Many Canadians going to serve

The last training for the spring will be in Halifax in May and already we have many Canadians who have been posted to Spain......and two to France. 
From June 15-July 1, Barbara, Donna and Susan will be hospitaleras at the CSJ    albergue in Rabanal. This is known as Canada week and  sure the flag will be flying. If you are interested in volunteering in Rabanal next year, now is the time to apply. 
And elsewhere:
Peggy will be serving in Zamora from June 1-15.  Ingrid and Mary Lynn hopes be there from July 15-31. 
Ingrid will also serve in Miraz from August 12-28. 
From September 1-15, Sally will be in Zamora and Lily will be in Salamanca. Larry will follow Lily from September 16-30. 
Ron and Yvonne will serve in Bordeaux from September 21-28. 
And welcoming autumn/winter pilgrims to Salamanca from November 1-15 will be Dennis and Cindy. 
If you have friends walking at these times, encourage them to drop in and say hello. 
For anyone interested in a placement on the Caminho Portugese, Geof, from Nova Scotia, retired a few years ago, bought a wreck in Portugal, 9km south of Tui, Spain, fixed it up, and now welcomes and nourishes up to 16 pilgrims a night. All donativo. It's a terrific place and he could certainly use some help this season as his partner is recovering from a broken wrist. You can reach him at quintaestradaromana*gmail.com. I've substituted for the "at" sign to try and avoid spam. 
Buen camino all!
