Hope everyone got their turkey on and enjoyed a great Holiday. I know I stuffed myself silly. Will have to do a few extra laps over the coming days to wear it off.

Here’s a post about a little blurb I found (albeit a little late) about an Institute of which I currently belong to – Go KVI!
If you’re interested in taking some Industrial courses or…upgrading to obtain your Grade 12 even, call the school for more information.

The Kitimat Valley Institute is going to continue to grow and develop in the coming years, says institute manager Roger Leclerc.

“Its evolved along from when it first started,” he said, adding, “I’m sure in the next year or so it’ll change a bit more.”

Leclerc said the Job Readiness Program currently underway has just over 20 people enrolled while their safety programs draw 300-400 people a year.

Programs are also continually being added. For example, Leclerc said a pulp and paper program will be introduced in January.

Leclerc said the institute is continually assessing itself, considering what the community needs, and also what the region needs.
