The glamorous life

This has been one of the craziest weeks of recruitment I have ever experienced. In the past five days we had:

- A car catch fire
- Speeding ticket(s)
- Parking tickets
- Flat tires
- Performance anxiety
- Car thefts

The strangest event of the week happened when a fast food outlet called the police because they thought our recruitment displays were actually weapons. After explaining to the police they were just our displays, everybody had a big laugh.

This was my first time in the Grande Prairie area. I visited high schools in Whitecourt, Slave Lake, Valleyview, High Prairie, Donnelly and Fairview. The students in this area were great and really interested in the kind of programs SAIT offers.

While in Fairview, I visited one of the cutest restaurants. Grassroots Bistro was absolutely amazing and by far the best food I ate this whole week. If you are ever in the area check it out, it was so worth it.

While in Grande Prairie I had a chance to try a Grapple. It looks like an apple, but tastes like a grape. To be honest it tasted like an apple that had soaked in grape juice for a few months and was kind of gross.


(enjoying the Grapple)

I will be visiting some schools in the Lethbridge area next week. Keep your eyes open for me.
