Title based on caption
Collected by editorial for use in a December 2002 issue of the Burnaby NewsLeader
Caption from metadata for 535-3038-1: "Gerry Passmore went from manhandling logs with thick steel cables to running fine ethernet cable and installing computer systems after he was retrained through the Access Ability Program following an accident that ended his career in the logging industry."
Caption from metadata for 535-3038-2: "A carpenter since he was 15 years old, John Cannon had to get used to the shirt-and-tie world as a computer programmer after job retraining through the Access Ability program following an accident that made it impossible to continue working in the trades. He's a senior manager of electronic communication for Future Shop/Best Buy, and he's now giving back to the program by volunteering as a mentor to new students."
Caption from metadata for 535-3038-3: "John Cannon, a graduate of the Burnaby Skills' Centre's Access Ability program, and now a senior manager of electronic communications for Future Shop/Best Buy, is giving back to the program that retrained him for a new career by mentoring new students. He's meeting with his latest protege, Allan Newstead."
