@NANComms @tbnewswatch I enjoyed visiting his art shop and truly admired Goyce for his leadership at NAN. He will be missed. My deepest condolences.

I’ve had the honour of meeting Chief Billy Morin on a number of occasions. He’s a remarkable young leader and will make an amazing Grand Chief. #Indigenous

Congratulations to Chief Billy Morin of the Enoch Cree First Nation for his appointment of Grand Chief of the Confederacy of Treaty Six First Nations. We look forward to continuing our relationship with the Confederacy under his leadership. #ableg

That would be great! @SportCentral_AB is amazing, they help so many kids.

It was so nice visiting the kids at Alexis Nakota Sioux Nation and chatting with the school principal Cheryl Makokis. She introduced me to each classroom and when I asked “Who would like to go riding in a new bike park?” every hand went up! Stay tuned. 🚴🏻‍♂️🚴‍♀️

What a wonderful celebration at the opening of the new school at Enoch Cree Nation. Chief Billy Morin talked about the energy flowing from all the natural light, land based teaching and the Cree language being spoken. #Culture #Indigenous #Respect

That was special! Amazing crowds, venue and artists at the 40th annual Edmonton Folk Festival. Brandi Carlyle capped off the evening with an electrifying performance and played until midnight.

Spectacular scenery on an early morning ride above the Columbia River just south of Radium BC. What a beautiful country we live in! 🇨🇦 🚲

I love attending the Enoch Cree Nation Pow Wow. It’s such a wonderful celebration of their rich culture. And it’s always an honour to chat with Chief Billy Morin. He’s an amazing young leader.

Be truthful and respectful in our speech, which in itself is a miracle and a gift from the Creator, that we might use it only to speak good of each other and pass on the good things of life.

#ProudDad It was a special family time as my daughter & I did a triathlon on Saturday. I was also fortunate to qualify in my age group for the 2020 World Sprint Championships. It’s in Edmonton so only a 20 minute drive!

[Spirit North @spiritnorthxc]

Winter may be over but our programs are still going strong! Youth across BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba are getting outdoors with Spirit North programs to discover, play and connect with nature.
