Highlights of our 2015 Spring Technical School

MONTREAL WAS A HIT!!!

We don’t like to brag, but we will anyway. The Quebec Chapter encouraged (hounded) us to take the national school to Montreal. The chapter had been so successful in offering local education, we just couldn’t turn them down. And we’re glad we didn’t.

To help us get past the fact that our skids hadn’t arrived from Toronto with all our samples, we decided to drown our sorrows at a Student Appreciation Night. DHI Canada provided the refreshments and the students/instructors provided the camaraderie. What better way to start a weeklong school at a great hotel, in an exciting city with another record-breaking attendance. To add to the overall success, the Quebec Chapter hosted a dinner meeting on Wednesday evening with strong attendance by instructors and students.

As always, there were some exciting additions at the school….

EHC410 was available for the first time in several years with 9 anxious students jumping on board in preparation for their EHC exam
We welcomed first time instructor Stephane Gauthier and Sebastian Dubois, FDAI, was elevated from DAI600 candidate instructor to an official instructor
Keith Pardoe, DAHC/CDC/FDAI was a welcome addition to the instructor pool and, although he hails from south of the border, he’s now fully qualified to instruct Canadian Codes

Now a big thank you to all who made it possible.
