Father, thank You for Sheila and her wide and varied experience and education, particularly in the area of Conservation Management. She has already been a champion for Canada’s resources, both Federally and Provincially, and in the public sector. Sheila’s dedication and advocacy in these areas have made a difference also for the First Nations People. Please continue to give her courage and wisdom as she ministers in these challenging areas with environmental impact. Please bless her family. Amen……..
