Testimonial~Brian Andres, Technology Department Head, Bishop Macdonell CHS

"I just wanted to extend a thank you to the Guelph Home Builders' Association for sponsoring a booth at the Career Pathways event.  Your sponsorship enables grade 8 students to attend this event and more specifically, it gives the Wellington Catholic District School Board an opportunity to promote our Specialist High Skills Major Construction Program.  Grade 8 students have an opportunity to discuss careers relating to construction.  Your support and contribution in this way has made a significant impact and it is greatly appreciated!"
