SCHOLARSHIPS AWARDS & PRIZES

 

Our Graduates Say it Best!

Maritime College of Forest Technology gave me many things: The time to focus on learning and soak up as much forestry knowledge as I could possibly jam into my brain; a foundation of technical forestry skills that I successfully use in my work; and my belief in an honest work ethic.

Gareth Davis, Perth-Andover, NB


Attending Maritime College of Forest Technology opened doors and
opportunities that would never have been opened. I was given the tools to build a career and a life. I not only learned about forestry; I learned life
lessons and work ethics that I¹ll keep forever. The instructors are of the
highest calibre and will go out of their way to help you!

Wayne Van Dijk, Department of Natural Resources and Energy
