Jonathan, 24 years old, did not expect the change that occurred by attending the Nak’azdli Bladerunners program. He actually joined to appease his parents but soon learned valuable life lessons. He moved himself forward by getting out of the house daily, limiting his time playing video games – and did not miss one class. Jon, was 100% dedicated and was a role model to other participants by making positive life choices. He is now employed in the forest sector and says he is extremely happy.

Clayton Tom is 17 and has thrived in the active work related component of the BladerRunners program. After completing the foundation portion of his training, he obtained even more certificates that he can now add to the ones he already had received in other training camps. As a result of obtaining his Flagging Person certificate, he is now working shifts flagging in the Burns Lake area. He hopes to finish his grade 12 and find fulltime work in local industry. He also wants to complete his Level 3 First Aid.
