Thank God for Cree Board

It was very refreshing to read the writer's attitude on being thankful for getting a Cree-funded education. My only option after graduating from high school in Noranda, Quebec was to work in the mine, since my parents had no university funds for me. No regrets though. I also had the pleasure of working in the James Bay area as Welfare Officer for the Ontario Government in 1967. Many precious friends were made there and I continue to have contact with them. To me, university education is only accieved when one does something meaningful with it; not simply to make lots of money to purchase "things." May all who utilize this Cree funding be thankful for it and hopefully help others in any meaningful way to overcome the terrible things which happen to communities in isolation. Take care, from Dick and Esther Provencher. Truro, Nova Scotia.
