NWP Alumni Jory Simard
"As someone who has called Grande Prairie home his entire life, Simard explained that there is “nothing but opportunity to be leveraged” in the Peace Region and can’t wait to make his way back."
NWP Graduate Chantal Pearson
"During her two-year diploma, Chantal developed a strong sense of independence and self-confidence. As a naturally shy person, she found it difficult to speak up in public settings, but her classes and presentations helped her to find her voice."
