‘Champions of Indigenous Employment’ honoured – The Star

The Interprovincial Association on Native Employment Westman Chapter held its annual Champions of Indigenous Employment Awards Wednesday to celebrate businesses promoting diverse workplaces.

Interprovincial Association on Native Employment Westman Chapter (IANE) chair Doug Pople described champions as those “committed to doing the right thing at all times.” He added many employers are doing hard work behind the scenes to create diverse workplaces that are directly helping community members.

The IANE luncheon at T-Birds, Food, Fun and Games honoured Blue Water Wash, Gail Cullen of the Brandon Friendship Centre and T-Birds for their positive impacts on the community.
