TRADES FAIR 2016

I would like to invite all students and parents to our second Trades Fair at North Island Secondary School.  It will be held on Thursday, March 10th at NISS.  We will begin at 11:30 with an opening by Jay Dixon and then students will be able to move throughout the Fair with their teachers or in small groups. Our PAC will be providing a free hot dog for all students.  This year we will have the ‘Find Your Fit Tour” on site. This will give students a real chance to discover a trade they may be interested in.  More information can be found at: https://www.findyourfittour.ca/

There will be hands on activities for the students and they will have a bingo stamp card that they can have filled up for a chance to win an awesome prize.  Some of the businesses in attendance will be Hardy Buoys, Greigs Seafood, Marine Harvest, Progressive Diesel, West Coast Helicopters, Vancouver Art Institute, Visions Hair Salon, Creation Renovation, Coastal Community Insurance, North Island Employment Foundations Society, Community Futures, and many others.

I hope you will participate.  This was an awesome day in 2014 and NISS loves hosting the Trades Fair.  It is also open this year to the public from 4:00 -7:00 p.m. See you there.

If you have a business and would like to participate contact kmcarthur@sd85.bc.ca or phone Kathleen McArthur at 250-956-3394.
