Parkwood Southlands partnered with School District 60 Peace River North to give sixteen senior high school students the opportunity to learn about and operate many kinds of heavy equipment. Under the close supervision of qualified operators, students received hands-on training with excavators, dozers, packers, graders and rock trucks while performing real work, stripping organics down to sub-grade, hauling clay fill and compacting it to build up The Hub at Parkwood Block Lot 1.
