Our new gift shop attendant, Valerie Wakil, has settled in and has brought many new ideas with her. The inside of the canteen has undergone some changes and looks FABULOUS! We are also having our first Inventory Reduction Sale with special discounts on selected books, souvenirs and gift packages. Once again, we say goodbye at the end of August to some of our staff. One of our part-time interpreters, Trina Hogg, is leaving to go to Graduate school in Halifax, Nova Scotia. We all wish Trina the best of luck in her coming adventures, and hope that she will keep in touch. Brian Rawding, one of our most fascinating part-time interpreters, has started a new job on August 25th – teaching Grade 6. We are sure his students will love him as much as we did, and we wish him the best of luck in his new career. Jennifer Carlile, another part-time interpreter, moves to Ottawa on September 2nd to start her new job working as a Foreign Service Officer – a fantastic new job that will lead her to many interesting places. We wish her all the best. We are going to miss you all very much, you have all contributed so much to the fort. This is also the end of the Summer Guard, until next year.
