The AORS Municipal Public Works Toolkit is your go-to resource for inspiring the next generation about careers in municipal public works. Designed for both elementary and secondary school students, the toolkit includes engaging activity pages, ready-to-use presentations, informative videos, and interactive materials that make it easy to explain how public works professionals build and maintain the infrastructure that keeps our communities safe and moving. Whether you’re visiting a classroom, attending a career fair, or participating in a community event, this toolkit provides everything you need to spark curiosity and showcase the exciting, hands-on opportunities in municipal public works.
From snowplows and graders to water systems and road safety, the toolkit helps students understand the real-world impact of public works careers in a fun, age-appropriate way. It’s flexible, easy to use, and designed to support meaningful conversations about skilled trades, municipal careers, and community service. If you have ideas or suggestions for additions to the toolkit, please reach out to Kelly Elliott, Executive Director at kellyelliott@aors.on.ca.
