Thomas Pethick is only 15 months old but he already loves to help out in his parent’s Water Utility Company in Quesnel.
He started going to work with his mom last September.
“Since then, he’s just been watching what we do every day,” mom Tamara Pelletier said.

“We have the delivery truck come and go a couple of times a day and we load it up in the morning and we unload it throughout the day and he just watches and likes to pack the jugs around.”
