Game On in Montreal!

After a one day weather delay, it was game on in Montreal. Nope, it wasn't the Habs playing, nor was it at the Bell Centre. It was a more momentous pairing that that - Stonecircle and Aarluk Consulting teaming up for the first time south of 60 at the Aboriginal Human Resource Council’s annual Inclusion Works, “Canada’s biggest indigenous inclusion event and recruitment fair” which ran from May 3rd to 5th 2011 in downtown Montreal at Le Centre Sheraton.

AHRC is one of Stonecircle's longest standing clients, and our involvement in this year's conference was particularly interesting.  Jennifer David and Kory Goulais of Stonecircle had prepared twenty case studies for the executive learning and collective problem solving sessions. Victor Tootoo facilitated the plenary session on the morning of Wednesday, May 4th, which incorporated two separate panel sessions and presenters from the Saskatchewan Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure as well as the PTI Group. There were a total of 14 breakout sessions in the afternoon, one of which was presented by Victor on the Government of Nunavut’s efforts to achieve its Inuit Employment Plan targets as mandated under the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement.

Congratulations to AHRC, as always, on a job well done, and Kudos to the Stonecircle/Aarluk collaboration. We know it will help ease Victor's pain at the regrettable demise of the Preds.
