Academic Achievement Award Brendan is a fourth-year student who is attending the Edwards School of Business studying Human Resources. Returning back to school at the age of 29 has allowed him to appreciate the importance of education, and after spending his 20's within the construction industry he is excited to begin his new journey as a human resource professional. He aims to acquire his CPHR and has the end goal of becoming a HR consultant. |

Sienna's hobbies include raising chickens, gardening, swimming, and cooking. She is currently an events planner for the IBSS and part of the co-op program through which she is working for her home community (LLRIB) through Kitsaki.

She is currently on a education leave from work as an HR officer with LLRIB. Leona-Grace commutes every week from La Ronge to Saskatoon so her children do not have to relocate. Upon finishing her Bachelor of Commerce, Leona-Grace will return to work with LLRIB and apply the new knowledge she has gained from Edwards to help her community. |
