Looking Back

View of Saanich Inlet from the First Peoples' Cultural Council Office in Brentwood Bay, B.C.

Imagine arriving at work each day to be greeted by this beautiful view in all its moods. Such was my good fortune over the past few years. Inside, a small group of wonderful colleagues shared a fine working environment devoted to the support of First Nations art, language and culture. During my 12 year FirstVoices career, I had the good fortune to visit numerous First Nations communities and made a point of returning to base with a small memento of each, which built over time to a treasured collection.

 

Jessica (pictured at right) is not part of the 'collection'! :-) She is, however, the treasured Operations Administrative Assistant at First Peoples' Cultural Council and the first person you'll meet when you drop by the office!

And here's my new view, for a few weeks, from our kitchen table. Very restful!
