Hi there,
As of the last week of August, I will be the new Katimavik Project Leader in Charlottetown. I would very much appreciate it if you could keep me and the volunteers with whom I will be living informed about upcoming activities and opportunities for volunteering with PEI’s Food Security Network! Do you have a list serve? If so, I would appreciate it if you could ad me on!
Thank you
Esther Ives
Project Leader
