JOYCE GASPE, CANDIDATE FOR KAWENOKE DISTRICT CHIEF
VOTE JOYCE GASPE
On March 6, 2010 vote for Joyce Gaspe for Kawenoke District Chief.
Joyce Gaspe has been a lifelong resident of Kawenoke and is the daughter of Joseph and Nancy David Gaspe. Her siblings include Grace Barnes, Pauline Cuthand, Gordon and Russell.
Joyce completed her primary education on Kawenoke and her secondary at St. Lawrence High School in Cornwall. After graduating from high school Joyce obtained a position with Bell Canada working in Montreal and Ottawa. She retired with 31 years of service. She then worked at TJ Maxx for ten years.
Joyce's parents were involved with community politics as her father had been a band counselor and her mother was a clan mother.
Interest in community politics exploded for Joyce this past summer with the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) abandoning their post. Joyce was asked to attend a women's meeting and has not looked back since then. She has devoted many hours to the protest at the four corners. She tirelessly assisted with the cooking, picking up groceries, delivering meals, fundraising, and watching the fire to give the firekeepers a break.
Joyce has participated in many discussions concerning local politics. She has also been involved many meetings with local and area politicians concerning current issues with Kawenoke.
Attending the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal at Nav Canada this fall for Fallan Davis vs Canada Border Services Agency, has inspired her and given her the resolve that yes you can challenge the establishment. Joyce showed her committment to the tribunal by attending every session.
If you want to go for the long fight, you can be heard. You don't need to hire a lawyer. It can be done if you choose to do it!
Conquering her own personal health issues, has been done through perseverance and optimism. She is not a quitter and will use these qualities to fight for issues concerning Kawenoke. She will make decisions that are good for all of the community of Kawenoke.
With all of Joyce's life experiences and the knowledge that she has gained during the past year, she is willing to put this knowledge to work for the community of Kawenoke.
