Canadian Heritage Minister Sheila Copps handed out a cheque at Brantford's Pine Tree Native Friendship Centre on Oct. 11; the minister told this publication it won't be the last.

Interim funding of $898,992 was announced by the minister. The funds will assist with the delivery of programs. Eighteen friendship centres across the country will receive about $50,000 each. In Saskatchewan, those funds will be going to friendship centres in Ile a la Crosse and La Loche.

"Human potential is something that is in everybody. It is a critical asset that sits inside and waits to be tapped."

These words were spoken by Alwyn Morris, the keynote speaker at the 4th Annual Aboriginal Youth Awards of Excellence, which took place at Saskatoon's Centennial Auditorium on Oct. 26. Morris certainly knows a thing or two about potential. As a Mohawk, he won gold and bronze medals as a part of Canada's 1984 Olympic team.
