Scentsational … using our senses!


Submitted by Melanie K.


At our last meeting on November 19th, Toastmaster Melanie K. took us on a mini exploration into the world of scents. Everyone shared their favourite or not so pleasant scent. We learned about how the first recorded perfume was made back in 1200 BCE.


Kerrianne K-M. informed us about public trust and the Canadian agri-food scene, while Eileen S. provided a descriptive speech on her preparations for family who will be home for the holidays.


We became aware of what some of the best jobs are such as sommelier (wine), chocolatier, baker, florist amongst others to some of the most odious jobs such as zookeeper, sanitation and sewage technologists, pathologists and crime scene investigators. Polar bears have the best sense of smell and can smell seals 32 km away! Dog have jobs smelling many different things helping military and law enforcement personnel from bed bugs, landmines, to money, drugs and foreign foods. Melanie brought various scented essential oils and books on aromatherapy. Scented prizes were given to everyone in attendance. A scentsational good time was had by all!


Please join us on December 3rd as we delve into Workshop Essentials led by Lingo’s President Dan M., DTM! J
