Partnership Renewed


Fort Frances High School has some new shop equipment resulting from a partnership between the Rainy River District School Board and Confederation College.

It was obtained by the College with a $130-thousand provincial grant.

President Pat Lang says it helps the high school and provides the College with a chance to offer new programming through its Rainy River campus.

"It supports the School-College work initiative," says Lang. "It supported a construction program, a multi-skills program and it supports trades and technology."

College and School Board officials also joined yesterday at the high school to reconfirm a long-standing partnership between the two.
