Page 23

Eighteen four-person teams came out to golf for a good cause despite the cold, windy weather on Sept. 7 -the second annual diabetes awareness golf scramble at the Paul First Nation.

The money goes to the Three Feathers Research Foundation, which is an extension of the Arnold J. Brant Scramble for Diabetes Golf Tournament organized by members of the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory.

The mission of the foundation is to find and support research of clinical projects directly related to health issues affecting Aboriginal people.

Healing Trail promotes diabetes awareness

Page 21

The Healing Trail program has been up and running for less than a year, but has already met and exceeded many of its goals.

The program, a three-year pilot project funded through Health Canada, was launched in June. The program is aimed at Aboriginal and Metis people in the Dryden area, but everything being done through the program is designed to be adopted and adapted by other communities.

Each project is developed, then run in the Dryden area and, if it's deemed successful,

it's made available to other communities to use.
