Our days of a small country drive to DHQ are over. Now it is a 20 minute walk with the temperature rapidly dropping. The THQ building is set in the midst of a busy metro, high rise apartments and shops. There are many trees surrounding and some kids play areas. The building is over 100 years old. You realise that, as you enter and find your way through a maze of small offices. In fact some workers are placed in areas we would use as a broom closet at home. It is quite amazing to see the way work is done over here. Every potential space is used for something. Storage is found wherever it can be placed and stacked to the roof.
The dining room is in the basement and you sit in a communal dining room with floral plastic table cloths. The TC & Chief have modest offices on the middle of the three floors.
Our office on the top floor looking out over a tree filled park. They tell us when the snow falls it is the best view.
There is no luxury of a welcome receptionist, no lcd screens, but the latest war cry in the foyer with some army pictures remind you of where we are.
And so our work begins. Lots of paperwork to begin but we look forward to finding ways to connect with people and make a difference in this place.
