She gave us some of the history of Legacy Funds in Canada and BC and why they started one locally. Lorna and the board of the Legacy Society are very active and dedicated members of the communities in which they reside but Lorna was the one on the hot seat today so we asked her to share a little of her own motivations for volunteering.

This week we talked with shaman Tommy Hopkins about his work clearing ghosts from the Slocan Valley. Tommy found that there were many Japanese ghosts from the period that they were interred in the area. They wanted to return to Japan because of a Shinto belief that they needed to go to Mt. Fuji. He also talked about clearing the local health centre of Doukhobor ghosts and the ghosts of local residents.
