My speech on Victoria Island, I've been told, was the fastest request for a role model: the day after the announcement of the role role model(s).
Although it was short, five minutes long, I feel I've made an impact on a lot of the audience.
One exciting part is two of the members of the audience were from the same place I came from! (Haida Gwaii). The day before that we toured RCMP Headquarters and one of the sergeants was Haida as well!
All in all I enjoy my short time on Victoria Island!

Ouje-Bougoumou Graduation - Magic of the Future
By Heather Watts
June 15 2009 Ouje-Bougoumou, QC
Visiting Ouje-Bougoumou was an experience I will not forget. I was greeted and welcomed into the community by so many warm smiles. This community is very small compared to my own and I admired the sense of inter-connectedness between all of the people. Everyone seemed to know everyone and they all came together to put on an amazing graduation for the Grade 6 students at Waapihtiiwewan School. The gym was decorated so beautifully and all of the graduates looked awesome! I felt so great delivering my speech and I even had the pleasure of sitting with the Chief of Ouje-Bougoumou during the graduation. It really amazed me how well the community worked together to put on a memorable event for the Grade 6 students. I truly admire this community and I am so glad I had the opportunity to meet same very inspirational people.
Nya:wen!
Thank you!

"Reaching For You"

June 11 2009 Cross Lake, MB
I had a great visit! It was a lot of work, but the kids were very responsive. They asked many questions and loved the prizes and quizzes. I spoke to grades 5,6,7,8-- about 20-30 kids per group or more--they had a lot of fun and were very respectful. They loved that I am from Cross Lake.
