Two students from Caledonia Senior Secondary School have each received cheques for $1,000 to assist them in their apprenticeship programs.
Bedard is currently working with Technicon Industries in carpentry and Turner is attending Northwest Community College and working with Acadia Northwest Mechanical in sheet metal.
Career counselor Mike Jones presented the money to Nolan Bedard and Brenden Turner, both of whom graduated last year and are apprentices in a trades program.
