Good luck.

Looking for a consultant in the Nanaimo – Port Hardy area for anywhere from one to several families in Port Hardy. The families are willing to travel to Nanaimo or anywhere in between. Some have lost funding because of no consultants or workers. Any help or info would be great!

Hi all,
As most of you know I am a photographer by trade and FEAT dad by well by…….., In any case I had a job to shoot some condo complexes in New West, I really didn't think too much of it, I was walking on the site, and I noticed some derilect buildings. They were labeled Gymnasium, and other things; It was really creepy looking, like a Stephan King movie set. Then I realize that was the old Woodlands site. Well need I say more.

We did what we had to do with Auton, and will continue to fight for our guys and gals. It's the only course of action that we can take.

Like Yoda says,and modified my yours truly a little bit,….."When it comes to doing the right thing by our children, there is only DO, or Do not, there is not try"

Keep up the good fight people, our children are depending on us.

Mr.P's Dad

Does anyone know where I might find Youth cloth pull ups (40 to 50 lbs) at a decent price? The ones I have seen are 16.00 – 20.00 each so far.
I have no problem ordering online if anyone knows a place.
They have to be the cloth/washable ones.
Thanks,

Jen
