Outdoor Careers in the Kootenays -- Dave Quinn

Last week, our class had a free presentation on Careers found in the Kootenays. Below is a brief description of the program and some pictures/videos of students.  

Description: What is it like to crawl into a bear den, with a sleeping bear? What is it like to work in the remote corners of the Kootenays doing Forestry work? How do you plan and guide a 2 week hike through the mountains for paying customers? Get the answers to these questions and more with wildlife biologist, wilderness guide, and outdoor educator Dave Quinn's engaging, story-filled slide show and discussion about outdoor careers in the Kootenays.

Our class playing Charades!  Students were put into groups and asked to brainstorm any job that worked outside.  Once students generated ideas, they were then placed into small groups and had to act out their job for others to guess.

Thanks to Dave Quinn for the presentation.  Below is a brief biography of his endeavours!
