Dear Editor,
The Grade 9 students at Whistler Waldorf School would like to send a special thank you to the local businesses that provided amazing work experience opportunities for us the last few weeks: Whistler Alpine Guides Bureau, Extremely Canadian, the RMOW IT department and RTown Communications.
Over the past week, the Grade 9 students at the Whistler Waldorf School were granted the opportunity of going to a company or an organization for a week of work experience. All the students covered a vast array of jobs.
One of the students joined Whistler Alpine Guides Bureau in an avalanche skills training course program. Thank you to Andrea de Vries at Whistler Alpine Guides Bureau and a special thanks to the course instructors for providing this opportunity. Extremely Canadian also volunteered to take a student under their wing, providing him with an amazing introduction to the world of ski instruction. That student would like to thank Jill Dunnigan for this. Two of the students joined forces with Kelly Blunden at the Resort Municipality of Whistler; both students were provided with IT experience and knowledge and they would like to thank Kelly and everyone else who made this possible. Lastly, we would like to thank RTown for showing and teaching one of the students the art of videography. This student would like to thank Jackie Bissillion and Micheal Bruno for making all this possible.
From all of us in Grade 9 at Whistler Waldorf School, thank you for providing us with these brilliant experiences.
Justen Bruns
