Youth leading her way

Page 2

Nadine Gagne of Vancouver British Columbia was named a National Aboriginal Role Model on March 20 at a gala in Ottawa. The National Aboriginal Health Organization's Lead Your Way! program celebrates the accomplishments of First Nations, Inuit and Metis youth aged 13 to 30. Gagne works as an infant development consultant and early childhood educator for Kla-How-Eya Aboriginal Centre in Surrey.

Throughout the year, the role models will visit Aboriginal communities to share stories with other youth. Lead Your Way! inspires Aboriginal youth to strive to reach their goals.
