“As a displaced Abitibi Bowater Paper Mill employee, it was a great relief to be able to participate in the BTG program. As the closure of the mill left me with a very uncertain future, which now seems to be a lot brighter than ever before. It’s been a very enjoyable experience learning new skills for future employment with Newfoundland and Labrador Vegetation Control Ltd. I would like to say thanks to everybody involved in organizing this plan of action to get people like me back to work in Newfoundland and not end up like someone who ‘fell through the cracks of the system’. ” – Training Participant
“BTG gave me the skills to become more involved in my community. It was a chance to be home and working. Each morning when I got up, I had the feeling like I had a new life” -Training Participant
