Haldimand County, in partnership with City School by Mohawk, will be providing a free Landscape Construction course to community members 19+ with little to no post-secondary education this summer in Caledonia.
In the Landscape Construction course, Introduction to Decks & Fences, students will learn basic construction techniques to build projects relating to landscape construction including:
- Learning how to interpret drawings;
- Learning how to read a bill of materials and build projects of varying sizes and complexity;
- Select appropriate tools and fasteners aligning with project requirements;
- Develop skills to support the construction of decks and fences on a smaller scale to serve as an introduction to the trade; and
- Explore landscape construction as a potential career.
This program will run from May 13 to June 13, 2024 from 3:00 pm -7:00 pm every Monday, Tuesday & Thursday in the City School mobile classroom in the parking lot at the Haldimand Caledonia Community Centre (HCCC) (100 Haddington St.).
