Re: Sault College Hangar Construction?

Yeah 2 of the Zlins will probably be retired in the next month or two, they are planning on keeping a few zlins for emt training. As for the hanger they are making the old hanger a maintenance hanger and the new one will be the primary one with dispatch and all that stuff.

Re: Sault College

im reading in this info sheet that sault sent me and it says if a stay an extra year ( so for 4 years) you can get a degree out of this program, Is it worth the extra year? How beneficial will a degree be over a diploma for getting jobs or is it mostly based on hours.
