Terrace :) I had such a wonderful time in this beautiful town of absolute serenity! I would love to thank all the organizers for putting on this much needed and successful event, I had the opportunity to meet so many amazing people really dedicate their time to working toward a healthy community.
The Salmon run was amazing I got to introduce myself before the Run commenced and share information about NAHO-- the Role Model Program. It was so exciting because the attendance was so diverse in ethnicity and age, that's sooo cool! I gave the GET READY, GET SET...GO...Seeing so many people passionate about running and fitness and overall participation and well-being was so wonderful! Frankly I was pleased to walk wit the elders in the community and opt out of the full on run..though spending time with the elders in the community was such an honour!
The Samon BBQ rock'd yummy and I was so estatic to help in the giving of medal and acknowledgements! I def would love to come back to this lovely HOCKEY town! and share in more great events.
Thanx for having me! 2010 I would love to come back!!!! Keep working on sharing in mutual interests with community members outside of the Aboriginal community. Terrace is so rich in culture and the environment is immaculate! Intergration and community building will build a healthy community!
About Me
- Bruce-Ma-Goose
- My story began when the National Aboriginal Role Model Program wanted to have a memorable impact on community members of all ages—from children to adults and elders. Traditionally, Aboriginal people relied on oral history in keeping their culture strong and forming healthy social bonds. In continuing with this tradition, the Role Models will visit Aboriginal communities to share their stories and deliver their message of encouragement. The Canada goose represents the overall message of “Lead Your Way!”
