Schedule
The Class of 2012 will meet eight times over 7 months. The monthly meeting format ensures that learners have the chance to absorb, process, and practice the new skills and knowledge they acquire on each day before proceeding to the next one.
Program days are held across the West Yellowhead region, allowing participants to have the opportunity to see and experience their neighbouring communities – Edson, Grande Cache, Hinton, Jasper, Woodlands and Yellowhead Counties.
