Gail proudly showing off the two-page spread about Navigating Hope.

It’s been a good Saturday morning for Gail and me.

We opened the Winnipeg Free Press (Saturday, October 13, 2018) over coffee and toast, flipped to the 49.8° (Altitude At Latitude) section, pages F7-8 to find a two-page spread with photos from our Navigating Hope project.
