Am away in Saskatoon all this week shooting more Aboriginal Role Model profiles for the Edwards School of Business http://www.thisisyourfuture.ca/ So I have found a moment to catch up.
On June 18th it was a news conference with the Winnipeg Police Service to announce the winners of the Youth Video Contest. In all we had 30 entries and some amazing Just Slow Down messages. You can view them all at http://www.justslowdown.ca/ . I think you'll be impressed. Snapped pics of the winners with Chief Keith McCaskill, Manda and I with the Chief and our core JSD "team" of Staff Sargeant Mark Hodgson, Steve West, Manager, Issues Management, Manda and me.
Later in the day, Shaun gave a big presentation at the Warehouse Theatre on as part of his Leadership Winnipeg program through the Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce. This extensive program takes young, future Winnipeg leaders and exposes them to all sorts of issues and opportunities facing the City. Shaun's group presented on Sustainability. Other groups spoke about Revitalizing Downtown, Arts & Culture, the effects of the new Human Rights Museum, and other topics.
For me it was off to Fargo for a soccer tournament with my daughter Shea and then a quick (or so I thought) jaunt to Saskatoon. Plane cancelled due to malfunction in Denver and a 7 hour wait at the Denver airport. But I'm here now and things are going swimmingly.
