Testimonials:
- “The seminar was a rich learning experience for all of us who were involved It provided a window for enhanced understanding of Aboriginal culture and heritage along with a better appreciation for how we can grow and collaborate together.
- Feedback from everyone involved was that it was highly valued and meaningful experience both personally and professionally. I highly recommend this kind of learning opportunity for everyone.” Dr. Alex Hillyard, Chief Executive Officer, North East Alberta Community Board, Persons with Developmental Disabilities
- We will use this experience to help us provide guidance in how to better support Aboriginal people in the workplace and as a partner in business. We came away better informed,… Time is a precious commodity in business. By the end of the four days, everyone… had a much greater appreciation for why the choice was made to invest the time in this type of relational training. Each participant was provided with transferable knowledge and awareness that cannot be accomplished in one day informational seminar formats.

The skill and commitment of the educators was impressive and we commend you on your teaching practices. Gerald P Catonio, VP North East Region, URS Flint.
