George DeLongchamp Maintenance Supervisor George Delongchamp is the Maintenance Supervisor of Native People of Sudbury Development Corporation. George was born in Sudbury and moved to Red Lake in Northwestern Ontario when he was 22 to work at the Griffith Mine open pit operation. During the twenty years he lived in Red Lake, George developed an appreciation for nature while working on the large drill rigs and driving the massive open pit haulage trucks. The lakes bordering the mine were havens for animals like moose, bears and wolves. In fact, nature was so close that George recounts "throwing snowballs at some young and playful wolves" on occasion. He enjoyed capturing the wildlife on film while at the same time honing his photography skills and adding to his impressive portfolio of photographs. George later became involved in the tourist industry as a hunting and fishing guide. He also managed a remote fly-in tourist operation in the far north for several years. At the close of hunting season, George would travel to work at other remote mines in Canada's north, including Golden Giant Mine in Yellowknife, Eldorado Nuclear in northern Saskatchewan, and Thelon River Expeditions in Hay River, Northwest Territories. George also worked as a commercial and residential landlord during his sojourn in Red Lake. During his last year there, he maintained the many townhouse complexes and senior's residences managed by the West Kenora Housing Authority. During the latter part of George's stay in Red Lake, he met his wife Wilma and they married on Vancouver Island by the ocean at the renowned McLure House. They began to raise their family and eventually moved to Sudbury to be closer to schools, colleges and universities. Within a year of returning, the couples' fourth and youngest child, Celeste, was born at home in Sudbury with the assistance of midwives. This led to George's wife, Wilma, eventually becoming a Doula (birthing assistant) herself, and to immersing herself in nursing studies at Laurentian University. George enjoys the outdoors and yearns to someday travel the famous Thelon River Sanctuary in the arctic, and Lake Athabasca in north Saskatchewn and the Northwest Territories. He takes delight in spending time with his family and encourages his children, Johanna, Christopher, Danielle and Celeste to develop their minds and newfound hobbies of collecting leaves, flowers, seeds, rocks, computer games and Nintendo cards.
