There is a new application process for the forklift and first-aid courses offered by CTI. Applicants now have to fill out an application form online. This includes also attaching a proof of income since low-income candidates have priority. The application is on the same document as the CTI application here, or they can pick one up at security. From the Editor Another three weeks have blown by here at the CTI Program - and has it ever been a chilly one! Thanks again to the students and staff for their patience and understanding during the (multiple) re-bookings of the Forklift course. I’m glad that we could finally get a break in the weather to complete the driving portion, and from what I’ve heard from Alex, things went exceptionally well. This month we had an excellent graduating class of thirteen individuals, your hard work, open minds and persistence has been appreciated over the past few weeks. This course is a big commitment and a lot of information to take in all at once. Whether it was gaining some additional certifications, taking a different outlook on life or wrestling with computers, by completing this course you have proven that you have what it takes to reach your goals. To Jess, Daniel, William, Clive, Danny, Dennis, David, Randy, Doug, Steve, Rob, Jim and Tara congratulations and best of luck! Also, remember to keep in touch and if there is anything we can help you with in the future just let us know. Applications can be found here, or on the main floor of the DI at the security desk.

February 2011 www.theDI.ca/CTI From the Guest Speaker Guest Speaker Thank you Rudy for coming to speak to our CTI graduates this month. Page 3 Wild Rose Art Studio Come try your creative talent at the Wild Rose Art Studio! To provide a safe and peaceful environment for creative exploration, art.works opened the Wild Rose Studio. Hours of operation: Monday to Friday (9 am to 6pm) – 6th floor of the DI The Studio is a client supervised area, and as such, unique amongst the DI programs. Client volunteers oversee the daily operations of the studio as well as provide input into how to improve the art program. The Studio has provided a creative outlet for many client artists to express themselves through the arts. He had a fantastic speech about life’s struggles and the opportunities we have to re-try. Rudy was able to relate life to Shakespeare’s plays. In theatre, actors can make mis-takes when they make an error. Mistakes are also common to every one of our lives, and on the stage of life, we have to realize that these are just mis-takes. We have the ability to retry and re-take in life. We should not be caught up in the wrongs of the past. Instead we should look forward to learning and moving toward to a brighter and better future. So thank you Rudy for your words of encouragement and hope for future that can learn to be better from the mistakes of the past.
