CHÂTEAUGUAY, QC, Oct 2, 2014 /CNW Telbec/ - New Frontiers School Board (NFSB) Continuing Education is launching a massive social change project called Trade it Forward (TIF) to show just how powerful trade skills are in transforming people's lives and in helping to build our communities from the ground up.
Inspired by the change making impact of their 6,000 graduates, NFSB Continuing Educations' Trade it Forward project takes a note from Pay it Forward and invites everyday people to use their skills or trade to help someone in need in their community. Each individual change act is intended to start a chain reaction and create a broad network of helping events.
To mark the launch of the TIF project, NFSB Continuing Education is hiding golden trade objects throughout the Chateauguay Valley. The individual finding the golden object will be rewarded with $1000 for their willingness to start a TIF chain. The TIF launch event is taking place at Petch Orchards on October 11 at 12 pm where someone will find the first golden object hidden on the orchard.
