    Carpenter teaches parents about skilled trades careers for their kids – PAT BRENNAN, Daily Commercial News, Canada
    During daylight hours, the young woman is a journeyman carpenter working with the Toronto District School Board to keep its 560 schools in good shape to safely accommodate more than 284,000 students.

    In the evening, she moves to the front of the classroom to teach a vital lesson – not to the students, but to their parents.

    Ward, 33, meets with parents coming into the schools on parent-teacher nights to persuade them to consider a curriculum for their children that will introduce them to the skilled trades.
