Acknowledgements
We thank and acknowledge the youth from Moosomin, Mosquito, Red Pheasant, Sweetgrass, Poundmaker, and Little Pine First Nations. They helped in guiding this program and bringing it to fruition. They continuously keep us on our toes, keeping ideas fresh, and willing to give their input. We also need to thank the management of BRT6HC for their support and patience. Finally, we would like to thank the staff that have left their legacy however are no longer with our program but were an integral part of creating its foundation.
