calendarHeritage River Calendar visits the Caribbean
One of our members recently returned from vacation in the Dominican Republic. He decided to gift a copy of his calendar to a young Canadian school teacher working there.  Her class was absolutely thrilled.  The images of Canada's rivers displayed on their classroom wall now provide wonderful discussion & learning.  A little bonus in a school system with limited teaching resources.
