Google+ Hangout Meets iPhone!
As part of the East Kootenay Conversations on Child Care I had a Google+ Hangout On Air with Nancy Savarie & Tracy Felhauer. Unfortunately due to some technical challenges we ended up talking on my iPhone within the hangout. As such, I have just uploaded the audio recording of our full conversation. Regardless, we had an excellent discussion and explored many important issues related to families and child care in the region.
Nancy and Tracy are each Certified Dental Assistants who work with Interior Health in the East Kootenay Region of British Columbia. In their role with Interior Health they visit licensed child care programs to examine young children’s teeth and help educate about dental related issues. Due to their work with local child care programs as well as through their own personal experiences, they have a good understanding about the issues that programs and families are facing.
