-
Develop training plans for Aboriginal communities to participate in the clean-up of contaminated sites

Pilot Project to Develop Contaminated Sites Training Programs in Aboriginal Communities
ECO Canada and the BEAHR project will be conducting contaminated sites training pilot projects across Canada between March 2010 and February 2011. The pilot projects will assess the need for contaminated sites training in various regions and then assist with the implementation of programs to train contaminated sites practitioners in Aboriginal communities.
If you work in the contaminated sites industry, are a training/employment coordinator, or wish to host a training program in your community, contact us to participate. By participating, your company or community may benefit from a contaminated sites training program.
To participate, or to find out more about this project, send an email to consites@eco.ca or call (403) 233-0748.
