Heather

Age: 22
Nationality: Canadian
Life Story: I was born in Rocky Mountain House in November, 1986. My family moved out of town, to the acreage before I started kindergarten. I stayed there until I graduated from Will Sinclair High in 2005. I then moved in with my Uncle in Calgary, and worked full time, and tried to pick up some classes at the University. In April 2006 I applied, and was hired as a pool manager in Tuktoyaktuk, in the Northwest Territories. I moved there for the summer and had an amazing time. When I got back to Calgary in the fall, I enrolled at the University full time. I worked part time at a local pool, and found a room to rent, across the street from François! Since then I have had a few jobs and a few houses in Calgary, until August 2008, when I moved to Europe to live with François.
Favorite Activities: Swimming, canoeing, reading, hanging out with François!
Favorite Music: The Beatles, Alternative Rock
