I was invited to do some work with the youth in my second home, Waswanipi Quebec. I have been there so much in the last few years; my contacts in Waswanipi have sincerely turned in to family and friends.
Also in Waswanipi were Mervin and Carol Anne Cheechoo, the loving parents of Jonathan Cheechoo, the other pride and joy from Moose Factory. Who is the other pride and joy you ask? Isn’t it obvious?
Mervin and Carol Anne were presenting their session, Parenting with Confidence Seminar. I have known Mervin and Carol Anne for years, and they are such wonderful people. It was an honour to be in the same community while they did their workshops with the parents, I did work with the youth on being a positive part of family.
Here is Mervin and I at the radio station. We were on the air talking about our work in the community.

Gloria Jolly and I, once again, at the gathering place.
On Wednesday night, we had a cookout and all my young friends showed up. We were planning on having some games and activities as well, but I just couldn't compete with all the food. The kids and I were having so much eating, telling stories and laughing. We managed to squeeze in a few games once they were done eating.
I have always admired Waswanipi for all the events that they offer the community. It's always a pleasure to work in a community that is so dedicated to the health and wellness of their people.
Thank you my friends and family from Waswanipi.
