“Upon graduating from the Heritage Carpentry and Millwork Program in 1994, I was employed with a restoration contractor based in Kingston for two years. This was an excellent learning opportunity for me, since I was entrusted to work independently to dismantle and reconstruct old timber frame and log buildings. Through the process of deconstruction and reconstruction of old heritage buildings, I was able to explore intimately the inner-workings (and not-workings) of these structures and develop a further understanding of traditional construction techniques.” Peter Ramsay, Carpentry and Joinery – Heritage
Part of the Community The Perth campus is an integral part of the local community. For students in the Masonry – Heritage and Traditional program, historical Perth serves as a living textbook. Students in the Construction Carpentry – Advanced Housing program have just finished construction of their seventh green home, designed with function and energy conservation as the guiding principles. In the Social Service Worker, Personal Support Worker, Office Administration – Executive, and the Early Childhood Education programs, students get the field placement opportunities they need to become productive employees of local businesses and organizations.

Throughout the year, our class was presented with both mental and physical challenges that brought us together and helped us grow as individuals. We learned that there is more to forestry than just logging. Forestry encompasses the whole ecosystem—the growth, management and care of our forests along with all the things in it. The Forestry program provided us with the skills to confidently enter the workforce and gave us more than a traditional education...it gave us a future.” NICOLE BERGEVIN, FORESTRY TECHNICIAN GRAD, 2011
