By looking back at the unbridled enthusiasm of our youth and contrasting to what we do every day in high school, stark contrasts emerge. Ian looks at how we “statistically” spend our lives and whether that is in fact, living. While not advocating blind optimism; Ian instead looks at a more complete understanding; that while life can throw us curve balls – everyone can get through it with perseverance and the right attitude. By citing humorous personal examples to overcome this, and giving hands on tips, Ian shows how letting go of negativity can really improve our outlook. Capitalizing on his trademark style of storytelling with wit and wisdom intertwined, this presentation will leave audiences with a new mantra for life “Hooray For Everything!” Website links: http://ylcc.com/training-centres http://ylcc.com/training-centres/see-us-action/ylcc-lake-simcoe Polish Academy of Canada - 2018 Huron Heights Secondary School & Billeting Experience Polish Academy of Canada - 2018 Website Links: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=13&v=BExwH3UUyNs http://huskyleadership.weebly.com/ https://hrh.wrdsb.ca/ Respecting First Nationals Cultural Diversity in Canada Why the meeting with the First Nations of Canada? Not recognizing the cultural diversity of Aboriginal Peoples in Canada is one of the most common mistakes non-Aboriginal people make when engaging with Aboriginal communities and visiting Canada. Justin Trudeau (Prime Minister of Canada) “Every year, we […] recognize the fundamental contributions that First Nations, Inuit, and the Métis Nation have made to the identity and culture of all Canadians. The history, art, traditions, and cultures of Indigenous Peoples have shaped our past, and continue to shape who we are today.” “No relationship is more important to Canada than the relationship with Indigenous Peoples. Our Government is working together with Indigenous Peoples to build a nation-to-nation, Inuit-Crown, government-to-government relationship – one based on respect, partnership, and recognition of rights. “We are determined to make a real difference in the lives of Indigenous Peoples – by closing socio-economic gaps, supporting greater self-determination, and establishing opportunities to work together on shared priorities.” Polish Academy of Canada - 2018 Website Links: https://pm.gc.ca/eng/video/2017/11/01/pm-trudeau-delivers-remarks-canada-modern-treaty-and- self-governing-first-nations Dan and Mary Lou Smoke are available at the Aboriginal Resource Centre to provide personal consultation, conversation, guidance and mentorship to First Nations, Métis & Inuit students and the campus community. Mary Lou is very knowledgeable about the arts and traditional indigenous knowledge systems. She has been singing traditionally in many sacred ceremonies and lodges throughout North America. She also possesses great wisdom for women's teachings. Dan has been working with traditional knowledge carriers from many Nations which include: Cayuga, Seneca, Oneida, Mohawk, Tuscarora, and Onondaga Nations of the Haudenosaunee. He has also been working with the Ojibway Medicine Man Isaac Day to learn the pipe and the fasting ceremonies. His knowledge of protocols for men and their roles and responsibility is one of respect for gender relations.
