Gree�ngs
A brief update:
I am now on the Chiefs
Commi!ee for the Union of
Ontario Indians and that I will be
a strong voice for improving
health care issues not just for
our First Na�on but for all.
Also, that I am represen�ng the
First Na�on Fire Fighters society
as we move fire safety issues
forward and advocate for
funding for training and safety
equipment.
Public Works did an excellent
job with the graveyard clean-up.
And a Chi-Meegwetch to all
families who came out to the
clean-up!
As your leaders we encourage
all of you to learn and do what
interests you and to cul�vate
the ability to think cri�cally for
yourself and to tackle the tough
jobs and challenges. As life long
learners we must con�nue to
evolve and adapt in our thinking
and views on life. We must
con�nue to learn and to surround
ourselves with bright, posi�ve and
encouraging people.
As this school year draws to an end
on behalf of Chief, Council and staff
we want to extend our
congratula�ons and well wishes to
all of our graduates and to those
who are returning to con�nue on
with your studies.
In closing, on behalf of Chief and
Council have an excellent summer,
be safe and have fun!

The Teen Youth Leadership Program
youth planned and par�cipated in an
amazing end of year celebra�on to fo-
cus on mental health and stress reduc-
�on. Nine Teen YLP youth and three
invited youth guests, accompanied by
Colleen Crowley, Kim Duguay, Beese the
Lifeguard and Henry our bus driver,
travelled to Lake Superior Provincial

for a 12 hour
day trip. The YLP youth’s goals for this
event were to enhance their mental
health and reduce stress by crea�ng an
event that allowed them to do the fol-
lowing:
☺ Spend �me in nature (forests,
lakes, beaches, waterfalls, rocky
gorges, bubbling brooks, sunshine,
baby partridges and bugs!)
☺ Par�cipate in healthy and enjoya-
ble physical ac�vity (3 hour hike at
Right to Play Youth Leadership Program News!
Orphan Lake and swimming at
Katherine Cove)
☺ Learn more about their culture
(visit to the Agawa Rock Picto-
graphs)
☺ Unplug from their technology for
several hours
☺ Enjoy a healthy lunch beside a
waterfall with their friends and
adult allies
This wonderful experience was made
possible because of the generous sup-
port of the Garden River Wellness
Centre and the Right to Play Pro-
mo�ng Life Skills for Aboriginal Youth
(PLAY) program. Miigwetch to every-
one who worked so hard to make this
event a huge success!
