Recognition for resuming education

Darcy Joseph Tootoosis and Angela Janzen are among 24 Aboriginal people from across the country to receive Canada Post’s 2011 Aboriginal Education Incentive Awards. The $1,000 award recognizes those who have resumed studies after a minimum of 12 months out of school and have completed one or more years in an educational program. “The hard work and determination of these recipients have made a tremendous impact on their own lives and we are proud to recognize them today,” said Bonnie Boretsky, vice-president, general counsel, corporate secretary and compliance, in a news release.
