We are retired Systems Engineers who spend our time now doing volunteer work, taking care of our rescued cats, sailing and travelling. We also enjoy cooking and developing vegetarian recipes.

Volunteering

We both are drivers for the Toronto Wildlife Centre helping to rescue sick, injured or orphaned wildlife

Gilles drives for the Canadian Cancer Society two days each week, transporting patients to the hospital for treatment.

We both volunteer for theCNIB by taking a group of blind people on outings such as the Science Centre, museum, zoo. Vicki also visits a deaf-blind man twicw each week. She communicates with him using a hand language called the two handed manual system.
