Fantastic tour and visit with Suzanne, Donna and Cathie at First Nations Technical Institute and Jo-Anne, the Dean of Aviation. FNTI offers the only post-secondary Indigenous aviation program of its kind in Canada. Last February, a fire devastated the heart of the campus, forcing the program to pause temporarily.
Replacing such a massive loss takes time, and I can’t wait to see the final 50,000-square-foot net-zero building. However, in the meantime, the aviation community rallied around the school, so they were able to bring students back—an excellent local school with a remarkable story of community and hope.
