What had started as an excuse to “get out of the house a couple of times a week” has become a source of real joy for Peter.
Like most retirees, Peter was searching for something to keep his mind stimulated after calling it a career at Imperial Oil, ultimately electing to start volunteering with Habitat for Humanity in February of 2019.
