Message from the Manager

Aneen, Booshoo, Tansi !!

On behalf of First Peoples Development Inc. Secretariat and the Board of Directors; we would like to thank our First Nation Sub-Agreement Holders, coordinators, Local Advisory Boards, Chiefs and Council, Participants/clients of the ASETS programs, Employers, Institutions and the Aboriginal Liaison Workers from Service Canada for all the hard work and support required for us to work together in building successful relationships.

The ASETS has given us the opportunity to work together and support local decision making. It is important that we give our communities the responsibility for designing and delivering programs that respond to their local development strategies, accommodating the needs of clients with respect to our social and cultural values. This program is giving our communities the opportunity to plan and pursue their own interests which helps them to gain a sense of control over their own futures.

A special thank you to the Chiefs in Assembly & our Elders for their support and guidance.
