Katimavik changed my life because… prior to Katimavik I was born and raised in a small town in Nova Scotia after Katimavik I returned to my small town with a whole new vision of Canada, its people and the world. I joined the Canadian Forces in 1983 realizing I wanted to stand for this country and its beliefs. I have continually volunteered as a member of the Canadian Forces and lived in numerous communitys in and outside of Canada. Katimavik made me want to make a difference in the world and I can never thank the program enough. Last weekend we had our 30th reunion in Ottawa and the friendship that spans the 30 years with each and every member is amazing. You cannot know the influence and again I thank you. Keep up the great work.
