Commercial Diving students settling nicely into new location in Marine Training Centre

  • Published 03/23/2010

People driving to work in Summerside early in the morning may wonder about the identities of the group of young men they see running on the boardwalk along Water Street. They seemed to appear mysteriously, early in the New Year. In fact, the 12 young men are students in Holland College’s Commercial Diving program, which recently relocated from Georgetown to the Marine Training Centre in Summerside.         

The students are settling nicely into their new location. The move to the Marine Training Centre was necessary because the space the program was using in Georgetown was needed for the Plumbing,  Steamfitting/Pipefitting, and Welding Fabrication programs, and more space was required to make room for the introduction of the Iron Worker program next fall.

Why Join CADC? What's in it for a member?

As with everything, the bottom line in any joining ANY organization is - why join? (which translates more into "What’s in it for me?" )
As CADC grows across Canada we need to look closely at our role in the industry to insure that we have a distinct advantage over non-member companies. It is not enough to better the safety of the industry, we must also improve the credibility and expertise of member companies products and services.
