Marge Nokohoo - Rooke

– Tansi, Edlanet'e,

Good Day my name is Marge Nokohoo Rooke I was hired July 7th, 2008 as the MLTC Planning and Communications Coordinator, Oil and Gas Secretariat.

I am a proud Cree/Dene woman from Chipewyan Prairie First Nation Alberta (Janvier). I have a variety of work and life experience that I bring to the Secretariat; I have worked in Tourism, Banking, Aboriginal Education, Capacity Development, Band Administration, and Health Administration and have a long list of other titles. I recently moved back to Saskatchewan from Janvier AB to be closer to my Daughter and grandchildren and today make my home in the Battlefords.

I look forward too being part Oil and Gas Secretariat; it's a rare opportunity to utilize the valuable knowledge obtained in Alberta regarding the rapid expansion of the Oil and gas sector in my home community. I look forward to meeting all of MLTC First Nation Members and maybe even some family as my Grandfather and Grandmother come from this area.

Ni-nanaskomon, marsi cho and Thank You.
Marge Nokohoo Rooke

Training Coordinator

Craig Derocher is responsible for employment and training activities in the Oil and Gas Secretariat.  Upon completion of high school, Derocher went directly to work in the city of Edmonton doing construction, sleeping on the cold cement floors of his boss' house. It wasn’t too long before he realized "there has to be something else I can do with my life". That’s when he enrolled in the Power Engineering program offered at SAIT in Calgary. His first job with certificate in hand was at Cameco's Key Lake mine, but the call of Fort Mc Murray big dollars caught his attention and he spent the next 8 years there as a heavy equipment operator for an MLTC owned company. 

In 1998 Derocher took a one-year contract to be Assistant Manager of the Flying Dust FN Concrete plant, then once again was on the move to another MLTC owned business Norsask Forest Products where he was on the management team in Purchasing.
