They shuffl e mutely throughout the city in search of food but they aren’t the brightest coins in the fountain and are par-ticularly susceptible to be-ing run over by cars. And while it might sound simi-lar to a zombie apocalypse, it’s actually just a forest tent caterpillar outbreak, a natural part of the boreal forest life cycle.

If you don’t like creepy crawly critters, you may want to mind where you look or step when you’re outside in Thompson these days, as a large number of forest tent caterpillars are inching their way across the landscape and up the sides of buildings and trees in search of suitable food sources like the leaves of the trembling aspen, also known as the white poplar.

Dr. Terry Galloway, a pro-fessor in the entomology department of the Univer-sity of Manitoba’s Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences and acting head of the department, says when the forest tent caterpillars – which are mainly dark brown with white spots and broad blue lines at ma-turity – start crossing roads and climbing walls they’re likely either getting ready to pupate or are in search of more food. At times, during particularly bad outbreaks, he said, there have been stories of trains having traction problems because the caterpillars crushed while crossing in the path of trains make the tracks so greasy and slippery.

“They’re really impres-sive when they get in that outbreak situation,” Gallo-way says.

The outbreak in Thomp-son began last year, says regional forester Bruce Holmes of Conservation Manitoba, and outbreaks in the north typically last for three years. He says the caterpillars seemed to be moving in search of new feeding areas when he was south of Thompson last week and their fl attened bodies were discolouring the pavement on Highway 6.

Forest tent caterpillar populations wax and wane over a long cycle of about 10 to 12 years in the bor-eal forest, according to the Canadian Forest Service, and forest tent caterpil-lars defoliated 14.3 million hectares of trees in 2001, which was also the year of the last recorded outbreak in Manitoba.

“Forest tent caterpillar outbreaks are part of the natural cycle of the north-

ern boreal forest and it is allowed to run its course, without control or mitiga-tion,” says Holmes.

Manitoba Conservation’s forestry branch says popu-lation is controlled by vari-ous natural factors includ-ing high population levels and late spring frosts that destroy foliage and cause mass starvation, excessive-ly high temperatures dur-ing the moth stage of the life cycle, and parasites like the fl esh fl y, which lays its eggs on forest tent caterpil-lar cocoons so maggots can burrow through the silken case to feed on the pupa in-side. Some birds also feed on the caterpillars, says Galloway. Eventually, the numbers of predators and parasites go up and then the forest tent caterpillar population crashes.

“When things are fa-vourable they build back up,” says Galloway, noting

that the cycle of caterpillar outbreaks is not entirely predictable but that when one occurs the forest tent caterpillars will eat all of the vegetation off the types of trees that they like to eat, which also include other broad-leafed decidu-ous trees and shrubs. Dur-ing a large outbreak, says Galloway, if you are out in the forest you can actually hear the frass, or insect ex-crement, raining down and hitting other vegetation on its way to the forest fl oor.

The caterpillars will probably start going into the cocoon stage sometime this week, says Holmes, and the trees they have fed on will begin growing new leaves. Generally speak-ing, even severe feeding does not kill the tree and new leaves grow back later in the season. After two or more consecutive years of severe feeding, tree health

can decline and twigs and branches may die off. Three or four years of be-ing stripped of their leaves can make trees more sus-ceptible to other insects and stem disease.

The moths that emerge in late July to early August are light brown with a 30- to 45-millimetre (11/4 to 13/4 inch) wingspan and two darker bands across the forewing. They lay 150 to 200 grey eggs in fi ve- to 15-mm wide bands that encircle twigs and may be covered with a shiny pro-tective substance called spumaline. The moth stage of the lifecycle typically lasts around fi ve to 10 days. The caterpillars de-velop within three weeks of the eggs being laid but spend the winter inside the egg and emerge in the spring when buds begin to develop on their favourite food trees.

Celebrations were in full swing during National Ab-original Day on June 21. It all started at 5 a.m. with a sunrise ceremony, and then in the afternoon after a community barbecue, the opening ceremonies hap-pened at McLean Park.

Steve Ashton, Minister of Transportation and Infra-structure and Thompson MLA, spoke about the need for this day. “I acknowledge the thousands of years of aboriginal history here in Northern Manitoba and Canada. I acknowledge the degree to which we’re still dealing with some of the colonialism, some of the oppression facing the aboriginal people.” Ashton continued on by speaking about the offi cial apology from the Manitoba Legisla-ture about the “60s Scoop.” “It’s something that should never have happened, and it’s something that will never happen again.”

Ashton fi nished off by speaking about Elijah Harper, who 25 years ago spoke to the Manitoba Legislature and said no to constitutional proposals. “I think we should rededicat-ed ourselves to the vision we saw 25 years ago, the vision we saw this week from the apology for the

60s Scoop, because so long as we see poverty, so long as we see racism, so long as we see oppression, we must fi ght for social and econom-ic justice, for all aboriginal people, in the memory of Elijah Harper, in the mem-ory of the thousands of vic-tims of the 60s Scoop, the thousands of victims of the residential schools. I say here today we celebrate Na-tional Aboriginal Day one day of the year, but I look forward to the day when in reality every day of the year is aboriginal day in Canada, that day will come.”

Niki Ashton, Church-ill MP, also spoke during the opening ceremonies. “Today we also recognize

we admit to a better future going forward, and I was honoured over the last couple of weeks to be part of the national events of the Truth and Reconcilia-tion Commission, where we heard directly from Justice [Murray] Sinclair, survivors of residential schools, that we must work together to build a better day.”

Ashton said to build a better day, a better fu-ture, residents must work together, and continue to celebrate the aboriginal culture and traditions, as well as teach them and the different languages in schools. “Today we rec-ognize in order to move forward there needs to be national leadership, there needs to be federal leader-ship, in terms of eradicating

poverty that exists in too many First Nations, and too many northern com-munities.”

Following the opening speeches an honour song for missing and murdered women was performed, as well as an honour song for children who attended resi-dential schools. There was a tribute to Elijah Harper, who said no to the Meech Lake Accord 25 years ago, because of the lack of con-sultation, and the disre-spect of the treaties and indigenous rights.

A powwow, live music, a jigging demonstration, and a square dancing demon-stration also took place.

This is the 16th year Na-tional Aboriginal Day has been celebration in the city of Thompson.HOLMEN

June 18 marked a spe-cial day for 88 students at the University College of the North (UCN) as they dressed in cap and gown, and walked across the stage to collect their dip-loma, certifi cate or degree.

The graduation, which took place in the Gordon Beard arena of the Thomp-son Regional Community Centre, brought in a lot of congratulatory messa-ges, from many different people. Konrad Jonasson, president and vice-chancel-lor, brought greetings fi rst. “What you’ve accomplished today can be owned, and it can not be taken away from you. The mandate of the University College of the North is to provide educational opportunities for aboriginal and North-ern Manitobans. I think we have done the fi rst part.”

Jonasson continued by saying he has the confi -dence that the graduates will succeed in life, because during their time at UCN they have demonstrated their will to keep going.

Stella Neff spoke on be-half of the council of elders about how important it is that Thompson students are graduating in Thomp-son now. “We are so proud

to stand in front of you and witness this event. For so many years our students went south, they graduated down south, and their fam-ilies would never all go, but you are all so lucky because you have the elders with you, your families are here, and you’re educated in the north, and can now work in the north.”

Greeting from the gov-erning council came from Dwight Botting, who spoke about how the piece of paper that graduates re-ceive would stay with them forever, and it is an accom-plishment no one can take

away from them, and for them to cherish it.

Deputy mayor Penny Byer, brought greetings on behalf of the City of Thomp-son. “I know many of you have children, and trying to struggle getting children to daycare, or helping them with homework, while you have your own assignment, or maybe there was an ill-ness, or maybe you weren’t feeling well. You had to overcome so many things, with being a parent, and being a student.”

The valedictory address came from Melynda Eh-man, who graduated from

the offi ce assistant pro-gram, through the Faculty of Arts, Business and Sci-ences. Ehman was chosen as valedictorian because of her high GPA, her dedica-tion to studies, as well as helping others as a peer teacher, and a tutor.

Ehman moved to Thomp-son two years ago, and dur-ing her speech she thanked her boyfriend, her family, and teachers for helping her get to this point in life. “It has been a long and de-

Out&About

The need to explore

It’s been said that the world is a book, and if you don’t travel

you’ve only read one page. The need to explore and see the world is in the blood of a lot of people, which then creates a happier person.

Personally I’ve had the opportunity to move around a lot as a kid, and I say op-portunity because it’s bene-fi tted me to great amounts. My mom has a gypsy soul, and is ready to pack up at any given moment for a new adventure, and I’ve inherited that from her, resulting in me being here in Thompson, halfway across the country from my family and friends.

When you travel you learn a little more about yourself, about the world we live in, and your soul grows bigger. You become ready for more adventures, more experiences. Here are fi ve reasons why travelling is so important for a person during their time on this earth.

1. It makes you a happier person: Travelling to a new space will create a sense of wonder in a person, ready to explore and grow as a person. Your mental well-being will change from what you’re used to, and you’ll notice you’re smiling more, and excited to fi nd out what’s out there to see.

2. You’re expanding your knowledge: When you go somewhere you’ve never been before you will learn some-thing. It could be that you’re learning the history of the place you’re visiting, or it could be that you’re learning new things about yourself. What you’re comfortable with, what you’re willing to do during a new opportunity. Any type of learning will expand your mind, and expand your knowledge, which you can then use in the future.

3. New friendships are formed: When you travel, espe-cially alone, you are destined to meet someone new. Wheth-er that be meeting a local and asking where the closest café is, or whether it’s meeting someone else on holiday, from the same country as you, you’re going to remember these encounters, and who knows, maybe a new best friend, or travel buddy could be formed!

4. You open your eyes: During a new experience I’ve no-ticed that I open my eyes a lot wider, and acknowledge how big this world really is, and how different places are from other places. You learn about new cultures, new traditions, and new ways of life. You get out of your normal day-to-day routine, and you see the world again, in an innocent childlike way.

5. You put down your phone: The world has become such a digital world, and when you travel, I believe that you get so excited to what you’re seeing you forget about your nor-mal life, and you just exist in a travelling mindset, which helps you put down your phone. People document trips with their phones, videos, and pictures, but I personally notice myself not scrolling through Facebook or Instagram be-cause I remember it’s still going to be there when I’m fi n-ished travelling, but what isn’t going to be there when I’m back home scrolling is what I’m experiencing in front of me, during that moment.

Travelling can cure depression; it can cure the bored feel-ing some people get in their lives. It will create a new sense of meaning for life, and it is its own type of medicine. If you’re feeling blue, travel. It doesn’t have to be across the globe, it could just be down a street you’ve never been down, or to a community you’ve passed but never driven though.

Constantly going somewhere you haven’t explored yet will help revive your life, and you’ll notice different thoughts in your mind, and your soul will grow, and the need to travel more and more will seep into your head, which then will help you create a better version of you.

Whirlwind week of old memories and new

What a whirl-wind week! Dinner theatre

in Thompson June 12 was a hoot but for some of us theatre lovers we wanted more! So, the morning after our Thompson Play-house performance a few of us gals took off to Win-nipeg for a girls’ week-end. We gathered up a few more girls in the city and enjoyed more live the-atre, this time as audience members. It was great fun and I hope to have more girls’ weekends. A trip to New York could be in the works so I’ll have to start saving now.

I didn’t realize how badly I needed the relaxa-tion time even though we

barely sat for a moment, other than watching the new movie Spy. (You have to see it!) And what’s a girls’ weekend without desserts and a few glasses of bubbly? Our fi nal night in the city was spent up close to Shania Twain and even though it was a shock to see her as a blonde, we enjoyed an amazing con-cert. Thanks girlfriends for an amazing weekend!

One of my forever friends that I grew up with in Thompson who moved away in 1980 after

graduation also joined us in Winnipeg and then she came back to Thompson for a visit. Keeping in tune with the title of my column, Karen and I were “out and about” all over town for the entire week. Mostly, I dragged her around while I emceed stage shows and hosted talent show at Nick-el Days, which she and her daughter thought proved Thompson to have lots of talent. Karen and Amanda also had the pleasure of a Spirit Way tour hosted by Volker Beckmann. They

loved the museum and fi nding an old phone book with the Andresen’s num-ber listed from the 1960s. We also got to visit her old house where the resi-dents of the house kindly let us look around which brought back wonderful memories.

This past week was fi lled with old memories and making new ones. I truly value friendships and feel blessed to have all of you in my life. Thanks for the laughs and I hope to share many more!

MIPS is a non-profi t organization that started in 2004 that works as an advo-cacy group. “We work with regulatory bodies but we are not a watchdog. We do not deal with complaints from the public regarding healthcare experiences. What we are is a advocacy organization, to help people advocate for themselves through health care, and to talk about concerns regarding health and care,” explained Widmeyer.

Widmeyer is hoping to get the mes-sage of vigilance out to Thompson, and for people to not be frightened to ask questions to health care professionals. Patients are harmed in the health care system. A study, which was done in 2000 by Dr. Ross Baker and Associates, stated that eight per cent of deaths were preventable hospital deaths. Widmeyer says the numbers have been consistent since then.

Citizens can learn to become vigi-

lant in many different ways, Widmeyer noted. People fi rst must engage in the health care system and ask questions. The top three questions that need to be asked are: what is my health prob-lem, what do I need to do, and why do I need to do this? Another good way to be aware is to fi nd an advocate. An ad-vocate can be a friend or family member who comes to doctor’s appointments, who are able to ask questions, and write the answers down. They are also avail-able to offer support.

The fi nal way to be vigilant is to keep a health history. Widmeyer sug-gests writing all appointments down in a book, with dates, times, and results, and to have this information available when seeing another doctor.

MIPS also has E.R.I.K forms which are available on www.safetoask.ca. These forms allow a person to write down all medications, medical history, and health card and insurance information. These forms should be kept on a person all the time, or on the fridge in case of an emer-gency.

MIPS is also looking for a Thompson person to become a volunteer for the or-ganization to serve the north. This per-son would help advocate for the organ-ization as well as patients’ rights and responsibilities.

Being aware of the health care system saves lives, says Manitoba Institute

for Patient Safety

UCN graduationContinued from Page 3-manding journey. We’ve had some of the best mo-ments of our lives, and some moments we hope we could forget.

Xavier York, a student at Westwood Elemen-tary School, has won the Aboriginal Arts & Stor-ies emerging artist award for 2015. The 14-year-old was recognized for his drawing of himself, at a younger age grass dancing. The Aboriginal Arts & Stories competi-tion gives First Nations, Métis and Inuit artists the oppritunity to showcase their culture and heritage through written or visual art. This year there were more than 500 submis-sions from all across the country.

York taught himself to grass dance by watching others during powwows, and says it’s a very im-portant part of his life.

Another important part of his life is drawing and creating art, says his mother Catherine York. “I’m proud of him. He’s been drawing since he was a little child.” York went on to explain that when her son was young-er he had troubles with speech and hearing. Dur-ing an assessment before

he started school, it was said that his drawing was already at a Grade 3 level.

York hopes to create art for the rest of his life, and winning this award will

help keep up his motiva-tion. “I love drawing be-cause I’m pretty good at it. I like how it looks, and it makes me feel. It felt good to win. I was very proud.”

Right now York is fo-cusing on drawing with a pencil, but is hoping to get more into painting. His next drawing will be of his father and himself.

Former Thompsonite and competitive fi gure skater Martin Nickel is embarking on a new challenge this August as one of 40 young Canadians travelling to China as part of Global Vi-sion’s junior Team Canada trade mission.

Nickel, who moved to On-tario when he was 16 to pursue higher-level training in competitive fi gure skating – he was in the top 10 at the Skate Canadian national cham-pionships in ice dance in 2011 and in junior ice dance the previous two years – is now a fourth-year m e c h a n i c a l engineer ing student at the University of Guelph. His father, Georg Nickel, own Multicrete Sys-tems Inc.

N i c k e l , whose focus during the mission will include deliv-ering mandates from various organizations in Northern Manitoba, says participating in the trade mission will be a stepping stone from uni-

versity into the real world and is seeking to work with organizations from Thomp-son and the surrounding area, exchanging informa-tion, research, contacts and connections in the Chinese marketplace for fi nancial contributions to support his mission. Like all other par-

ticipants in Global Vision’s junior Team Canada trade mission, Nickel must raise $5,500 – half the cost of his

trip – to participate.“The opportunities I had

growing up were due, in large part, to the support I received from my commun-ity and region,” says Nick-el. “Because of this, I easily developed a sense of pride for my home province. Now I have to opportunity

to showcase it on a global scale and use it to explore how connections with such a powerful country could

positively impact my north-ern home region.”

Nickel and the other participants in the trade mission, which focuses on building connections between Canadian and Chinese business, govern-ment, community and cul-tural organizations, were

s e l e c t e d from hun-dreds of eli-gible partici-pants who were part of Global Vi-sion’s na-tional re-c r u i t m e n t and outreach campaign.

Global Vi-sion is a na-tional not-f o r - p r o f i t cha r i t ab l e o r g a n i z a -tion found-ed in 1991 by former Member of Parliament Terry Clif-ford that p r o v i d e s Canadians aged 16 to 25 inter-n a t i o n a l experience representing C a n a d a a b r o a d t h r o u g h junior Team

Canada, which has trav-elled to 35 countries on six continents since its in-ception.

ALL FARMERS KNOW DECISIONS are made in the field. Imagine a place, an event, created to empower farmers by providing the information they need to make these important decisions. A place where they can see the latest equipment in action, in the field – operating in the same environment it’s made for. A place where farmers can see multiple varieties of live crop plots growing side by side in the field.

This summer, such a place will exist. Introducing Ag in Motion, Western Canada’s newest and only outdoor farm expo. Debuting July 21 to 23, on a half-section (320 acres) near Saskatoon, SK, it’s the only show that provides an outdoor venue for progressive farmers in Western Canada that want to see and experience the latest agricultural innovation, all in one place. Ag in Motion will feature field equipment demonstrations, live crop plots and interactive exhibits such as “ride and drives” and smaller equipment demos.

“Ag in Motion will offer farmers a unique opportunity to compare crop plots and machinery, in action, and ultimately help them make decisions about the best products for their operations,” says Show Director Rob O’Connor. “There’s nowhere else in Western Canada where farmers can actually see multiple pieces of farm equipment in operation, take a test drive, or compare different crop varieties all in one place.”

What does an outdoor show look like?The Ag in Motion team brings together the expertise of seasoned farm show organizers.

The Expo is operated by Glacier FarmMedia, who owns Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show, the country’s largest outdoor farm show held annually near Woodstock, Ontario. Also part of Glacier FarmMedia are Western Producer, Manitoba Co-operator, Grainews, Country Guide, Canadian Cattlemen, Alberta Farmer Express and AgDealer. The team knows what’s involved in delivering an outdoor show, and the potential such a venue provides.

Now in its 22nd year, Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show delivers 750 exhibitors and 42,000 visitors each year. Most attendees come to see the newest technologies in agriculture. Its success is based on the fact that active farmers attend to do business – make decisions – and the show is dedicated solely to agricultural products, equipment and services.

Ag in Motion is applying the same model and will become a must-see event by showcasing cutting-edge agricultural advancements that empower Canadian farmers to help meet their goals in producing high quality, safe food in a competitive marketplace.

To learn more about how an outdoor show looks and operates, view the videos on the Ag in Motion website, www.aginmotion.ca.

Live Demos and Interactive ExhibitsThe number of Ag in Motion exhibitors is growing steadily each week and includes seed and crop protection companies, field equipment and livestock handling manufacturers, financial services, nutrition, baling products, tires, fertilizers and much more.

King Miner retains his crownBY IAN [email protected]

The reign of Brian Woyt-kiw as the champion of the National King Miner contest extended into its seventh year at Nickel Days June 20-21, as the perennial top fi nisher collected the $2,000 grand prize as well as a share of the $1,000 prize in the team event with Josh Forest, Charley Labon-te and Tyrell Hall.

Woytkiw also took home two cash prizes of $500 for winning the crib building and ladder climbing events, $300 for coming in second in pipe fi tting and $200 each for fi nishing third in stoper drilling, hose mend-ing, nail driving and steel packing.

Other top-four fi nishers in individual events includ-ed Frank Forest, who was fourth in jackleg drilling, third in bolting and second in stoper drilling and steel packing, while Scott Ken-nedy was fi rst in log saw-ing, steel packing and hand

mucking, second in ladder climibing and crib building and fourth in pipe fi tting. Glenn Hayden was second in jackleg drilling and bolt-ing, third in log sawing and fourth in ladder climbing and hand mucking while Troy Martin was fourth in crib building and fi rst in nail driving.

Frank Bushby was fourth in log sawing and Jason Stykalo was second in log sawing and third in ladder climbing. Richard Patter-son was fourth in bolting, Michael Thibadeau was fourth in nail driving and Labonte was second in nail driving.

Saunders competing in

racquetball at Pan Am

Games next monthBY IAN [email protected]

Former Thompsonite Jennifer Saunders was one of eight athletes se-lected June 17 to repre-sent Canada in racquet-ball at the 2015 Pan American Games in To-ronto from July 10-26.

It will be the third time in her career that Saun-ders has represented Canada in the Pan Am Games. This is the fi fth time that racquetball has been a Pan Am Games sport after making its debut in 1995. Canada has won 13 medals – six silver and seven bronze – in racquetball in past Pan Am Games, but has never captured a gold.

“A Pan Am Games medal is the only thing missing from my rac-quetball accomplish-

ments,” said Saunders in a press release announ-cing the team. “I can’t think of a better time or place to win one than at our home Pan Am Games in Toronto this summer. I cannot wait for this in-credible opportunity.”

Pan Am Games racquet-ball includes six events: men’s singles, women’s singles, men’s doubles, women’s doubles, men’s team and women’s team. The singles and doubles athletes play as a team, competing in two singles matches and one doubles match against other countries.

Saunders fell one win short in her quest for a seventh-straight women’s national rac-quetball title in Burnaby May 23, falling 7-15, 7-15 to Frédérique Lam-

bert of Montreal in the fi nal.

Earlier that week, Saunders, who now lives in Winnipeg, made Can-adian racquetball his-tory when she won the women’s doubles title with her partner Danielle Drury of Saskatoon. That was Saunders’s 11th na-tional women’s doubles title and, combined with her eight singles cham-pionships, gave her a record-setting 19th ca-reer women’s racquet-ball title. It was the fi rst time she won a title with Drury.

Drury and Saun-ders, who was named to Thompson’s sports Wall of Fame in March, went 4-0 in the fi ve-team women’s doubles round robin to claim the na-tional championship.

Imagine doing research in some of the top sci-ence labs in the country. This is exactly what four Grade 11 students from Thompson got to do from June 1-5. Kelsey Carriere, Victoria Hickes, Bran-don Nowlin and Thomas Nowlin from R.D. Parker Collegiate received schol-arships to spend a week at the University of Mani-toba doing hands-on sci-ence research. As a result of this experience they could be on their way to fulfi lling careers in the fi eld of science.

These successful appli-cants to the Verna J. Kirk-ness Science and Engin-eering Program travelled to Winnipeg along with 41 other First Nation, Métis and Inuit students from across Canada to partici-pate in this informative and inspiring educational opportunity. The program aims to increase the num-ber of indigenous students graduating from science and engineering programs in Canada. The scholar-ships were awarded based on demonstrated interest in exploring the sciences as a career option, and through recommenda-tions from their teachers. The program provided an excellent opportunity to experience science at the university level and to network with other stu-dents of similar interests.

In their applications each of the students ex-pressed a passion for the sciences as well as the goal of attaining a univer-sity degree. Kelsey said that she wants to keep her future options open, “as I would like to have some post-secondary ex-perience before fi nalizing my choice of a career.” For Victoria, “Biology is my favourite subject. My dream is to go to univer-sity to become a nurse or possibly a nurse practi-tioner.” Brandon is work-ing hard to prepare for university as he notes “I am enrolled in pre-calcu-lus math, English, phys-ics, band, and jazz band.” His twin brother, Thomas, explains that he has “al-ways had an interest in

science, but only recently have I been considering a potential career in chem-istry. I am planning on go-ing to University of Mani-toba after high school, so this program would give me insight in to what uni-versity will be like. Chem-istry has always been my favourite school subject and being able to have the chance to work with experienced professionals will benefi t me greatly.”

In addition to doing ac-tual research with some of Canada’s most accom-plished and renowned scientists, these students had the opportunity to experience living on cam-pus. Through this experi-ence, they came to real-ize that university is not necessarily a foreign en-vironment, but an exten-sion of their learning and a place where they can feel a sense of belonging.

Dr. Ron Woznow, chair of the Verna J. Kirkness board of directors, ex-plained that “not only will the students themselves develop new skills and knowledge during their internships, but they’ll also take their experiences and new knowledge back

to their communities.” The program is being run in honour and with the support of Dr. Verna J. Kirkness, a member of the Order of Canada and life-long advocate of aborig-inal education. “Education is the key to the future of our young aboriginal people and an opportunity to be a science researcher for a week is an exciting and meaningful connec-tion to the broad world of science,” said Kirkness. “As the program becomes known, it will motivate our youth to consider sci-ence as an inspiring fi eld of study.”

In total, 54 students selected from Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Nunavut and British Columbia were placed in science labs at the University of Mani-toba or University of Sas-katchewan, and in 2016 the University of Brit-ish Columbia will be on board to host a group of students as well. Read-ers can go to www.ver-najkirkness.org for more information about the foundation.

Arlette Raaen is a vol-unteer with the Verna Kirkness Foundation.
