Walk and Roll! – Yorkton initiative takes roots
FROM CLASSROOM TO THE WORKFORCE – Sacred Heart High School’s Welding 30 class recently took part in a work placement from. Students had the opportunity to spend one week at both Leon’s Manufacturing and Ram Industries in Yorkton. While there they got to see what job opportunities may be available to them. Participants were busy learning about the local businesses, prepping metal and welding projects such as hydraulic cylinders at Ram Industries and dozer blades at Leon’s Manufacturing. “This allows students the opportunity to see first-hand if a career in the trades is for them,” says welding teacher Curtis Moen. “These students have spent over 400 hours welding coupons and projects at school, but now have the chance to transition those skills into the workforce. It helps them to gain work experience which they can add to their resume and a chance at a possible employment position with these companies. “There is a huge shortage in the trades and hopefully this is a way to retain these welders in our community. I have been doing work placements with my welding classes for the past six years which has led to many careers in either welding or millwright positions.” Moen sends out a big thank you to both companies for their support. Above, student Austin Varga hones his skills in a practical work setting.
It started in Yorkton and now with the province’s support, the concept is spreading. For the third year in a row, the Government of Saskatchewan proclaimed the first Wednesday in June “Walk and Roll” day – across the province. “Walk and Roll” day encourages citizens to get out and be active in ways that steer clear of automotive transportation. A concept formed eight years ago by Yorkton Regional High School (YRHS) staff and students, the day is sparking a province-wide trend. “A few years ago, some of our staff noticed that our school parking lot was always full, overflowing with cars, trucks, old beaters, you name it,” Yorkton Physical Education teacher and Student Representative Council Co-ordinator Roby Sharpe says. “To encourage physical activity, some of the staff and I decided to start walking or biking to school. Before we knew it, our students were doing the same. We couldn’t be happier with the way this concept is catching on.” And catching on it is. Although the idea of “Walk and Roll” day originated at the Yorkton Regional High School, the concept has spread to communities across the province. Participation has been reported in various schools within the Good Spirit School Division, as well as in more distant communities such as Weyburn, Regina and as far north as Creighton. In an effort to further encourage physical activity, the YRHS wants to proclaim the day nationwide. Earlier this year, staff and students sent a proclamation to Ottawa asking that the day be enacted from coast to coast. Although this request has yet to be accepted, students and staff are hopeful and remain eager to see the day continue to spread within the province. “We’re very pleased to continue with the tradition of ‘Walk and Roll’ day,” Yorkton Regional High School Principal Mike Haczkewicz comments. “It’s a fantastic way for our school to encourage physical activity in our youth and our communities. Finding a healthy way to get to school for one day a year is the catalyst that some may need to get active on a regular basis.”
