It has been a while since I have had a chance to write for the BLOG. So many things have happened since I last wrote.

In early December, I flew to Abbottsford, BC to attend a large Career and Education Fair. SAIT is pretty popular in this BC town. I spoke with over 120 prospective students!

After the event, I had to hustle to the airport and catch a flight to Victoria. I was traveling with a recruiter from Alberta College of Art and Design and we had booked a flight together. When we arrived at the airport, we discovered the airline had gone out of business months earlier! After many frantic phone calls we were on our way.

We ended up driving to Vancouver and flying out with Air Canada a couple hours later. I had a pleasant surprise when I found out my travel companion had an Elite membership so we were able to relax in the airlines private lounge.

Victoria’s career fair was a little quieter for SAIT but still an overall success. Quite a few inquiries about the Paramedic program and other health careers.

The best thing about Victoria is the accommodations! We had an awesome deal at The Empress so I got to relax there for three nights. I spent loads of money shopping while I was visiting Victoria.

I got home from BC on December 5th. I had a short visit with my husband then took off for Whitehorse, YK.

The weather was incredible! The amount of snow on the ground was amazing and I thouroughly enjoyed my time in the Yukon. SAIT was surprisingly popular, with over 120 prospective students coming by to visit.

Next week I will be on the road for the last week of ELAA. It is an exciting time, since it means Christmas is close. It is also makes me a little melancholy. In a job like this, you spend more time with recruiters from other institutions then you do with your own co-workers in the office. The thought of not seeing many of them until February makes me a little sad.

Happy Holidays!
