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.
