An Ontario-based non-profit organization is working with Alberta school boards to change the perception of trades careers and build a pipeline of future skilled workers in this province.
The "Honour the Work" program, founded by Angela Coldwell and her husband Tim, brings hands-on construction and trades education to elementary school students across the province.
The program, which has distributed 810 kits across Alberta, aims to address the looming shortage of skilled trades workers. "And if they're not in the construction industry themselves, their kids may never, ever be exposed to anything related to the idea of building and working in a team and constructing."
"When we look at the younger ages, Grade 1 and up to Grade 6 in that elementary sphere, it's the opportunity to engage in real work projects and real pathways to learning right and to future careers," Leslie said. Lethbridge police have charged two people in connection with a weekend carjacking that saw a stolen vehicle driven dangerously throughout the city.Jenni Gibbons was inspired to become an astronaut at a young age by Canada’s early space explorers, including Roberta Bondar. Now, the Artemis II backup crew member is hoping she can motivate the next generation to look to the stars.
