Through Douglas College, students learn math and English skills, Surrey Public Library teaches computer, research and and job search skills, and chefs from the Sheraton Hotel Guildford and Villa Verde will provide work for graduates.This article rightly emphasises the hard work done by Chef Andrew and all of his students. Congratulations everyone, you certainly deserve this recognition.
Eventually, George wants Kla-how-eya to open a standalone restaurant to showcase his students' talents.
The admiration, it seems, is mutual.
"This program is sweet," says Steve Blackwater, who grew tired of working as a cook for 12 years and not getting paid well.
"I want a lot more responsibility," he says, adding he'd like to open his own restaurant in Prince Rupert.
Bonnie Stanley plans to run a catering business in Kincolith, in Nisga'a territory.
Stanley -who admits she had a difficult childhood - says she finds the supportive, caring atmosphere at Kla-how-eya healing.
As Stanley tidies up the spotless work area, Blackwater carries containers of smooth sauces to the fridge and Jason Skoda turns on the large stainless steel fan while flipping grilled cheese, George proudly surveys the bustling scene.
With his friendly, down-to-earth demeanour and an easy smile, his gentle personality belies a career that for many, would only serve to inflate the ego.
George however, prefers to simply serve.
