My goal was to find a way to beautify my youngest sons school entrance (without the cost of a landscaping company).
We organized a basket for collection of bulb flowers near the end of the year,and my wife and children helped plant them during the fall season.
The results were worth waiting for in the Spring,as the walkways were lined with flowers!

The results were worth waiting for in the Spring,as the walkways were lined with flowers!
Helping to improve the air quality was also a factor in planning the yard.
We donated various shrubs and plants, due to the kindness of a local garden center we had a business relationship with.
Volunteering and promoting others has played a big part of who I am,and has been the testing ground, for what I am capable of.
No project is too big or small for me and I enjoy challenges in all aspects of life. -

Any activities that have required volunteers usually include my wife and 3 boys. We have always given our time graciously as we love our Church Community.
We have had many occasions to enjoy Re-doing the gardens at the church and the Mance. This was part of a larger gardening project we did at the same time at the elementary school. The amount of donations from local nurseries allowed us to spread the donated flowers through-out the community of Saint-Lambert.
Multi-tasking is another favorite of mine. I will always promote acts of kindness as much as possible.
Our church hosts a week-long, 6 hour a day, Vacation Bible school during the 1st week of summer.
We help working families have a safe and educational place for their young ones. I have helped my wife while 2 of my children attended. We also assisted organizing the outdoor games.
I have also helped to paint and clean the Christian Learning Center. Plastering, Painting etc. We fixed the eaves troughs with leave guards and helped to paint the church. We have had the pleasure to have donated and hang Christmas lights that year as well.
It has been a pleasure serving our church here in Canada. We also look forward to attending our new church in Florida late 2016. -
