I was born in Jamaica and have been residing in Canada for over 20 years. I graduated with Honours Bachelor of Arts degree at University of Toronto, a Graduate Certificate in Public Administration at Seneca College, and a Masters in Business Administration (MBA) at the University of the West Indies, Mona. I've worked for the former Ministry of Children ad Youth Services (now the Ministry of Children, Community, and Social Services). Now I'm a Court and Client Representative for the Ministry of the Attorney General. In my spare time, I write press releases, blogs, and news articles for different organizations, including my own website. I write about experiences about travelling, social justice issues, relationship and spirituality. Visit me at shaunacassell.ca
Oh yes, Canada has beaches. The area I went today was called The Beaches and it is a beautiful and rich area in Toronto. The lake outlines the horizon and creates for a lovely scenery. Water sure has a way to make a landscape nice to look at. My two […]
It’s been 17 days and about 2 and a half hours since I arrived in Canada. Yea, well over two weeks. But is there a set timeline that you should get back in the routines of day-to-day life? Someone advised me, don’t rush! And I have heeded to that advice […]
It’s crazy at my workplace, but not since I’ve been back. I must admit, my job is quite odd. Firstly, it’s not your typical 9-5 Monday to Friday gig. Nope, in my job I do a lot of shift work. After a whole week of resting/recovering from my 6-week vacation, […]
Yea, another dinner date on another weekend. I told you, this is the thing to do here. Dinner was at 6pm, I arrived promptly at 5:58 in the parking lot, casually walked towards the door, where it was held open by another guest coming to eat dinner at the same […]
The other day I found myself deep in thought about Jamaica. We built a relationship over the last few weeks and now I am wondering, will this work? I mean, Jamaica is miles away now and as much as there are so many great memories I simply have to let […]
Slowly I’m getting used to things again. I thought maybe I would think differently about driving on the streets of Toronto, maybe be afraid or something- but I just developed a brand new appreciation for our roads. They are beautiful, spacious and drivers are accommodating. I mean, people don’t cut […]
I know this is so typical of most people’s experience in Canada I wonder if it’s worth talking about. Still I will do my best to make it as entertaining as possible. Upon arriving at Highway 400 and Weston area, I can see the large colosseum reaching over the highway. […]
A stroll along Falls Ave alone can leave you in awe if you’ve never been to Niagara Falls before. The street is filled with restaurants, haunted museums (House of Frankenstein, Haunted House, Ripley’s believe it or not), theatres, shops, ice cream parlours and so much more. There is also a […]
I was in for a small surprise upon entering the airport. I already know that Toronto Pearson International Airport is really big. For the past few years, it seems like they are always reconstructing that place, which doesn’t always make it too appealing to look at. Frankly speaking, it always […]
Thank you to all who followed my journey to Jamaica. For the most part I have accomplished everything I set out to do. Unfortunately I did not stay in any resort and I did not visit 5 parishes in the south west part of Jamaica. I’m not completely unhappy about […]
