Social Workers: Henry Peters

Janey Lee Dept: Teachers teach, social workers care for a community's welfare, and mendicant friars with begging bowls have long since been replaced by slick TV hosts and prime-time telethons, according to Vancouver Sun. In the world surrounding Thunderbird elementary on Cassiar Street - which exists in the shadow of the province's largest social housing project and all that entails - such demarcations have long since vanished and when Henry Peters and Janey Lee graduated, there was nothing in the fine print on their teaching certificates that mentioned having to be semi-professional fundraisers or part time social workers. Of course, that's in a perfect world. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
