Twenty hours of training and a certificate, 40 hours of community work (or more), a diploma, a T-shirt and hat, ... ah, and free entrance to different shows such as the Green Living Show and Canada Blooms. He figures on at least a great opportunity for networking with employers, meet the community, etc. Check online for the next training session at TEV.
