Local Sustainability with a Career Lens
Stelly’s Secondary School staff took approximately 40 students on a tour of the Saanich Peninsula, organized by the BC Agriculture in the Classroom (BCAITC) team. The tour included visits to Sandown, Camosun Culinary Arts, and the Saanich Fairgrounds, providing students with insights into local agriculture and food careers.
They observed the Camosun Culinary Arts program in full production, engaged in discussions with industry experts, and explored workplace expectations, employment opportunities, and career paths in the professional cooking trade. Additionally, students toured the Sandown Centre for Regenerative Agriculture at the Saanich Fairgrounds and participated in a Network Cafe, where they met and conversed with professionals from various sectors of agriculture and food.
