The second return is in response, again to Mr. Gargan, to a question he asked on February 16 regarding northern nominees for RCMP training.
Although no new students are being accepted at this time, those who are already started will be able to continue with it. The program has been successful over the years in the Northwest Territories. Most recently, Yvonne Niego and Dan Roode, both graduates of the program, completed their training at the RCMP academy in December 1993, and have now been posted in NWT communities.
Two NWT residents who went through this program, Joey Moses and Henry Coman, are currently doing well in their training at the RCMP academy and will graduate in March and April. Two more, Violet Pokiak and Adolphus Norris, have completed the program and are waiting for an opening at the RCMP academy.
