Collaboration - Board Member
I am sitting as a board member for 101 Experiences. The team aims to create microentrepreneurs in passion-based experiences. I am Indigenous. I represent the missing piece in the experiences being developed.
Collabortion - Committee Member
I am working with like-minded individuals in creating a year-long celebration. The Island of Moose Factory is recognizing its 350th year. I am Indigenous to the area and am very vocal in promoting the area older than 350 years. I and others have agreed with "More Than 350 Years" as a tagline and title for the large event.
