We would like to extend a special thank you to Seneca Polytechnic Alumni for making it possible for this eager group of students to attend the SFPE Southern Ontario event on Wildland Fire, with Ken Cox giving an entertaining seminar! The discussion hit home for the Seneca Polytechnic pillars of education. The impact of EDI and Truth and Reconciliation were highlighted as we heard about the techniques used by Indigenous populations for centuries to support the lands. Sustainability was considered in the discussion on determining if a fire should be allowed to burn. Hearing how fire is necessary for many wildlife habitats was a unique perspective we forget. The importance of Human Skills like Collaboration and Communication were mentioned when working with local fire departments or when support comes from other provinces or even countries like Mexico! Of course critical thinking and problem solving are vital when every situation develops quickly and uniquely. Even flexible technology was used to deliver the presentation and discussions on technology's benefit to their daily tasks also was noted. We were #senecaproud to be in attendance with so many successful alumni and seeing our current students interacting with them before, during, and after. Thank you again Seneca Alumni for making it a possibility.

Our Fall 2024 Orientation was another great success! This year's event was packed with engaging activities that showcased our commitment to flexible hands-on learning and team-building between students and staff. Participants enjoyed live fire demonstrations, dynamic exercises, and a great Q&A session with staff and senior student volunteers. The energy and enthusiasm from everyone involved made for a memorable day. A special thank you to Troy Life & Fire Safety Ltd. for their support and contributions with this session. Great to have Jay, Jess and Connor on hand to share their experiences also. If you are interested in exploring similar collaborations or have ideas for future sessions, please reach out to Scott Pugsley. We are always excited to discuss new opportunities! 🌐🤝 Seneca Polytechnic, Canada's only School of Fire Protection Engineering Technology #LearnItLiveIt
