Vicaire expressed full confidence in the success of this partnership and stated that PLC Info is a company with a great track record with Indigenous clientele.

It’s an opportunity for the three communities to prosper in this. It’s an opportunity for our people to take courses with computers, and further their careers in the IT field.” Chief Scott Martin thanked everyone who worked hard to make this project and partnership happen.
