Employment Equity Events

On June 5, 2006 about 40 employees came to hear our guest speaker for Aboriginal week. His name is Dave Courchene Jr. (Neeghani Aki Innini) and he is an elder at Turtle Lodge. Turtle Lodge is a sacred environment where young people are reintroduced to a way of life based on natural and spiritual laws. Dave spoke about his clan as being a peaceful, loving people. He spoke about how family is very important to them especially Mothers and Grandmothers. It was really interesting to hear him speak about the way of life and culture of his people.We would like to thank everyone who came and if you want to know more about Turtle Lodge please go to their website: www.theturtlelodge.com.

"It is our belief that Indigenous People have an equal contribution to make toward the survival of humanity and also offer a new direction that mankind will have to consider if there is to be a future for the Earth and the generations yet to come. This belief is premised on peace and brotherhood for all peoples of the world."
