Fleming College

With activities such as geocaching and canoeing on the agenda, Fleming College’s Frost Campus will once again host a group of Ontario Rangers for a workshop July 27-28.

It is the fifth year the campus has hosted this workshop for the Ontario Ranger program.

About 50 Rangers will participate in a number of activities that include outdoor safety and survival skills, tree identification, traditional Aboriginal teachings, and a firsthand look at the campus fish hatcheries. Fleming’s expert instructors run the sessions, which focus on natural resource management, hands-on learning, and team-building exercises.

The Rangers who will visit Frost Campus this year represent a portion of the high school students the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) hires annually to work for eight weeks. The Rangers’ work is part of the MNR’s natural resource management projects that support biodiversity and combat climate change across Ontario.

Located in the heart of Central Ontario, Fleming College has campus locations in Peterborough, Lindsay, Cobourg and Haliburton. Named for famous Canadian inventor and engineer Sir Sandford Fleming, the college features more than 90 full-time programs in Business and Technology, Continuing Education and Skilled Trades, Environmental and Natural Resource Sciences, Visual Arts, Education, Health and Wellness, and Law, Justice and Community Services.
