Wow. Just wow. Think of Canadian history as it relates to Indigenous people. Think of violence against Indigenous women, missing and murdered indigenous women and girls. I'm going to ignore the notification for a second. Think of the history. Think of child welfare agencies and the taking of indigenous children. Not so different from the residential school area era and the 60s. Scoop. I am here in Kenora to assist VAW violence against women agencies to come up with the new form of their agreement with the child welfare agencies. Considering the history, it could have been so tense, so volatile and instead, once again I am blessed to be in a room of dedicated hard working professionals that are giving their all front line to tackle some of the biggest issues there that there is. And they're doing it with class and they're doing it with humor and they're doing it with heart. And I am so thrilled to be here. Want to know what my job is like? This is what my job is like. Wow. Just wow. We're done for today. We do it all again tomorrow. Creator. Thank you.
