CHSS Co-op breakfast touts successes of program
Central Huron Secondary School’s
once-per-semester co-op appre-
ciation breakfast last week
highlighted the importance and
impact of the program with students.
On June 12, Shane Taylor and
Terry Zachar, teachers in charge of
the program, welcomed co-op
students and employers to the
school, highlighting the needs and
benefits of the program.
Taylor thanked the co-op
providers, saying that the students
receive truly beneficial experiences
through the program. He explained
that, when he talks to his fellow
teachers from larger city centres at
conferences, they’re constantly
surprised by the breadth and quality
of the co-op providers in Huron
County, as well as the fact that many
of the students find employment
through the program.
He said that the 40 different
companies providing co-op
opportunities are like 40 extra
teachers in the area, providing
unique learning experiences. The
whole system, he said, proves it
takes a village to educate students.
Taylor also pointed out that the co-
op program offers a unique
experience for students who often
flourish when they leave school and
find a permanent position in a trade
or workplace.
“When they get out there, and they
are one-on-one with an adult, they
act appropriately and do the job and
learn,” he said. “The program offers
a great chance for students to get out
of the school and do real, hands-on
work.”
This year, there were more
companies seeking co-op students
than ever before, Taylor said, and he
anticipates that’s thanks in part to the
quality of the program at Central
Huron Secondary School and partly
because of low unemployment rates.
Locally, businesses like Howson
and Howson/Millstone Crop
Services, Huron Tractor and Elligson
Electric took on co-op students,
many of whom came from the area.
Garrett Van Dieten, store manager
at Huron Tractor, said the co-op
program is a great asset for the
school and for the business. “We’ve
been doing it for a long time, maybe
as long as there has been a co-op
program,” he said.
Van Dieten explained to The
Citizen that co-op placements at
Huron Tractor usually attract
students with a farming background
and they often turn out to be
fantastic workers.
“These young farm kids come in
and work as technicians for us and,
usually, they’ve got some experience
working on their own equipment in
the shed,” he said. “Some of them
need some hand-holding, but for the
most part, they work safe and hard.”
The proof of the success of the
program is easy to see in the Huron
Tractor Blyth location Van Dieten
said, because their last three co-op
students are now apprentices there.
“We definitely plan on continued
participation,” he said. “We
generally have enough work for one
student and one semester, but we do
get a lot of requests.”
Van Dieten said he hopes, in the
future, to reach out to younger
students through visiting high
schools and encouraging students to
not only participate in the co-op
program, but keep Huron Tractor in
mind when they do.
Ashley Falconer, a Blyth student,
had a co-op placement with a music
teacher at Clinton Public School, a
stepping stone towards her future in
community health.
Falconer said she was looking for
a placement focused on music, but
when it didn’t work out, she worked
in the music program at the public
school.
Her responsibilities, she said, were
similar to that of an educational
assistant when she was helping in
the classroom, but offered her a great
chance to work with musically-
inclined students through the
primary choir and music classes for
senior students, including some who
were getting ready to try out for
bands.
The experience helped her decide
on her future. Next year, she will be
pursuing a double major at Wilfrid
Laurier University, studying
Indigenous studies and community
health, as well as aiming for a minor
in music.

‘Citizen’ honoured nationally
Rural Voice Editor Lisa B. Pot and
The Citizen have been honoured by
News Media Canada with a
Canadian Community Newspaper
Award.
Pot’s story about the Blyth
Festival production of The Pigeon
King was published in The Citizen’s
annual agricultural issue last year. It
outlined Arlan Galbraith’s Pigeon
King International scheme and how
it was still too “close to the bone”
for some to discuss.
The story placed third in the Best
Agricultural Story category,
finishing behind Jordan Ross’ piece
in The Carillon in Steinbach,
Manitoba, “Restored barn a link for
East and West Reserves” and Barb
McKay’s “Eliminating supply
management would spell the end of
the family farm” for The Kincardine
Independent.
The category was open to
newspapers of all circulation
classes, meaning The Citizen was up
against newspapers with circulation
of over 25,000, over 12 times
The Citizen’s circulation of
approximately 2,000.
The Citizen has been honoured
recently at the national level by
News Media Canada, formerly the
Canadian Community Newspapers
Association, most notably as the
best and second-best newspaper in
its circulation class. Its front page
and editorial page have also
been honoured nationally in
recent years.

A great learning experience

Blyth, get hands-on experience through the program. The
businesses, according to Huron Tractor representative
Garrett Van Dieten, not shown, find a constant source of
potential apprentices who are eager to work and ready to
learn. (Denny Scott photo)
