Take 26,000 boxes of cold cereal, sprinkle with 20 pounds of brown sugar, and add 50,000 25-millilitre cartons of milk. Set on the table 50 cases (100 per case) of peanut butter, strawberry jam, honey and Chez Whiz and 200 cases of syrup (120 per case).

There you have a winning recipe for more than 4,000 junior athletes, coaches and officials participating in the 1993 North American Indigenous Games running in Prince Albert July 18-25. If those numbers are staggering, they're just the tip of the iceberg lettuce.
