Please share widely with your
contacts in the community. In order to facilitate planning my year I am trying
to reach as many people to see what interest there is in the community for my
services. I do need a response if your organization would like a
presentation.
At Service Canada, we are committed to providing service in
the communities where clients live, and to offering greater access to Government of Canada

families.

work with local communities, non-profit and advocacy groups, health-care
professionals, Aboriginal bands and councils, provincial/territorial
governments, volunteer organizations, employers, industry and professional
associations, educational institutions, unions, and other partner organizations.
Through these partnerships, we increase awareness of Government of Canada
programs and facilitate access to the services and benefits available.
We work together with community partners to provide information on
programs that benefit all our clients including:
Aboriginal
people
Families and
children
Newcomers to Canada

include:

Weather
We talk about the weather
To find a common place
Or to fill an empty space
In conversation
But the weather isn’t there for that
We celebrate sunny days
Unless we need rain
We love warmth in winter
Unless we want ice or snow
Thus we praise or complain
Depending on subjective thoughts
But weather isn’t listening
And though what we do affects it
Felling trees or burning fuels
It doesn’t answer to us
Or for us
So we may as well find out how to enjoy each day
Whether it be thunder or sun
Because the weather is what it is
When all is said and done.
