Vancouver's "Street Gang" graduates.

Instructor Jannet Tricarico had the challenging task of training new employees to work at Vancouver's airport.

"It's been ten years since we hired 'kids off the street' to work at the airport," says Tricarico. "I had to start from scratch with geography, city codes, time zones and the 24 hour clock! It was an experience but I learned a lot myself. Seeing Air Canada through fresh eyes again reminded me of when I started 23 years ago."
