Canoe Forest Products hosting SD83 Students Next Month

The Council of Forest Industries and Salmon Arm’s Canoe Forest Products are teaming up to host a number of school district students interested in careers in the Forest Industry on Thursday May 11th.

24 students from SAS Sullivan, SAS-Jackson, Eagle River Secondary, Educational Outreach and Salmon Arm Storefront will have a chance to check out of the community’s largest private-sector employer. The students will be able to observe the day-to-day operations of the plywood plant and meet mill operators, tradespeople and managers to learn about their careers and how they got into the position they are in.

This is believed to be one of the first times in recent memory with the Council of Forest Industries working with a southern interior school district to host such an event. If you are interested in the event, please make sure the student picks up a parent consent form from the site-based career coordinator at SAS-Jackson, SAS-Sullivan or Eagle River Secondary. If you wish more details about the event, please get hold of George Richard via text or phone at 778-824-1188 or email grichard@sd83.bc.ca.
