The majority of
those enlisted are university students from across Canada.
But always there is a mix from around the world, like
the young lady named Iris from Peru that we met. Everyone
was
in the twenty-something age range with not a spare
ounce of fat on them anywhere. All were smiling. The job
is over
soon and they head home with their paychecks
in hand by Friday.
All recruits receive
a list of equipment they must bring before arriving at
headquarters in Prince George. Complete outfitting cost
Lori $1500 and included her tent, sleeping bag, shovel,
leg gators, gloves, bags to hold the trees, bear spray,
whistle, waterproof boots, walkman and water bottles.
She says that now that she has the equipment, it gives
her
incentive to return in 2004.
