You better be sorry

it's like that all over canada though. you just have to take the positions that you are given. even if they are only for a year. eventually you get you foot in with a board and can secure a decent possition in an area you want. we have to wait for all the baby boomers to retire, then there will be a huge demand for teachers. oh, and we also have to vote in provencial governments that actually support public education. a lot of people i know have trouble finding work in the lower mainland area, but the jobs up north are more vacant. powder king? smithers?
good luck man!

The TPB avatars are taking over here at SJG. Bubbles has turned into Conky and Ricky has showed up too. I may have to get JRock as my first avatar

A very interesting read. Thanks. I'm impressed by your development over 3 years here. Good luck for the future.

Im the J to the R-O-C-K Thatd suit you quite well Davo

Good to read more about you toque. Enjoy reading your reports and the like.

Thanks for reading everybody

I got into UBC teacher education program at Selkirk College So I'm pretty sure that I will be living somewhere in the Kootenays come September. Probably starting out in Castlegar. But hopefully I can do my practicum somewhere cool like Nelson or Rossland.
My Dad did his practicum way back in the day in Kimberly which is interesting

Kootenay Pass here I come

congrats toque

right on man! congradulations.
if you have an opportunity, i highly recommend a trip into kokanee glacier. the hut up there is great, the snow is totally bomber, and the access is amazing.
enjoy and be sure to post the trip reports

Omedeto gozarimasu.
Well done

I wish I could have joined some of your trips. Any room for ladies in the team

Toque hates huts lol.

Jessica creekboy will be coming up from your way as will my friend tats. when the time comes i can give you contacts for rides and or the bus details. anyone can give you the bus details

I've got no problem with huts
I just don't want to pay very much to use them
Whenever possible I use the free emergency huts that are found all through the mountains

Always room for people on trips. As long as you are experienced and phsically fit I have no problem getting people into the mountains

Thanks guys, I'll stay on here and keep in touch nearer the time

Cool.
Wish you had another year or two here Toque?

no

he is done with Japan and to be honest i doubt the boy will be back. being a teacher just wont give him the time off t ski here.

You might get all misty-eyed when you're back in Canada and talking with your buddies on the SJ forums.

Then again you might well be boasting about your bigger-sized adventures over there to us all.

Whatever, good luck. I hope to keep on reading about your adventures on here.

Not long now..?

considering that he will have no friends and no money he might just shoot himself
