Well, my summer in Vancouver and at Canfor is coming to an end and I can’t say I am happy about it. I can easily report this has been one of the best summers I have ever had.

Everyone looks forward to Fridays, but at the head office in Vancouver at Canfor, the day is extra special. This is because we have Food Truck Fridays!

During my second week at Canfor I got a chance to sit with our Talent Acquisition (TA) team. At first I was a little upset that I had to leave my desk in Learning & Leadership because I had my own phone with my name on it, which I thought was really cool (it’s the little things in life right?).

After four years of writing essays during my time in university, I never would have believed I would be a summer blogger. What an exciting opportunity it is to share my summer experience of living in Vancouver and working as a Human Resource intern at Canfor with all of you readers.
