industrial arts workshop. Director Tim Tarala, then the manager of Beeland Co-op, human resources manager with Northern Steel Industries and a grade ten student in the programme told of each of their parts in this collaboration and what they hoped to see it produce. Mr. Tarala explained the  need for the Division to work closely with the elements of the community
to forge a better mesh between education and the rapid development of industry in
the community.Northern Steel Industries explained that in these difficult agricultural times this local manufacturer is doing $40 million dollars business with its Tanks soon to appear in a movie in southern California, perched in the arctic wastes of Alaska, providing environmentally friendly storage in eastern Ontario and all the while over 130 workers produce a product admired in all market places. The company is in a constant and growing need for industrial workers and a welding programme in the local high school is a good step forward as well as work experience students from both Tisdale and Arborfield exploring the work first hand. To officially open the well equipped section of the workshop the class instructor explained that instead of cutting a ribbon a student would weld a sign proclaiming the opening of the project (top of page) |
