Hi,
For you Canadians out there, I hope you had a wonderful weekend celebrating Thanksgiving with your family. Yes, I know Canada has a different date for Thanksgiving than the US, and I have no explanation why, but it is what it is. Here in Vancouver we celebrated our Thanksgiving dinner with a West Coast twist – we had a salmon BBQ at our cabin (rather than turkey). To add a bit more of Canadiana to the mix, I had to do some last minute garden work in our back yard. You see our back yard borders on to a slough that feeds into the Fraser River. I realized to my shock that a beaver had decided that he (or she?) was going to chew through our majestic willow tree. To put an end to this nuisance I wrapped chicken wire around the tree. After 2 days there has been no sign of any more late night tree chewing, but I will keep you posted.
As you know, my firm specializes in helping non-profits and investment groups start K-12 private schools and post secondary career colleges in North America and Internationally. Today I am sharing with you a new search posting that my firm is handling for the position of President and Chief Education Officer (CEO) at our newest college, Pacific Institute of Trades and Technology (PITT) in Surrey, British Columbia.
