May 24, 2019 Business Link: I was going through my desk and I found this brochure. It was from 2012 when I tried to start my own TV production company.
2003: I had tried to get an internship at CBC, but they said they only hire NAIT's TV and Radio students and no one else.
2008: I graduated with a college diploma in Professional Writing. I applied to CBC again, and they never called me back. I applied to others and got one interview at Dynacor Media.
2008-2012: I constantly emailed my script pitch to every TV production company in Canada.
2012: I decide to start my own TV production company.
I went to the info session and I wasn't chosen to be in the program. That's fine.
I also rebooted my TV production company job search. I attended 2 interviews. There was a 3 day job. The other was a sales position.

I found these brochures I got from a job fair. It was from a 2014. I'm cleaning out old paper. However, when I first went to this job fair in 2014, I researched all this before. I'm researching again if there are new positions.

GRIT inspiring inclusive futures: Getting Ready for Inclusion Today.
The GRIT Program is a dynamic inclusive and family centered early educational program. Funded through Alberta Education, GRIT’s Early Childhood Services Program serves families who have a preschool child with a developmental disability. A multi-disciplinary team of professionals utilize a coaching model to actively support the meaningful inclusion for every child in their family, community and kindergarten.
Family Centered Practice
GRIT values the uniqueness of families and believes in creating flexible partnership. An integral aspect of our program is the belief that parents hold a central role in informed decision making and choices for the well-being of their child and family. By joining GRIT, parents experience meaningful opportunities for active parent participation, learning, and gain confidence to positively influence their children’s future.
Community Inclusion
Inclusion is embedded in the belief that “we all belong”. All children have the right to participate in natural setting, regardless of their diverse abilities. When children are included, they are active and valued participants in family life, community and in their neighborhood school. An inclusive community is a welcoming community where each member experiences the feeling and reality of belonging.
Learning Through Play & Everyday Routines
Young children learn through play. Interactions experienced in play form a strong foundation for ongoing social, physical, emotional, and cognitive development. Through play, children learn to make sense of their world, practice skills, expand their imagination, and create a valued role for themselves with their peers.
Learning Community
The most valuable assets of an organization are its people. GRIT families, staff and community partners are engaged and passionate. They learn together, seek knowledge, and discover innovative practices fo4r their work. Through constant, respect and trust, people and ideas evolve and grow.
