Last weekend, STEP REPS Dave, Susan, and Afra and Training & Communications Coordinator Joelle attended the 2022 Interior Logging Association Conference and Trade Show in Kamloops, BC, which was a huge success! Lots of people attended to see the different vendors, and Joelle's daughter was able to experience some hands-on welding in the NVIT mobile welding trailer. What a great opportunity for getting our youth excited about #skilledtrades!
