This #FacultyFriday, we're celebrating #plumbing and #piping #trades instructor Nick Charette. Born in Victoria, BC, Nick entered the construction trade in the late '90s. His background includes years of experience working in a full mechanical commercial construction environment, including large retail, assisted care living, institutional buildings, offices and multi-story residential construction, with key responsibilities including natural gas and propane systems, hydronic ...heating systems, solar thermal systems, storm/grey water retention and delivery systems, fire protection, potable water distribution and drain, waste and venting systems. Nick and his family moved to the #ComoxValley in 2007. He started teaching at NIC a year later and has been at the college ever since. Nick says one of the greatest rewards of his work is seeing apprentices "mature into successful journeypersons and peers in the field."
