Apr, 29th - the rest of the day

Four of the cyclists are graduates of the Big White Fire department Work Experience Program, its a 10 month contract with the fire department. The program runs from July to April every year and employs 6 firefighters to live in the hall and serve the community. The community up here is full of fantastic people and most of our fire department is made up of volunteers that live and work in the community year round. They have been throwing little goodbye parties and dinners for us all week - wishing us good luck on our searches for careers in the fire service and good luck on our ride. After a big breakfast with some of the members of our department this morning, we all packed our gear together and turned our uniforms and turnout gear back into the supply room. Its been a pretty crazy 10 months - good job experience was gained and some very strong friendships were formed. Time has flown by... all of us are gonna miss this place.
