Many who have spent time growing up in the tri-community area and then moved on, got their initial start in life through some of the things the area had to offer. For former resident, D’Arcy Lussier, this was no different. His family was well-known in the area for their roles in education, and it was no surprise that Lussier, himself, would become passionate about knowledge, but on a different level.
“My parents met in The Pas when they both taught at MBCI in the early 1970s,” said Lussier. “We moved back in 1985, when my Dad took a position as a Dean of Keewatin Community College, now known as UCN. In 1987, he became the president of the college for four years and then was a vice principal at Joe A. Ross school from 1991 to 1993. In the summer of 1993, we moved to Winnipeg.”
Lussier’s interest in technology started at an early age when his family was living in The Pas. Over the years, that grew into a need to learn more at a post-secondary level.
“I didn't think of a career in IT until I started looking into career choices a few years after being done with high school,” said Lussier.
