MEC voting (that time of year)

Voting is good. Most people don't bother voting for their representatives in elections. I go further: I vote for the non-profit where I bought my backpack for my first European tour (and my rock climbing gear etc).

MEC elections 2014

I purchased my first piece of specialized equipment from MEC many years ago, before going backpacking in Europe. It was a backpack I could not find anywhere else, a backpack I still have and find useful. And ever since, I voted in their elections. This year I thought it would not hurt to write about this particular experience.

I was recently contacted by a former housemate who will be in Toronto temporarily. We were housemates in the Lowther co-op housing division, in Toronto downtown, somewhere close to Bloor, between Spadina and Bay St.
