Homeward Bound's move forward
Interview with Aya Chen and Aftab Mirza
Homeward Bound Rescue (HBR) would not be in existence if it weren’t for Tammy Harper, the board of directors and the many volunteers. The Bowmanville, Ontario resident took over the rescue after one of its founders, Kathy Blundell, died last year. Harper began volunteering with HBR as a foster parent but gradually took on more responsibilities. After Blundell passed away in February 2014, the choice was to either take over as president or shut down HBR. We recently reached her to see how she is doing.
