IST HELPS LOCAL HIGH SCHOOLS BUILD A FUTURE

Industrial Safety Trainers Inc. and our friends at Northern Safety in Barrie were able to provide Mark Gelinas from Eastview Secondary School with the necessary tools to allow the students to safely work on various construction projects as part of their volunteer community hours commitment. 

Students will be working on projects with Habitat for Humanity, park clean up and maintenance, and assisting with various construction projects within the community. 

All of us at IST are committed to the education of our youth and as training providers for the WSIB's Young Worker
Awareness Program, we are excited to be able to help these
students. 

If anyone is looking for some help on small construction projects, you can contact Marc Gelinas at 705-828-0369 or mgelinas@mail.scdsb.on.ca
