***PROGRAM UPDATE*** For the winter of 2021-2022 we will be conducting the first day of this course fully remotely and then day 2 and day 3 in the field.  This will give our students greater flexibility and allow for us to better manage contact with all students.  Please note that the remote session may or may not be on the day prior to our two field days.  We will decide this as a group, as we approach the program start date.  Please give us a call if you have any questions or concerns.
