First of all, we wish to say what a great honor it is to have been invited to be Elders for E-Spirit.As a way of introduction, we want you to know that we live in Winnipeg, MB and both of us are originally from Manitoba.
We own a business called Red Willow Lodge which offers seminars, workshops & courses on Aboriginal Teachings & Ceremonies.Margaret also works at University of Manitoba – Centre for Aboriginal Health Education as Elder in Residence.Jules also work at Red River College – Indigenous Education Department as Elder in Residence.
As we are becoming acquainted with our role with E-Spirit, we wish to, at this time, welcome all students to E-Spirit 2009.We are sure that the Business Plan Competition will provide some very difficult selections in determining winners.As we do every year, and especially this year, we wish you well in your studies and hope that you succeed in fulfilling your goals in life.
May the Great Spirit be your guide in achieving good health of mind, body & spirit.
Jules & Margaret Lavallee
