Even though I wanted to fit in with things around here, I have never for one second wanted to stop being Canadian

That northern identity is VERY important to me – it is truly in my blood. I have continued to embrace my cultural heritage, traditions, and values and tried to share them with people here. There’s a group of teachers from one of my old schools who still talks about the great Canadian Thanksgiving dinners we shared as a staff (truly one of my greatest memories of living here), and I know a lot of folks down here who worship at the temple of Butter Tarts because they learned about them from me. I try to remind myself that diversity strengthens communities, and by being true to myself (and my love of poutine), I can bring a fresh perspective to the table.
