Mining program helps Aboriginals

Aboriginal students in Northwestern Ontario are learning the ropes of the mining industry. It comes in the form of a school program backed by the industry and Cambrian College. Jonathan Kakegemic is the Principal at Cromarty High School in the city and thinks it's exciting. He says it gives Aboriginal students an incentive to continue their education once they see the program is directed towards them. 175 students are enrolled in the program at the school.
