We went to Gabriola Elementary School, to show
support for teachers on the picket line.
We visited, “The Commons.” The Commons, “Is a grassroots community organization,
managed by volunteers, and dedicated to enhancing the social fabric of the
community.” (Excerpt from www.gabriolacommons.ca). They had an amazingly well trimmed hedge in
the front yard, community gardens and community programs.
We had a very tasty seafood
chowder for lunch.
Thumbs up to Artworks for their
support for teachers.
