Hey my name is Chad Kakepetum, am from Keewaywin, but curently reside in Weagamow Lake, Ontario. I started in the fall and winter of 2008, I would say around September or October. The training was useful and opened my eyes to the ever so growing industry of technology, there's a lot of opportunities out there that involve this kind of work. So am glad that I got into this program, and would like to be more apart of it when it comes around again. Hopefully it's something I can do for the rest of my life. If you would like to know more, I don't mind answering questions. Thanks Chad Kakepetum |

Hey Chad! I miss you...come back!! *lol* There's Moses Patawanik working out of Weagamow...can I ask you to drop in on him and share with him your experience with us? He's been struggling and could use any help he could get and you're the man to turn to...  Hope things are going well with your partner and your baby! Keep up the good work in all aspects of your life. Angie |

My name is Kristan Panamick and I am from M'Chigeeng First Nation on Manitoulin Island. Last summer is when I worked through YICT at Kenjgewin Teg Educational Institute. I think that this was a really good experience and I would love to do it again! I had fun flying out to Sioux Lookout with the other ICT's that summer to do some training. |

Hello all My name is Derek Kanate, I am from Weagamow Lake. I was a YICT from the 06/07 program. Since the last time I worked for K Net, I've been working for KiHS, where I am classroom assistant, and on a interesting sidenote worked with some current (Chad Kakapetum and Moses Petawanick) and more then likely future ICT's. If anyone wants to ask anymore questions please feel free to ask. |

Hello All, My name is Tabatha Jourdain, I am from Couchiching First Nation a few kilometers from Fort Frances, Ontario. I just moved back to my reserve to be with family. Previously, I lived in Lac Seul and worked at the knet office in Sioux Lookout. I worked as the YICT Coordinator back in 2004-06 and in 2008 worked as the Regional SchoolNet Coordinator to March of 2009. I worked with many different people over the years such as Knets staff, community principals, band office staff and the youth workers. I enjoyed working with the youth.. "calling and emailing all youth for reports and timesheets...LOL" I worked with knet staff to set up a YICT training session in Fort William First Nation out of Thunder Bay back in 2004. Which was a great opportunity. I still use my knet email address... tabathajourdain@knet.ca feel free to email anytime. |
