J'ai eu l'honneur d'assister à la réception de l'APN hier soir et de rencontrer la Cheffe nationale Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak et le Chef régional de la Colombie-Britannique Terry Teegee. Un dialogue constructif entre le gouvernement et les dirigeants autochtones est essentiel.

For over 50 years, families have gathered in Ladner for a community breakfast that has become a multigenerational tradition. This event is made possible by the volunteers and local businesses who plan, prepare and help keep this tradition strong.
