KKEMANO -— I came to . this remote and isolated ' settlement to teach peo- ‘ple about money. But _ they taught me about _ some far more impor- tant values.

Kemano is nestled at the base of Mr. DuBose, 1,850 -metres high and surrounded

by other snow-covered peaks. ~It’s a three-hour boat ride from civilization, along inland channels where evergreen ’ forests and frozen waterfalls: drop i into the ocean. , Kemano; population 215

I listened ta —- and heard — what Garrett said. Perhaps | can’t leave things unlocked back in the city. But it’s good to be reminded of sharing and caring. And I certainly can make more of an effort, and take the time, to listen to and
