"Heating Up: Special Earth Day Webinar" is scheduled for April 22nd from 7:30-8:30 PM EST/4:30-5:30 PM PST. The webinar will cover what to expect this summer across North America, how to protect yourself and those around you, and what your rights are at work.
Ryan is a Journeyman Electrician for Chinook School Division in Southwest Saskatchewan. Encouraged to become an electrician by his father, he has been working in the electrical trade for 17 years. Ryan’s job is to fix electrical issues in the schools including lights, plugs, and appliances to ensure they are safe for the students and staff to use. He loves that he is able to travel as part of his job because he’s able to interact with each school community.
With the COVID-19 protocols, they need to check in more and wear masks. Ryan and his team have had adequate supplies of PPE and the team is feeling alright; it’s business as usual, but they are all ready for masks to be done with. It’s been a long road.
Ryan, we can't thank you and your team enough for being there for our children in these uncertain times. The work you do is incredible and you make a huge difference in the learning environment.
