Casey Forbes
Conservation Halton Custom Leadership Program

The Capstone Project was my favorite part. Being able to utilize what we were learning, network with other CH staff and build relationships, and explore an issue CH is facing. I feel that my journey through this program has made me a better leader and equipped me with tools and skills that I will use in my career for years to come.

David Hennick
Hamilton Police Service 

“My skills were primarily focused on being good at policing, with some focus on leading teams, but I knew I needed more. I learned that the problems you deal with in the policing environment were similar to other organizations. The program allowed me to function in my executive role while making sure that my knowledge was current in several different areas. It was a good return on investment.”
