Women in British Columbia are exerting their strengths.

That strength is witnessed in the relentless undertakings of the Naukana Native Women's Association in Saanichton, B.C.

Spearheaded in large part by the association's founder and executive director, Zella MacDonald, Naukana evolved to meet the previously neglected needs of First Nation's women and children victims of sexual abuse. The organization has been operating primarily through the efforts of dedicated volunteers, many of whom were abused themselves.

They liked it so much they decided to stay.

Organizers of the Canadian National Indian Golf Championships have decided to keep the tournament at Saskatchewan's Jackfish Lodge Golf and Conference Centre for one more year.

Played during the July 9-11 weekend at the scenic Jackfish Lake layout, the Indian-owned facility's quality fairways and greens were more than enough to convince organizers, says Eugene Poitras, part of the group.

Dorian takes national championship

Page R7

For the better part of three days John Dorian was a forgotten man in the final four of the golf championship flight.

That was a fatal mistake.

Dorian, 39, of Prince Albert quietly used his putter and a bag full of patience to win the Canadian National Indian Golf Championship held at Jackfish Lodge, July 11.

Two strokes behind co-leaders Allan Assance of Vancouver and Guy Lonechild of White Bear Reserve heading into the last day of the 54-hole event, Dorian watched as both leaders self-destructed in the final 18 holes.
