Parkland campus director for the Assiniboine Community College, Gabe Mercier, is set to retire today after ten years as Parkland Campus Director.
Mr. Mercier spoke with CKDM about what is next for him:
“I am still interested in education and training. I think in the Parkland region there is still a market for bringing people together in training. That is one thing I might be working with community futures with. Also, I am the President of the Chamber of Commerce, and I am just starting my first year as President, and I am going to try to be an active president.“
Mercier then chuckled and added that he would be occupied with gardening as well to keep busy.
The Dauphin & District Chamber of Commerce announced via their Facebook that there would be a retirement parade to celebrate Mr. Mercier today, starting at 1:15 pm.
You are encouraged to bring banners, balloons, and whatever else you think fits the celebration to give Mr. Mercier the send-off he deserves.
