby lake which guests are welcome to use.

Taro
Taro is an older border collie crossed with something a little bigger. He is a loving dog but he barks at new people. It can sometimes take a couple of days for Taro to understand that the new person is now a part of the household. He's loud, but he's not dangerous! The trick is to ignore him; when he drops a tennis ball in your lap, you know you've been accepted.
