I would like to take this time to acknowledge the Dreamcatcher Charitable foundation, having supported my oldest son Bryce Addington Simon in his first year of organized hockey where he played tyke with the Sarnia Minor Hockey Association, and for my second son that has been second to non, Blake Douglas Simon who joined the instructional players every Saturday morning 7:00. This experience for them has been a great op- portunity to help grow their young minds with important values such as sportsmanship, the ability to be proud of the game that they played, but also happy for the chance to play the opposite team. Going to practice taught Bryce And Blake commitment, being there on time helped them to learn punctuality. So, thank you Dream Catcher Foundation, looking foreword to next season.

Other presenters: Kim Henry, Roger Williams, Christy Bressette, JoAnn Henry, Nick Bertrand, Zandra Bear-Lowen, Joseph “Ponchie” Plain, Eddie Taylor, and Mike Plain
Contributing Elders: Pauline Williams, Geraldine Robertson, Susie Jones, Sylvia Deleary
There were two panel discussions: Understanding Indigenous Education in Canada, and Support- ing Educators Practically: Insights and Practical Examples shared on the Importance of Relation- ships between the LKDSB and the Indigenous Liaison Committee.
