Hello everyone! I have some trouble to find where I can put my river knife on this life jacket. In my preivous life jacket, I had some webbing on the shoulder strap, so I just used zip ties to strap my knife on the shoudler strap. I started using this life jacket (my last birthday present yay) last year, and I put the river knife below the pocket. This jacket has no webbing on the shoulder straps. It's a bit annoying there because when I tried to climbed back my whitewater canoe, that knife made it harder to climb back to the boat.

I just would like to know if someone has some good idea! Thank you!

Hello everyone,

I requested a legal name change in Quebec and submitted the full application, including the reasons why I want to change my name. The main reason is that my name has been subject to ridicule, and I was often teased because of it during my school years. At both my current and previous workplaces (as well as in school), there have been many occasions where my name was repeatedly misspelled. My name is foreign origin.

As an adult, in my skiing and hiking clubs, there have also been a few occasions where people became curious about my name and found it amusing because it has a foreign origin

However, the Directeur de l’état civil is asking me to provide testimony from people who witnessed the inconvenience my name has caused me. I am wondering whether this is a normal request. I do not know how I could ask previous bullies or witnesses from my school years to “prove” that these incidents happened.

I also feel uncomfortable asking my current company to write a letter stating that my name was repeatedly misspelled (by colleagues and supervsiors) or that they witnessed related incidents. It almost feels like I would be asking the company to admit wrongdoing toward me.

I would really appreciate any advice or suggestions on this matter. I think proving that I was bullied when I was younger, or that my name has repeatedly been misspelled at workplaces, is very difficult.
