By Rosalind Russell – A group of students completed a summer program in home improvement and maintenance course through Cambrian College’s Espanola site.

Cambrian has specially outfitted trades trailers on site to teach students a variety of skills such as home construction, and basic electrical and plumbing installations says instructor Henry Girard.

He says the class not only constructed a bathroom, but they also built a full practice wall with window for the Espanola Volunteer Fire Department to use for training purposes.

The program receives supports from local businesses including supplies donated by Espanola Home Hardware.
