    The College of the North Atlantic is offering the Electric Vehicle First Responder training at various locations throughout the province.

    The College of the North Atlantic (CNA) recently showed off one of the electric cars they will use as part of a new pilot for the Electric Vehicle First Responder Training. Designer Dave Giles says he was approached by the college asking if he could modify cars to highlight the hazards.
