Description
Boozhoo, hello my name is Bele, I am Kiaske Zaaging First Nation which is located within Robinson Superior Treaty. My college education consists of a Diploma in Personal Support Worker and Pre-Health Sciences. I have been working since I graduated in 2016. As an Anishinaabe Woman, I have a deep passion for doing something more for our mother earth and the people. Last year I was granted a bursary from the National Youth Committee to give back to indigenous peoples, we as a team developed a 3-day self-care seminar to encourage youth, which consisted of a variety of different skills. I am looking to further my education and commitment to employment experiences, therefore I’ve decided to apply for this program. I am specifically encouraged within this route as I have a father who is a Civil Engineer and has built water-treatment plants in the remote northern communities. He has taught me to be resourceful and to contribute to society. I look forward to meeting everyone, and taking on a leadership role to guide others, and learn myself from Ontario Power Generation. It is with great honour to have been accepted into a position of consideration. Miigwetch.
