When I leave a community usually I get dropped off and jump on the plane and head for home. Nothing could have prepared me for how my friends in Wasaganish did for when when I left.
What a bunch of sweethearts, they went out of their way to prepare these thoughtful signs for me. I was really touched by the affection I received from the community.
Cathy and Cobra came up to me and said I have to kiss a fish, a traditional Waskaganish send off. And since I never say no to a kiss, I just had to. The sign I'm holding is like Moose Factory's version of "Jestug."
They like me, they really like me!!
On the radio, they made some dedications for me. The first was White Lion , Farewell to You and second one was Sammy Kershaw, If you ever come this way again. Just another reason why I found it difficult to leave.
Here is a shot with the Youth Coucil, and Dr. Joseph Jolly. Dr. Joe was facilitating workshops and individual session on Grief and Loss. I admire that man so much, he helps so many of our people heal and overcome their grief. This was taken the night before, at the closing ceremonies.
