PAGE 12 • JUNE 2016 It was another banner year for Vision Quest as yet again the organizers knocked another home run out of the park with it's 20th year in existence. Ian Cramer, the CEO of the First People's Economic Growth Fund, said, "Twenty years ago I was part of a group of four community futures organizations that got together and we were talking about what we could do to bring business people together in Manitoba. We came up with the idea of a conference that we called Vision Quest." The first conference was held in February and later moved to May. "We never thought it would last 20 years," said Kramer. "So we're just proud of anything to be part of a conference that has lasted so long. It is the longest running Aboriginal economic conference in Canada."
