Well, I haven’t blogged in a very long time and so much has changed. Let me bring you up to speed…
This past summer, I was offered a job with the communications unit at Citizenship and Immigration Canada (where I did my placement in the spring of 2009). Excited for the new opportunity, I packed my bags and made the move to Toronto. Needless to say, it was hard to leave Niagara – family, friends, the Niagara 1812 Legacy Council – but change is good. I always felt like I had unfinished business with this city, and am so happy to be back.
There is so much to do and see in Toronto. I have been keeping very busy…working lots, and hitting the streets every chance I get. The variety here is my favourite thing. I’ve also met some new friends, and am getting the chance to catch up with old ones. Weekend visitors are always a bonus! I am madly in love with my apartment (more to come on that another time).
Work is great and I’m learning a lot. Mostly working on internal communications, I’ve been working on a few online projects from my placement. I’ve also attended a variety of ministerial events and citizenship ceremonies, offering media support.
If you would have asked me where I’d be in a year from now I never could have guessed it would be here. Somehow it feels just right.
