EX-CON OFFERS ADDICTION PROGRAM

Jamie McMahon is embracing the challenge of helping people through
the same problems that plagued his life.

Starting this month, Mr. McMahon will deliver an addictions treatment
and pre-employment training course for Aboriginal people. He's been
down the same road before, once being arrested for the attempted
robbery of a cab driver in 2002.

He's been out of jail since May 2005 and has managed to turn his life
around, staying clear of the temptations of drugs and alcohol. He's
been taking courses through Whitepath Counselling Services in
Peterborough to become a counsellor and is looking forward to
delivering his first program.

"I like to help people...I've gone through it myself and it's not an
easy road," says Mr. McMahon.

He says he will relate his personal experiences to the group.

Currently a cook at a local restaurant, Mr. McMahon says his dream is
to become a counsellor. He says Whitepath is keeping him busy and is
helping him receive the training he needs. Eventually, Mr. McMahon
says he may be sent to Native reserves across Canada to counsel people.

"It's a good opportunity for me," he says.

In addition to Mr. McMahon's addictions and pre-employment program,
Whitepath is also offering a 20-day Healing and Wellness for Women
program. Mr. McMahon says it will help abused women cope with their
daily struggle.
