For the first time in 40 years the Ontario Federation of Indigenous Friendship Centres (OFIFC) has a new executive director.
Earlier this year federation officials revealed Sylvia Maracle, the only executive director the OFIFC has had, would be retiring this summer.
And on Monday it was announced that Gertie Mai Muise is serving as the OFIFC’s incoming executive director.
“I think it is a milestone,” Muise said of the fact she will be replacing Maracle after her four-decade career as the OFIFC executive director. “She started it up and she built it.”
