TESTIMONIALS
	"THE STUDENTS AT THE DOCTOR GEORGE JOHNSON MIDDLE SCHOOL HAD HAVE AN EXPOSURE TO THE REAL WORLD OF ART AS A HUMAN EXPERIENCE." ~ JIM LEARY, PRINCIPAL DR. GEORGE JOHNSON MIDDLE SCHOOL, 2004 "THERE IS A RICH AND VIBRANT CULTURE AMONG THE RESIDENTS OF THE COMMUNITIES THAT RING LAKE WINNIPEG. MUCH OF THEIR ARTISTIC EXPRESSION IS INSPIRED BY THE SPECTACULAR AND STUNNING SCENERY PROVIDED BY LAKE WINNIPEG. THE LAKE GIVES INSPIRATION TO ALL WHO EXPERIENCE ITS BEAUTY. THIS PROJECT WILL ENHANCE THE TOURISM INDUSTRY IN OUR PROVINCE, AS IT IS AN IMPORTANT ECONOMIC DRIVER OF OUR STRONG MANITOBA ECONOMY." ~ MINISTER, PETER BJORNSON, NEWS RELEASE, MAY 12, 2005

		TO THE BOARD OF PRAIRIE OCEAN The teachers from Chancellor School recently had the pleasure of attending two workshops. The first was a writers' workshop instructed by David Arnason and the other a mask making workshop with artist, Mike Olito. The sessions received rave reviews by all attending staff! The teachers were immediately able to apply skills gained in their classrooms. We would highly recommend this experience to any educational group wishing to take advantage of this unique and valuable resource.

All the members of the group were thrilled about that day, not least the men. We were all very pleased with your guidance and all the stories and information you shared with us. Now they have left Canada and I gave them your regards along with the "laws of the talking stick". They all send their best regards and gratitude and ask you to please contact them, especially if you go to Iceland you just have to get in touch with them. Thank you again. Thrudur
