As Treaty people, we take this moment to honor the lands of Treaties 4 and 6, and all they have provided to us and our families across many generations. These lands have long served as traditional meeting grounds, gathering places, and traveling routes for the Cree, Dene, Nakota, Dakota, Saulteaux, and Ojibway peoples since time immemorial. We also recognize these lands as the homeland of Métis Nation Eastern Region II.
We honor the ancestors whose footsteps have shaped these lands. We acknowledge that our use of these lands has come at a profound cost, including the impacts of colonialism and the residential school system. With this recognition, we commit to working together toward reconciliation and forging a path forward that honors the past and builds a better future for all.

Volunteer of the Month
Mr. Mielke
Mr. Mielke gets the nod this month. Many behind the scenes roles are picked up by Mr. Mielke, especially the ugly stuff nobody else wants to do, such as canteen shifts and financial reporting after events. He is also gearing up for their first ever home Jr. NBA tourney. Thank you for all the extra things and support you bring to BEARS Athletics, they do not go unnoticed.
Athletes of the Month
Zack Kirkland
Zack has been honing his badminton skills in an impressive manner. He works hard to improve and doesn’t shy away from work or a challenge. Zack is a very sportsmanlike player that brings a positive vibe to our gym. You know what they say, April showers bring May flowers and that Zac Kirkland is pretty good at badminton. Great job Zack.
Brylee Smith
Brylee Smith put together a solid showing in badminton with her partner in crime Amitiel. Brynlee’s strength, smarts and leadership can be noticed immediately as it has helped paved they way for the doubles duo to have a strong year. Being only grade 10 we are excited to see what the pair can do in the future. Nice work Brynlee.
