Testimonial from Wendy Landry

As an Indigenous woman who works daily in areas of governance, I have personally advocated for this type of program to happen.

In the reality of dealing with transparency, industry consultation and other aspects of the business world, it is important that we as First People prepare our communities, our leaders and our future for effective and strong governance going forward. We have advocated for the ability to self govern and I see this becoming a reality in the not to distant future.

This program is essential.  There has been extensive consultation and negotiation in the curriculum development, as well as a lot of input from communities. I appreciate that the planners have included community consultations to determine what is needed to hit all areas of this training.

I am confident that this program will offer our communities something of value.  Maybe I will even have to take this program.
