Education & History
I have studied both Business and History at two different schools. I started out but receiving a Business Certificate from Nova Scotia Community College in Springhill, NS. I then went to Mount Allison University to work on a Commerce Degree. I changed my mind on what I wanted to study in my first year. I became a History major and worked on a Canadian Studies minor. I haven't taken classes in a few years due to finances and family. I have one year left.
My wife has a degree from UNB in History. Below you will find links to Educational Institutes and resources as well as links to Historical sites.
