[Video] Canada Day 2008 in Kitimat

Posted by S. Piche on July 2, 2008

A huge “Thank you” to my two “Top Guns” – My Husband and the Canadian “Kemano” Pilot for giving me the ride of my life!!! If you get a chance to take a Helicopter tour next year on Canada Day while in Kitimat, or when visiting us, I highly suggest you do. It was worth every penny! What a Rush!! [See Video]

“Please forgive the “blips” at the front of the video – Google mangled the audio when it was uploaded. Hopefully I will find time to edit and repost it.

Oh… and to quick thank you to… “Ongy”… for giving us the best seats in the house to watch the fireworks display afterwards – you’re a doll!

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.

“That one is basically with Eurocan,” he noted, “But there may be other people that come into it.”

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