Latest Update April 16th

Hello Carpenters,

Unfortunately, the latest official word is that the in class portion of our course will not be able to reconvene until at least August 4th.  Since I doubt that date would work for anyone, I'm currently looking into whether we could finish up in the fall.  Not asking for a commitment yet, but if any of you know already that you could not finish up in the fall, please email me now at the address I gave you in class.  Second, I wanted to explore the idea of getting you into work placements this summer. It would be a bit premature, since you haven't completed the in-class yet, but it would be a great way to get the placements done and out of the way while we have the chance.  I know of some possible placements that could be underway even right now - on still-running essential jobs in rural settings.  If any of you would have strong objects to that, please let me know by email.  Again, all of this is still very tentative and I'm still working all of this out with the administration in North Bay, but I wanted to check in with you for now. Please shoot me an email,
Thanks!

Another Corona Update

Hello Carpenters,

The latest official word is that our program is still "on hold".   I'm optimistic that the college will re-open in time for us just to pick up where we left off and complete the program this year.  The latest word from the province is that public schools will remain closed until at least May 4th, and I think it's unlikely that Canadore would re-open before then.  Obviously whatever is going to happen will happen, and there's not a lot of control that any of us have over that.  The best we can do is respond when it does. 


Hope you are all keeping safe, and in the meantime, Teddy has helpfully found our first project for when we do resume:
