First Nations officer says he owes success to military
When it comes to serving his country, Joel Pedersen has had quite the experience.
After joining the military at age 17, he became a police officer at age 22 and most recently opened his own gym, touring to offer fitness training programs in many communities.
Pedersen is still a member of the army reserves as a Chief Warrant Officer (CWO), the highest non-commissioned rank in the military.
Looking back on the day he signed up in Prince Albert in 1987, Pedersen said it has definitely contributed to his success.
