Working with Touchwood Agency Tribal Council and the First Nations of Day Star, Fishing Lake, Kawacatoose, George Gordon, and Muskowekwan, Carlton Trail College was pleased to deliver a unique Pathways to Water and Wastewater Careers program to interested individuals this spring. Over nine weeks, participants received specialized training in safe municipal and community waterworks operations.

Through a combination of classroom instruction and hands-on learning, individuals gained valuable safety certifications and practical experience, preparing them for careers in water and wastewater management. The program supported both personal growth and community capacity, contributing to long-term sustainability as well as community health.

This initiative reflected a strong partnership and shared commitment to empowering Indigenous communities through education and workforce development. Carlton Trail College is proud to have played a role in supporting these outcomes and the dedicated individuals who completed the program.
