Meet R-Crew 2024-25!
The Resource Crew, or R-Crew, helps the Indigenous Student Support Team and Indigenous Support Centres with activities and events throughout the year.
R-Crew members brainstorm and implement plans with the Support Team, speak and perform at events, and help with logistical set-up and tear-down, among many other tasks and responsibilities. They also help Indigenous students, those new to the College and those that have been around the block, get settled in and navigate everything from events to classes.
If you see an R-Crew member, say hi!

My name is Sydney, and I am a Red River Métis woman born and raised in Winnipeg. I am also a mother and a first-year student in the Business Administration program. My goals are to provide a good life for my family and contribute positively to my beautiful community. I am excited to begin my journey with R-Crew and the wonderful people in Indigenous Education.

Hi! My name is Loren Anderson. I’m a Métis woman currently residing in Winnipeg, Manitoba. I am a first-year student in the Youth Recreation Program, getting back into the swing of school! I felt that joining the R-Crew would help me reconnect with and engage in my culture. The R-Crew has created a safe and welcoming space for me and many others. Come say hi if you see me around!

Hello, my name is Robert Massan, and I am from Fox Lake Cree Nation, 1,000 km north of Winnipeg. I’m enrolled in the Heavy-Duty Equipment Mechanic Program and really enjoy the process of getting to know myself and the college.
I genuinely enjoy helping people and getting to know individuals from different areas of study. I found this to be a great opportunity to assist those who might be unaware of the many resources RRC Polytech offers. I discovered that the Indigenous Support Centre is the best place to start asking questions. So, if you have any questions and see me around, please don’t hesitate to ask!

Aaniin, boozhoo! My name is Hevyn-Lee, but in my language, I am known as Oshkii Memengwaakwe (Bright Butterfly Woman). I’m a proud Anishinaabe woman from Brokenhead Ojibway Nation and the Wolf Clan.
I’m in the Pathway to Business, Communications, and Digital Technology Program. I plan to pursue Communications for Journalism, as well as Social Innovation and Community Development. My main goal is to use the skills, knowledge, and community I gain from RRC Polytech to better my community for future generations.
I’m grateful for the opportunity to help as a member of the Resource Crew. I spend most of my time on campus in F-209, where I enjoy participating in ceremonies and drumming with Richard. If you see me, don’t be afraid to say hi!
Miigwetch.

Hi, my name is Guy, aka Geese (lol). My spirit name is White Wolf, and I belong to the Turtle Clan. I am a proud Métis from Richer, MB, and currently live in Transcona. I’m in recovery, which has led me to reconnect spiritually with my culture and seek wisdom from the Creator and elders in surrounding communities and on campus.
I’m a second-year student in the Disability and Community Support Program and can often be found in Building A or the Indigenous Student Centre. I enjoy the sense of community on campus and love helping out at most events. Feel free to say hi if we cross paths!

Aaniin (hello)! My name is Lexie Moneyas, and my spirit name is Cedar Walking Woman. I am an Anishinaabe Ikwe from Hollow Water First Nation, currently pursuing a Business Administration diploma.
I’m passionate about creating a welcoming, supportive space for Indigenous students at RRC Polytech. I’m always here for others—whether it’s offering guidance, support, or simply being a friendly face.
In high school, I was involved in fundraising, community events, sports, school band, and outdoor activities near the water and the bush, which fueled my love for helping others and staying connected to my culture. Now, I enjoy expressing my creativity through painting, beading, drawing, and makeup while staying active and working toward my educational goals.
My hope is to use the skills I’m learning to give back to my community, inspire others, and always be a source of support. As an R-Crew member, I’m excited to represent the Indigenous Support Centre and help foster a sense of belonging for all students. If you see me around, feel free to say hello—I’m here for you!
Miigwech!
