Happy Anniversaries!


Scott Black,
Consilium Consultant
       
Geoff Rigby,
Aarluk Researcher
Kory Goulais,
Stonecircle Researcher

September at Consilium, Stonecircle and Aarluk is a busy month. It’s the start of a new fiscal year, it’s the month we begin our staff work planning process and it is the time we seem to hire staff.

5 years ago September 1st, Aarluk hired a young research assistant by the name of Geoff Rigby who came to Ottawa after being a lifelong resident of Iqaluit. ….The announcement 5 years ago began with ‘A flourish of Aarlukian trumpets for Geoff Rigby” (thanks Terry Rudden). Geoff is now not so young (kidding Geoff) and one of our most seasoned Researchers.

3 years ago, on September 14th Stonecircle welcomed a new addition to our group of companies – Researcher, Kory Goulais. Kory hails from North Bay, ON and is a member of the Nipissing First Nation. This writer remembers overhearing Jen Bradshaw telling Kory before his interview that "you know if you get the job, you won’t have to wear a tie… Kory’s response: Sweet!”. I haven’t seen Kory in a tie since the day he was interviewed, but it hasn’t interfered with his abilities - he has been a great addition to our team.

1 year ago, on September 1st, Shareholder and Consultant Scott Black joined the Consilium team after working as an Associate with our group of companies for a number of years. Prior to this, he spent 21 years working with Aboriginal public and private sector organizations in Ontario, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut in a variety of management, communications and consulting roles. Scott is currently working with CSA co-workers on an exciting project for the Nunavut Arctic College in what is still considered a 'new' venture for all concerned - the design and delivery of online courses in the Municipal Training Organizations’ (MTO) popular Municipal Government Program. Just call Scott 'Moodle King' and he's sure to answer!

The CCG of companies is a better place to work thanks to all of these gentlemen. Looking forward to many more years of working together!
