Thank you to the Edmonton Journal for posting my opinion article. I’m a believer in Alberta and the opportunity for the growth of aviation and aerospace in our province. As you can read from the article, I’m also a believer in Elevate Aviation and our Elevate Aviation Learning Centre and the important work being done to increase the sustainability of our workforce. As a side note, the Journal added a photo of me they had on file from 2016 which took me back in time. In one way I can’t believe it’s been that long that I have been working in this space, and another way - it seems like yesterday. Time seems to be passing way too fast! 😊 https://lnkd.in/gDyiZqrD
