Seth originally applied for a job at the Youth Centre, but ended up trying out TFN’s summer student placement program, offered through the department of Culture and Education. “I received a job in Fisheries and I’m happy with it,” says Seth. “I applied to gain valuable work experience and I’ve learned how Natural Resources does patrols on land and on water and how they cook crab.” Seth says he’s also been able to “I don’t necessarily think this summer job affects my choices for the learn about the cultural part of the future. I look at it as a way to gain knowledge in general. I aspire to Natural Resources department and work with kids or in therapy in the future.” how it relates to fishing and conservation.
