“I am very grateful and very blessed to be able to have gone through this program and to take what I learned and contribute back to First Nations people in the North. It expanded my thinking, broadened my scope, and filled huge gaps in my knowledge base. I feel privileged to be able to put my new skills to use, as this degree is not only valuable for me but for entire communities. The number of people I can provide services to is immense.”
– Lindsay Iron
