On Wednesday, August 6, Peter Campbell, Keewaytinook Okimakanak Public Works Manager presented Peter Barber with a gift recognizing the many years of service and support that Peter provided to the KO First Nations. Peter worked as the Project Officer with the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines overseeing numerous infrastructure projects in all the KO First Nations. The development of housing, water and sewer, roads, hydro, telecommunications and many other projects were successfully completed with Peter's support and encouragement. His work over the years has contributed to the development of the First Nation communities across the region.
We are fortunate that Peter recently accepted a position where he will be able to continue to work with the First Nations across the north as a special projects officer developing economic initiatives with Indian and Northern Affairs Canada. We look forward to more opportunities to develop new economic projects working in partnership with Peter Barber.
