Light up the Community Celebration

Light up the community celebration in my community has been happening for approximately 3 years.

This year was the first time that I was able to MC the event. I really enjoyed being able to announce the winners of the celebration as well as introducing the performers (St. Ambrose Youth Steppers and the St. Ambrose Métis Jiggers).

I felt very comfortable speaking in front of my community and look forward to the next event where I will be able to MC.

Adams Lake Band Career Fair

December 5, 2008. Adams Lake Band, BC

I gave a speech at the Adams Lake Indian Bands Career Fair. The delegates were high school students from the local public schools and First Nations schools.

My message to the students was to work hard and follow their dreams. I had a great time at the fair.
