1 week down

I can’t believe the first week of our recruitment cycle is already over! It started off with the annual Professional Development Conference, hosted at Panorama, in beautiful British Columbia. From there, we headed into the Kootenay region traveling over 1500 kms and visiting eight schools.

It is always so rewarding to see the interest and excitement high school students express about SAIT. With the hospitality industry being popular in this region, I had a lot of interest in Professional Cooking, Baking and Pastry Arts and Hospitality Management.

During the trip, I was lucky enough to stay in some great places, such The Kicking Horse in Golden. I also had some delicious food at Fusion, located in scenic Nelson.

Traveling through the Kootenays during the fall is absolutely beautiful. However, we always had to watch for wildlife. I was fortunate to see deer, coyote, moose and bighorn sheep. On our way into Castlegar we were lucky enough to see two brown cubs hanging in a tree. You would never think to look for wildlife in a tree top!



I am back on the road next week traveling to northwestern Alberta. Check out what schools I am visiting in the “Meet Allison and Michelle” column.
