Starry Lake & Toronto

We are a family of 4- Mom - Kat, Dad James, with our 2 young adults in the house, Sage and Reed. We have a nice place to live in Toronto and we all love escaping to the Gorgerous Canadian Wilderness every chance we get. I expect that volunteering with us will be fun because you will get to join in to our family dynamics and to discover both the city and the amazing Starry Lake Dark Sky Oasis - an eco retreat we have been developing since 2020.

We are looking for someone who has lots of energy and enthusiasm for cool projects. We ourselves have far too many creative ideas so we need hands to help get things DONE... We are world travelers and nature lovers who love talking to people and exchanging ideas and stories. We all love music and theatre, and we are into healthy activities like saunas cold plunges ( if you come in winter there are plenty of COLD options LOL). Volunteering with us will be part work, part fun, and part FREE time to go explore the areas around Toronto and beyond. We love sharing the great aspects of our city and country.

There aren't words to explain my gratitude to Kat and her family.
When a last-minute placement fell through, Kat welcomed me with open arms, warmth, and generosity. I quickly learned this is her entire being.
Working with Kat at their Starry Lakes property was a dream and staying with her family in Toronto was fun and just the connection I was chasing. It was rewarding working towards their goal for the property and like a dream swimming in the lake with the picturesque background.
Kat always made sure I was comfortable and engaged.
Thank you - You'll always be my second family.

RIANNA!!!❤ It is so amazing how life works... and who we meet when and why. It was a pure joy to have you land in our home and bring your incredible fun and focussed energy to help me stay on track with the many projects always spinning. So awesome that we both felt we won the lottery ! It was like a non-stop work party with you around and your signature is in the many little upgrades and refinements around Starty Lake and our home. SO AWESOME!! Thank You so much. You are a total Gem.

I am having trouble figuring out how to leave a proper review for you.. SO in case anyone is reading this wanting to find out about Ali- SHE IS AWESOME.. so easy to be with, very gentle, kind, caring, thoughtful, considerate.... I felt like after 5 minutes of knowing her she is the kind of person you can trust totally- no problem to have Ali in your home... :-)
