Karen spoke at Windsor Park Collegiate Today

While I was traveling up north, Karen spoke to the students at Windsor Park Collegiate.

Floyd flies up to St. Theresa's Point.








Well I just got off the RCMP plane and helicopter from St. Theresa Point. 
The MKO Northern Manitoba Chiefs were all meeting for a conference called Chiefs General Assembly on Illicit Use of Drugs & Associated Gang Activity.

I spoke to the general assembly this afternoon about the TJ's Gift Foundation's Soaring Eagles Conference in September.

After my presentation, the entire room gave me a standing ovation and each Chief in the room including Grand Chief Ron Evans and Grand Chief Dr. Sydney Garrioch came over to the podium shook my hand and gave me a huge hug. Stu Evans, the RCMP that was with me said that he had never witnessed anything like that before.

I never expected this at all. It was simply amazing. I know that they will all be sending their children to our conference.

Chief Ron Evans pulled me aside and told me that he wants to work closely with me.

Very exciting...

Marion School

Today I spoke to Grades 4-8 at Marion School. I've never spoken to
such young kids as this but I didn't change anything at all. They also
needed to hear how bad things can get. They were however full of
questions.

West Kildonan Collegiate

Just left WKC after speaking about the legal system. Also spoke about
how simple decisions can affect the rest of their lives, even murder.

Speaking to Law Class

I am speaking to West Kildonan Collegiate students today. The Law class teacher asked me to speak to his students about my experiences in the legal system. Considering I spent 11 months in court, I have a lot of experience, unfortunately. 11 months, Monday to Friday... This was spread out over a period of three years mind you, but still mind boggling...
