“I would encourage anybody to come down here because if I could plow through the barriers that I did and succeed in the program, anyone can.”
Richard Chisel – Pathway to Engineering Technology Programs
“My experience at RRC Polytech has been nothing short of amazing. I met a lot of beautiful people, string people with amazing ideas whom I can’t wait to see blossom in the community. For me, it’s been very supportive.”
Sean Rayland – Social Innovation and Community Development
“I always wanted to open my own restaurant. I attended Culinary Skills (Indigenous) so I could learn the techniques while making connections. What I didn’t expect was the Indigenous Support Centre to be so vital.”
Sharnell McDougall – Culinary Skills (Indigenous)
