Gerald Jerome, a Welding instructor at NLC, presented Kole Sloane with a welding tool bag donated by BC Hydro Construction Services, Prince George – Welding Division (Hudson’s Hope).

Sloane was selected to receive the award by the instructors in the Welding department. The instructors agreed that Sloane’s positive personality, attendance, and consistently above-average marks on practical and theoretical assignments qualified him for this useful award.

The tool bag, which was provided by Linde Canada in Fort St. John, has a value of $350. It was donated to NLC by BC Hydro as a thank you to the College’s Welding department for assistance provided on many occasions.

Sloane, who attended NLC as a Dual Credit student, is finishing Grade 12 this year, and plans to pursue a welding career upon graduation.
