The Inukshuk (pronounced IN-OOK-SHOOK) meaning "in the image of man", are magnificent lifelike figures of stone which were erected by the Inuit throughout the Millennia. They stand along Canada's most northern shores, and are unique to the Canadian arctic. As we move into the third Millennium, they also stand as eternal symbols of leadership, encouraging the importance of friendship, and reminding us of our dependence on one another.

These meaningful messengers are used as directional markers on the treeless horizon guiding those who followed by pointing the way back to the Arctic Ocean. As such, they were a tool for survival, and a tangible symbol of communication - a universal means of voicing guidance and leadership.

The efforts of an entire group were required to build these massive stone sculptures. Each stone is a separate entity, each supports, and is supported by, the one above and the one below it. The strength lies in its unity.

The Inukshuk are the product of cooperation, revealing to each of us that as good as our individual efforts may be, together we can achieve even greater success.

Its significance comes from its meaning as a whole. The stones, which make up the Inukshuk, are secured through balance. They are chosen for how well they fit together. This is a fitting analogy for how Wayne works with his clients to build a portfolio suited to their particular requirements and that is why the Inukshuk was chosen as the icon for this web site.

The Inukshuk is a symbol of the human spirit. They recognize our ability to succeed with others, where we would fail alone. The Inukshuk serves as a reminder of the responsibility to invest our efforts today, towards building a better tomorrow.

These powerful stone cairns are as equally worthy of the recognition and admiration that is bestowed upon England's Stonehenge, the stone faces of Easter Island and the pyramids.
