One of the last activities at work this year was a signing ceremony for cooperation with the government of the small Caribbean island state of St. Kitts & Nevis. A fair amount of the investment in the island's main industry (tourism via cruise ships who pass by for a day) comes from Canada, and there is a need to do more vocational capacity building at the island to better service the needs of the industry in today's world. Through mediation of a local MP the team at Seneca was asked to investigate what can be done during the coming years.

For Christmas we all visited the home of Joe & Marcy Vandenboom in Sarnia, a tradition of the last so many years. Hilary and Mark made Mary and me a nice sign (Hilary lives in Fonthill again now that she works as a nurse in the emergency department of the hospital in Niagara Falls). On the photo also Opa and Oma Vandenboom, still going strong in their mid-eighties.
All the best wishes for everybody for a happy, healthy and productive 2015.
