Camosun College was kind enough to lend their Fine Furniture Department again to host this event. Our gust speakers included the North American Technical Sales Representative for Milesi Wood Coatings, Joseph Pilon as well as the Canadian Technical Sales Representative for Sia Abrasives, Venessa Baker. Both Joe and Venessa bring many years of knowledge and experience to the table and were able to share their tips, tricks and product knowledge with the class.

Columbia Industrial Supplies is a proud supporter of the woodworking program at Camosun College. Typically we spend a day with students developing colours and helping them understand the process of how to achieve the desired finish. With current restrictions and guidelines we were unable to do so this year. Materials were donated from Columbia Industrial Supplies and the students have been hard at work!
