If you are from a Northern Manitoba First Nation, and like me, always wanted to learn your language but didn’t - community leader Cameron Adams has our back.

If you’ve noticed some cool new photos in my online world lately, you have the talented Travis Ross to thank for that!

Many will know from my public talks that I have had many personal encounters with suicide and that ongoing tragedy is why I work as hard as I do to create hope and change systems. Please read the full report & music video released today from the Manitoba Advocate for Children & Youth.

Since the 1500’s there has been this expression “I would die for you” that people say when they want to say how they would protect the ones they love. If you know what I truly want for you, if you know what is in my heart, you would know I don’t want you to die for me - but would you live for me?

That's the kind of teacher I want to be!
