Biographical history
Emile Gautreau worked for the Canadian Forestry Service in the NWT from 1963 to 1969. He and his wife Evalyn lived in Calgary and Behchoko during this time and spent time in other communities in the NWT. They became friends with local Dene people and with the Grey Nuns and got involved in cultural exchange activities, including promoting Dene crafts to people in Calgary, organizing donations of used clothing to send to the NWT, and organizing a field trip for Dene children to Calgary. Emile received a Canadian Centennial Medal in 1967 for his work with the Dene people.
