Intro to this Project

Sam Vekemans, and avid cyclist and GPS Mapping Publisher the founder of Across Canada Trails In pleased to announce the start of this new Venture ... Artists Inn Transition, or NLight-inn (the company/Hostel name hasnt been defined totally yet.

After being in Victoria for 3 months, and having gone by each day the countless homeless people on the street, it made him wonder "What Can I do to Help?"
Well, here in the city there are several programs that are available, but none really that combine an awsome hostel environment, with helping the homeless.
Mirroring the concept of Work for Stay, at a hostel. .. However, becomming a place where artists of all types can get a starting ground.

The main Motto is 'Don't Worry, Be Happy'
Why?
- Life is simply too short to be worring about things.... if we just have the confidence and believe that things will always work out for the best. ... That's the 1st step in making things better.
-The concept of giving of yourself 1st, before you recieve is another value. Everyone has some tallent and ability, and has something that they can offer.

The community is designed that it will grow with more people involvement and input to make it better.... provided that the main motto is always looked at 1st.

Free counceling... lets say, free ears are available to listen to peoples stories. ... They are to be written down in text form and shared with others..

Using the power of free we are able to use resources such as www.usedvictoria.com and can go pick up the various 'Things' needed. If everyone helps a little.. Wow, what a difference.
