Students at Okanagan College and Selkirk College are benefitting from new learning opportunities thanks to support from organizations in British Columbia. Okanagan’s culinary school received 2,000 pounds of Arctic char from Road 17 Fish Farms. Students gained hands-on experience in large-scale food preparation as they processed the fish and delivered them to an organization that will use them to feed those in need. Selkirk has partnered with FortisBC, the Community Energy Association, and RDH Building Science on a pilot project that will offer carpentry program students the opportunity to learn about high performance window installation. The program includes three days devoted to a hands-on project that will prepare students to install windows in high performance homes.
