Honour Song For centuries Indigenous people have believed that the drum and the human heart share a similar purpose. This purpose is to provide life through its heartbeat. This connection promotes oneness, love and respect for all living things. The Honour song brings voice and calls spirit to honour the relationship of all life, thus honouring the reason for the honour song’s request. Usually sung in honour of a particular person, honour songs are also sung for groups or sacred ceremonial gatherings. When an honour song is sung at gatherings, it is respectful to stand and remove your hat. The songs of the people are in language and beliefs, in stories and dances, and who or what is honoured. A ceremonial honour song are specific songs sung for sundance, inipi, pipe ceremony, etc. Honour songs can be sung for filling a sacred pipe, calling in spirits, sending spirits away, praying to the four directions, and so forth. There are specific honour songs for different ceremonies, although sometimes some will be used for another ceremony. 5 Graduates School of Construction and Engineering Technologies Civil Engineering

We apologize in advance for any errors. Honorary Diploma 2014 Lisa Meeches President of Eagle Vision Inc., Executive Director of the Manito Ahbee Festival Inc. Red River College awards a Red River College Honorary Diploma to an individual who demonstrates high standards of excellence in their personal and professional achievements, and whose involvement in the community is widely recognized. Lisa Meeches is one of the most dynamic and respected producers in the film industry, who happens to be an Ojibway from Long Plain First Nation. One of her recent projects, 4 time CSA nominee and 2 time winner We Were Children, is widely praised by residential school survivors for its power to heal, while general audiences have been moved by this truth of Canada’s colonial past. Ms. Meeches has produced numerous projects for critical acclaim. Among them include: 500 plus episodes of The Sharing Circle, Canada’s longest running Aboriginal television series; Tipi Tales, a Parent’s Choice award winning children’s series; and Elijah, a Gemini Award winning movie-of-the-week, the 3 times nominated 2 time winner of CSA’s JACK, The list goes on… Lisa conducts her film industry work through her three companies: Eagle Vision Inc, Meeches Video Productions, and Century Street Distribution. Lisa also devotes considerable time to other causes. Lisa has been critical to the success of the Manito Ahbee Festival since inception 8 years ago where she has acted in the capacity of board chair on a volunteer basis until recently stepping down to assume the role of Executive Director. Lisa also sits on the national board of the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Lisa has been the recipient of many local, regional, and national awards for her exemplary contributions in culture, media, and entrepreneurship. Among her many accolades, Lisa is a past recipient of a National Aboriginal Achievement Award. True to her heritage, Lisa practices the customs of her faith and is a renowned champion fancy shawl dancer. 17 Honorary Diploma 2014 Larry Vickar President of Vickar Community Chevrolet, Head of Vickar Auto Group Red River College awards a Red River College Honorary Diploma to an individual who demonstrates high standards of excellence in their personal and professional achievements, and whose involvement in the community is widely recognized. Larry Vickar has been in the automobile industry for 44 years, serving in numerous capacities and working his way up from office, finance, credit and sales positions to partnership in one dealership. He now heads up the Vickar Group of Automotive Dealerships, which consists of six operating companies representing four manufacturers – General Motors, Nissan, Mitsubishi and Isuzu – and employs over 300 Winnipeggers. Larry attributes the success of his businesses to the collaborative efforts of his staff, who work together to serve their mutual customers with respect and with the attitude that they wish to be the “places” where Customers Send Their Friends. That, as their mission statement reads, says it all! Having been taught from an early age that sharing one’s time and resources was the right thing to do, Larry has served – and continues to serve – his industry and the local and international general communities. He has previously served as President of the Manitoba Motor Dealers Association and the Transcona Rotary Club, to name a couple. Larry has worked at the local, provincial, national and international levels, championing worthwhile initiatives, some of which are focused in areas of great need. Currently, he sits on the Executive of the Jewish Foundation of Manitoba, The Jewish National Fund, St. Boniface Hospital Foundation and the Manitoba Hydro Electric Board. Larry and his wife, Tova, have been instrumental in building a village for the poor in the Philippines and a water project in Israel, and more recently, have helped develop and nurture the L’Arche Tova Café in downtown Transcona – a place to showcase the talent of those with developmental disabilities. For these and other accomplishments, Larry has been the recipient of numerous awards, including the Laureate – the highest award given by the Canadian Automobile Dealers Association for extraordinary service to the community and industry; the Saul Kanee Distinguished Service Medal from the Jewish Federation; a Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal; Lieutenant Governor’s Community Service Awards from both the Manitoba and Winnipeg Chambers of Commerce; and honours at the Jewish National Fund’s Negev Gala and from Winnipeg’s Filipino community. Later this month, Larry and Family will be recognized at the Rady JCC Sportsman’s Dinner. His proudest accomplishment is his family – his wife, Tova, of 43 years; his children Sam and Lisa, and Stephen and Marie (also partners in business), and his two grandchildren. 18 2014 Students’ Association Teaching Award of Excellence Laurie Slater Instructor, School of Hospitality and Culinary Arts The Red River College Students’ Association Teaching Award of Excellence is awarded annually to an instructor in recognition of outstanding teaching practices and dedication to students. Laurie Slater had years of experience in hotel management under her belt when she became a Red River College instructor two decades ago. She made an easy transition to teaching, given the many similarities between training new staff and new students. But Slater — a Hospitality instructor and recipient of RRC’s 2014 Students’ Association Teaching Award of Excellence — says she now sees just as many parallels between students who’ve established themselves in a new industry and grown children who’ve returned home for a visit. “The most rewarding part [of teaching] is when students come back five years later with a good job title and a new baby, and they visit with you for half an hour talking about how their college experience has helped them,” says Slater. “If you think about it — when they first come here, they’re new, so everything is lovely and rosy. But by the time they leave, they’re frustrated with you, because you’ve made them work hard and think for two years, so they just want to get away. But later, they’ll say, ‘I guess she really knew what she was talking about.’ There’s a change in perspective.” Slater says she’s witnessed a number of changes to both the industry and the classroom over the years, noting students these days are more interested than ever in seizing opportunities for applied learning and hands-on training. With the increasing diversity in the classroom, creating inclusiveness is a must. While technology and teaching methods may have changed, there are certain things about the hospitality industry that remain constant from year to year. “Good old-fashioned customer service never goes out of style.” “Excellence in customer service will still increase profitability,” she adds, noting she believes in role modeling this concept for students, as they are essentially her customers. Slater’s students say they’ve benefited from her expertise, citing her positive influence and industry smarts as reasons for nominating her for the award. “She is very helpful and always has a positive attitude,” says one. “She is the best instructor in this course so far, and any student is lucky to have her.” 19 Lieutenant Governor Medals A maximum of four medals are awarded annually to students at Red River College who, in the opinion of a selection committee, combine to the greatest extent in their graduating year academic and technical achievement, involvement in College and/or community activities, and good character. Selection is made by a committee that includes representation from the student body, faculty and administration. A plaque listing previous years recipients is displayed in the Red River College Library. Recipients of the Lieutenant Governor’s Medals: Mendoza, Diego Fernando Chemical and Biosciences Technology Steinberg, Pablo International Business Red River College Gold Medals Red River College Gold Medals recognize students in diploma and degree programs who attain the highest cumulative grade point average at or above 3.80. Each program selects and awards one gold medal for each academic year. The gold medallist may complete their program and convocate in either the winter or spring convocation ceremony. 2015 Gold Medallists 20 Automotive Technician Krystle Denise Cramer Bachelor of Nursing Ashley Eila Marie Alonius Chemical and Biosciences Technology Diego Fernando Mendoza Culinary Arts Nicole Tai Boudreau Electrical Engineering Technology Robert Michael Pleschke Hospitality and Tourism Management (Hotel and Restaurant) William T.
