Shane's work coop program has been getting a lot of press lately. In fact both of us were on CBC's The National last week. Here's the link to read the CBC article, and you can click on the video as well:

We are all so proud of Shane. He expressed himself very well.
The program has done a lot to build his confidence. He really loves working with the dogs, he has had the chance to demonstrate his strong work ethic, and develop his organization skills, all in a safe environment since the program is run out of the school. Now the teachers have had a chance to see some of the skills and abilities that I see at home!
A big thank you to West Credit Secondary School, and the principal, Ms Sheahan, for building this program. It took courage and drive to make it happen. Shane's eyes have been opened to potential career paths working with animals, and he wants to apply for a summer job in a pet store.
