Aboriginal Awareness Training

So....I took advantage of my Day shift at EMS and took a City run "Aboriginal Awareness " course. This was taught by an Adrian Goulet (No relation to Robert). It was held at #26 Stn's board room in the CPS Section. It was very interesting, they sent out a precourse quiz that got me into the internet to find the answers. (I think I was the only one that did it!). He started out with a song and a drum routine...then showed us a few artifacts, and a video about residential schools that was very powerful. His wife had baked us some bannock....and showed up later with their baby daughter. I quite enjoyed it and hope they come up with a "part 2" soon.

I felt quite privileged that I actually got paid to go as well as having the tuition paid. Hmmm...I wonder if there is more courses out there like that!?
