***20 year Reunion for Scona '87 - Contact Me or Lorill Jensen for Info***
Hi all,
I actually hated high school but can appreciate that there were quite a few other great people who were stuck there too. After Scona, I worked and schooled at a variety of places in Edmonton, Vancouver, and Victoria and finally got my degree in Environmental Studies and Anthropology from UVic. Working in the environment/social justice/international development fields is not the fast track to big money but at least I've been fortunate to have had some interesting jobs. I've worked in the environmental field for various government departments and non-profit organizations in Edmonton, Victoria, the Caribbean, England and am now in Vancouver. I don't have any kids and am not married (narrowly escaped that!) but live with my partner Steve who I met in England. I've also kept in contact with a number of fellow...Expand for more
scona grads, especially Lorill Jensen who always comes to visit me wherever I am. It would be good to hear what all of you are doing now.
Give me a shout.

College
Went to Grant MacEwan, Langara College in Vancouver and University of Victoria. And yes, after all of that I finally got a degree (double majors in Environmental Studies and Anthropology) and a student loan to remind me of it all!
Workplace
Environmental programs and communications - have worked for various environmental organizations in Alberta, BC, the Caribbean and England in everything from conservation education and waste management, to contaminated land and documentary films. Before all of that I did lots of hideously boring jobs. Currently working for a non-profit organization in Vancouver that focuses on green building issues.
Military
Ya right, that'll be the day. Went on lots of peace protests though.
