I learned to embrace who I am and incorporate that into every ounce of my being. Whether it’s parenting, studying or working, I learned the importance of Indigenizing my process.

There aren’t many jobs where you can be outdoors 90 percent of your time and see different places. I’ve gotten to experience some absolutely beautiful places in B.C. that most people wouldn’t even consider going to because they are that remote, or just areas that aren’t on the general horizon of the public. I work with a helicopter quite a bit, and that’s awesome. You can’t beat that.

Luke Friesen

Natural Resources and Forest Technology Graduate

Many of the classes I’m taking have students going many different routes such as dental hygiene or associate of science. A small group of close friends that I have made in the program have been an amazing support throughout my time here.
