June has always been a time of change. We celebrate the anniversary of first arriving to live in Canada at the end of this month. This years makes the ninth. As a consequence, I've lived longer in Vancouver than any place since childhood.Initially, I arrived as a visitor and needed an employment visa for my first job here.
In the fall of that first year, I began working for Pitman Business College, Vancouver. The post-secondary school was established in 1898. When I worked there, it was run by Mrs. Marie Tomko. As President and CEO, she was interested in tailoring a program for Vancouver's many visiting international students.
