The Sioux Lookout Area Aboriginal Management Board was founded in November 1991 to address the employment and training needs in the geographical area. On April 1, 1999 SLAAMB became an Aboriginal Human Resources Development Agreement Holder (AHRDAH), which is funded by Human Resources & Skills Development Canada (HRSDC).
My name is Celine Favell-Roulette and I am from Wabigoon Lake Ojibway Nation. I recently graduated from St. Lawrence College with my Early Childhood Education diploma. This program was funded by Equaywuk Women's Group and SLAAMB, and the program was delivered through distance education.
