SPEAKERS

Eloise Freitas

I am the Program Manager for the Northern Employment Services and Rural Remote Supported Employment Program, and I have worked in employment/vocational programs for people with disabilities for over 25 years, most of which have been with Manitoba Possible.  I am also a Leader with our Not Myself Today workplace mental health program and I represent Manitoba Possible at the Manitoba Supported Employment Network.  Outside of work I spend a lot of time with my family and our cats and dogs.  And I have a love of horses, so I also enjoy volunteering as an instructor for an accessible riding program called Prairie Strides.

Darrin Luke

I am the Training Coordinator at Manitoba Possible and my job entails educating the public about disability, accessibility, and inclusion  I acquired my injury at the age of ten by means of a cancerous spinal tumour that caused me to become a T7 paraplegic which means I am paralyzed from the waist down. Despite my disability, I have been able to acquire a Bachelor of Arts in History and French at the University of Waterloo, an Education Degree at the University of Windsor and a Human Resources Degree through the University of Manitoba.  I spend a lot of my time with my wonderful spouse Jenny and our dog Harley and cat Trooper.  My other passions lie in sports where I have completed 4 Half Marathons, and play Sledge Hockey, Wheelchair tennis and Waterski.

Manitoba Possible is a non-profit organization dedicated to breaking down barriers to full and equal participation through a diverse range of programs and services. They offer 15 program areas serving children, youth, and adults with disabilities across three Winnipeg locations and six regional offices throughout Manitoba.  For more information on Manitoba Possible’s services and supports, visit http://www.manitobapossible.ca/.
