Three Alberta recipients of Canada Post award

Constance Day Chief, Lloyd Desjarlais, and Cynthia Jim are the Alberta recipients of Canada Post’s Aboriginal Education Incentive Awards. Awards were handed out to 24 people from across the country. Applicants must have resumed studies after at least 12 months away from the education system. The winners of the $1,000 annual prize are chosen by a jury of representatives of Canada Post and one Aboriginal community member. The awards, which launched in 2004, acknowledge the hard work and drive required to continue education following an absence from formal schooling.
