Other Towns and Cities

in the true north strong and free, i sit tight

in other towns and cities

no one knows where I am

in the rain, the ocean, or forest

my usual playgrounds

here i am

way up here

i could only stay put

waiting it out

changed my clothes

put the heat on

wind is howling

like the wolves at our doorstep

tracks fresh

beside me on my skiis

one long breath and we part our ways

across the highway to nowhere

And other duties as required!

Being part of the recreation department means I get to do lots of fun community events - like dressing up as Dora and being in Prince Rupert's 100 year birthday party parade for kids -then hanging out in City Hall in the Council chambers after with my favourite coworkers!
