Visit to Golden Lake, First Nations

By Robert Animikii Horton

April 3 2009, Golden Lake First Nations

We (Karin, Caitlyn, and myself) arrived at Golden Lake First Nation from Ottawa on time and met the youth in the gymnasium as well as even coordinators. We had dinner with the group which was followed by introductions with all the youth. All attending youth were very welcoming and comfortable. They created a poster for us that welcomed us to the community.

Caitlyn, Karin and I facilitated introductions with the youth and we spoke about who inspired them. We shared our stories to these very attentive youth.

Our messages were very positive mine was to remind the youth that they are the leaders and chiefs of tomorrow. This was followed by discussions and drawings for prizes and NARMP quizzes and floor hockey :)

Farewells were very warm and we were welcomed back. I greatly enjoyed the visit and was impressed with how attentive youth were--great kids! Everything flowed and was organized well
