Prince George, B.C. – A dozen Career Technical Centre (CTC) students at the College of New Caledonia have made their contribution to the upcoming Canada Winter Games.

They’ve done so by building 12 pine medal presentation trays and 23 eco-friendly bins.

“The students this year, as with past classes, have produced some excellent projects for themselves and community organizations,” said CTC carpentry/joinery instructor Ross Pullan. “It has been my pleasure to instruct and often strike a creative spark with students as they discover the joy of working with a natural product for profit or home use.”

Brink Forest Products donated the wood to build the bins which will be placed throughout various venues where they will remain or be redistributed after the Games.

CTC comprises grade 11 and 12 students from school districts 57 and 91 who want to complete their first year of trades technical training. The students celebrated their graduation from the program at the end of January.
