We are sad to hear about the passing of a long-time member of the Cree School Board family, Willie Ottereyes.

He was a teacher, a vice-principal, principal, Coordinator of Adult Education, Community Education Administrator and also the first Centre Director for the Sabtuan Regional Vocational Training Centre in Waswanipi. We honour his contribution to Eeyou Education and to the Cree School Board.
We offer our heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones.
