We also hosted a Tremendous Careers Day Dec. 2 where we had professionals from all of our pathways visit and talk to students about their work. From Mackinnon transport to the Guelph Police Service to Stigmata Tattooing there was something for everyone. Many thanks to Linda Renusz and all the others who helped to plan this day....
