CANADA - introducing Catherine, Chris & Menno




Meet our three Canadian delegates - Catherine, Chris and Menno.

Both Menno and Chris work with computers - skills ranging from IT / PC and Network Support to web design, whilst Catherine is a pastry chef and speaks French.

They will jump on the blogspot to tell you more about themselves soon. :-)

G'day Canucks!!

What parts of Canada are you guys from? I've spent some time in Halifax, Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal. What a beautiful country you have.
Now for the important questions: Catherine, when in Halifax, I became addicted to an East Coast pastry by the name of 'Beaver Tails'. I've tried many times to cook these for myself and failed miserably every time. Are you skilled in the ancient Canadian art of Beaver Tail cooking? If so, could you please hide some in your bag so that I may eat one when you arrive? I promise you a big Vegemite sandwich in return.

Hello all

I'm from Calgary, in the prairie west of canada.

I competed in the 2005 competition. Right now i am studying a bachelors degree in information systems technology. A real mouth full, but it's just a fancy name for computer studies.

i am still involved with world skills, as I am on the board of directors for WorldSkills 2009 which will be held in my own hometown of calgary :)

just read some of your other posts here... and I sure we'll have an interesting mix of a bunch of people.

I'm originally from Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories, in the northern part of Canada. I am so far away from most parts of Canada that even people in my own country are sometimes surprised to know where I come from.

I go to school in Ottawa, Ontario (About 3000km in a straight line from where I come from to here), where our parliament is located. I am taking software engineering at a university in Ottawa. Both French and English are spoken in Ottawa, but I can really only say I speak English.

I competed in the 2005 world skills competition in Web Design. I've been to Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal, but not Halifax. Two of those places I have been flown to by skills canada (Vancouver for a national competition and Montreal as a meeting point to continue on to Finland for the WorldSkills competition).

Hello Canadians cousins !

You speak French !

It's good.

If you want, you can write me a mail on
daviet.sarl@wanadoo.fr

We can make a little group to discuss in french language, by a mail list with Hanna from Sweden and french peoples who will go on the youth forum.

What do you think about this proposition ?

See you soon.

Bye, Bye,

Anthony
