A Heavy Equipment Operator course is underway at Standing Buffalo Dakota First Nation. It’s part of a three-year agreement between Parkland College, CP Rail, and several First Nations bands in the Parkland region. Twelve students are enrolled from seven different First Nations. By the end of June, the students will have earned several safety tickets, Assiniboine Community College accredited operator training, and employment readiness skills. As part of their training, the students are preparing grounds behind the community’s school to start the development of an outdoor track.
