Friendships can go a long way at JKC! Andy Chow, a former JKC staff, recently visited Southlands-JKC (during his reading break from Toronto, Ontario) just to play hockey with his Southlands crew. Andy and Southlands-JKC’s longtime member, Alex Joyce, have been staying in touch via email since September 2008. Together, they planned a day for Andy to stop by and hang out and we wanted to share this experience with everyone!
Such amazing relationships are created, developed and nurtured at JKC and we are happy to be a part of it!
