Building Careers
From the Ground Up
Twenty-three students (20 boys, 3 girls) in the Specialist
High Skills Major program, Building Careers From the Ground
Up, took part in an exciting event on November 5. The students
and teachers stood beaming on the ramp of the new Haida’s
Cutter Pavilion. They had worked diligently during the last
6 weeks to complete the 36’ by 18’ addition that now houses
the viewing gallery for the restored cutter, ticket kiosk,
gift shop and working office for the director of the Friends
of the Haida . The new addition is to house the 'motor cutter'
which is a replica of the one used to save many lives aboard
the Haida's sister ship, the "Athabaskan". The building
was built from the foundation up to the shingles, electrical
wiring, insulation, drywall, trim and exterior decks and landings.
Although most of the students had spent at least one week
working at the site, not one of them who signed on for the
building construction program last spring had any idea in
September that they would be working around a valuable national
historic artifact and expecting a special dignitary to mark
the opening. Yet here they were, on a blustery day, smiling,
sporting new sweatshirts and hardhats supplied by the Ontario
Youth Apprenticeship Program, and ready to shake hands with
the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall. As the Prince
walked up the ramp, HRH took the time to speak to each of
the teachers and students and to offer congratulations. For
both teachers and students this was a very proud moment and
one not soon forgotten.
On this rainy day, these students experienced not only the
satisfaction of a job well done, but also the connection to
the larger Hamilton community and its history This was a moment
to revel in accomplishment but also to feel the purpose and
meaning of a building to its community. Under temperamental
weather conditions, amidst all of the pomp and circumstance
and veterans reminding us to wear poppies over the heart,
it was for these students and their teachers a day of celebration,
remembrance and gratitude.
