Canada
I have lived, worked, studied, and traveled throughout Canada. Though I was born in Vancouver, I grew up mostly on the Island. I first posted to the Internet while a student at the University of Victoria. This blog however, was created while I was a student at the University of British Columbia.
My career took me all over Canada. I did co-op work terms in Victoria, Yellowknife, Calgary, and Ottawa. Later, I spent my MBA internship in Prince George. I created this website while working in Vancouver and I’ve since documented both the 2010 Olympics and working in the DTES for a local non-profit.
So if you have questions about living, working, studying or traveling in Canada you should peruse this archive of blog posts below or you can send me a question using email or social media.

One of the books in our possession is a self published volume entitled “The Dougans of Cobble Hill”. This was produced by Nathan Dougan or based on his writings and documents in his possession. It has a fairly accurate family tree for Dougans born in Canada and this can be corroborated by census data and such…
