Orientation to Trades and Technology Survey

Women in Resource Development Corporation are trying to get in touch with the graduates of all the Orientation to Trades and Technology (OTT) programs.

We spoke with Jan Burry who is the Community Development Coordinator with the Woman in Resource Development.

She says this survey is for those who have completed the OTT program to inform the graduates association so that they can keep in touch or to discover ways to continue to support those in their career pursuits.

Burry says they think that this can be helpful for those who have finished the course to assist in the creation of a program among themselves and the WRDC.

This survey is to share positive and negative training and career experiences, as well as lessons learned.

She says some questions on this survey are Where are they now? Are you interested in trades? Where are you now?

The OTT program is held for 16 weeks in Happy Valley Goose Bay, St. John’s, Placentia and Corner Brook.

She says they hope to have the OTT program running again in January 2012.

If you would be willing to participate in either or both of these activities please contact Jan Burry at (709) 896-6315 or 1-800-738-3713.

And that is to make a ditch with line of rocks to make sure there is no run off of muggy water into the reservoir. Andersen says everyone remembers how dirty and muggy their running water was in their homes last spring, so they are trying to avoid the same disaster to happen. Meanwhile the other capital works projects in Nain that has started include interior repairs on the Husky Center. He says the repairs were started by Budgell’s Equipment Rentals a couple of weeks ago, and there is still a lot of work to do before everything is completed in 2012.

  A Colder Winter for Nunatsiavut (Audio to be added later) Oct 31, 2011, 10:31 AM People in Nunatsiavut and Labrador as a whole maybe still reeling from the warmer than normal winter we had last year. We remember the rainy and warm weather up to Christmas time and later. We also remember the “Cains Quest” snowmobile race up to the Labrador coast having to be cancelled because of no snow and poor ice conditions. It may be a little different this year. David Philips is a Senior Climatologist with Environment Canada in Ottawa. He says in the forty years he has observed the weather patterns, he hasn’t seen the weather being the way it has been in Labrador, especially last year.
