The kids had a chance to see how some different local businesses get down to work.
District School Board Ontario North East hosted Take Our Kids to Work Day this past Wednesday for Grade 9 students at certain schools within the board.
Students at Timmins High and Vocational, as well as Roland Mitchener Secondary School, Cochrane High School and Iroquois Falls Secondary participated in the career exploration event.
