007 - Alex Fida - Prince Edward County - Heritage Preservation

Alex Fida from Prince Edward County and his sister Melanie grew up in Bloomfield - 10 minutes away from Picton.  Their deep connection to this area is seen in the way they care for the old and quirky buildings that Alex and his partner play a key role in conserving.  Living in rural Ontario forces Alex to adapt to the changing seasons with a varied set of skills.  Along with running an Inn, he also works as a consultant in conservation and design .  Alex has discovered that finding a job that makes you happy serving others within your community is a way of making meaningful connections.  These connections are vital during these times when simply reaching out beyond small talk can be a the difference between isolation and lonliness to happiness and a feeling of belonging.
