FISH TANK and ACCESSORIES

We have a 33 gallon fish tank and all the accessories that we'd like to give away. We had fish for a couple of years, but our little guy isn't that interested in them anymore. It is a large tank with a rounded front, comes with a stand, heater, filter… It has not been in use for a year or so, so it needs a little cleaning.

You would need to come to North Vancouver to pick this up.

Interested? Email: lirenmoo@shaw.ca

**Looking for summer hours?? Therpaists needed in North Vancouver**

We are looking for therapist/ tutors to train for summer hours ( or longer :0) ) Our almost 7 year old son is loved by all who work with him and we would like to maximize his hours for the summer. Our terrific team is headed by Michele Shilvock and Kelley Lloyd-Jones. We are located in Upper Lynn Valley, but are close to a bus route.

Thanks,
