Many of us have kids tagging along with us to work Many of us have kids tagging along with us to work these days, so please meet Oli Lion Joyce! Pictured here expertly removing frame fasteners from a small wooden cat boat. At 7 years old he’s been an occasional worker at Tern since he could walk, but there’s been an uptick in his attendance since Covid freed him from the clutches of organized education. Oli enjoys bike riding, playing the fiddle, and generally being awesome. 😎 #ternboatworks #woodenboats #novascotia #custom #boatbuilding #takeyourkidstowork #teachyourchildrenwell #covidparenting
