Today's interview is with Una Festor, a small woman with a huge presence. Coming from Cape Town, South Africa to Vancouver, Canada in 1966 she began teaching music at an elementary school. She had a choir, guitar and recorder groups and a band. Later she taught language and math as well as music with over 300 students every week.
Now she's joined the ForEverGreen company and focuses on helping people improve their health. You can connect with her at: una@business-bc.com
Here's a person with so many qualifications and so much experience it's amazing a person can accomplish all this in one lifetime. Laurie has not only worked but excelled in the following fields: occupational therapy in extended care, home renovations. She has a Red Seal Trade Qualification in painting and decorating, one of the few women in BC to accomplish this. She's also worked in media productions, distance education and para-legal work.
About 6 years ago she embarked on her own business helping the elderly with home repairs. Since she used to do this same service for her won grandmother, she calls it Handy Granddaughter. The goal is to keep seniors in their home for as long as possible and to provide reasonable priced help.
Here's an interesting man who has a wealth of both practical and course knowledge. As with the others I've interviewed he's extremely active as you'll hear. Cal Lypkie worked in the moving and storage business for over 30 years. Then he managed an apartment complex for 9 years after his wife became sick.
Now he's involved with two Toastmasters clubs called Professional Edge and Spontaneous Speakers. In addition, he's putting together his own business called Destiny Developments Unlimited. He'll tell you all about it.
Here's his address if you want to contact him: clypkie@telus.net
Bob Munro is as senior with a wealth of life experience and wisdom. He's had many careers - everything from farming to fire fighting to telecommunications and now sales and marketing. However, his real passion is helping families stay together through retreats and support groups for men. In our world often devoid of extended family support, Bob's work is a breath of fresh air and salvation to the many people he has touched.
