On Sept 2, the RCMP welcomed four Aboriginal men onto the force. Darrell Stranger, David Aglukart, Brian Harris and Chris Rothecker were also participants in the Aboriginal Cadet Development Program.

The program is aimed at assisting Aboriginal people who may not meet the RCMP minimum requirements. Disadvantages in various aspects include: driver training, education and/or physical ability. These drawbacks are due, in large part, to the isolated areas in which Native people live and their inaccessibility to academic and other facilities.

Kisani Frechette is an Ontario girl who has the call of the wild.

Frechette, from Atikokan in northwestern Ontario, recently won the coveted loon calling trophy at Loon Days in Mercer, Wisconsin.

Frechette was the only Canadian entry in the national event and took first place in her age category and first place over all.

Frechette is only 10 years old, but is already a seasoned mimic of the wilderness' most noted birdcall, said her dad, Glen Nolan.
