I am incredibly honoured to receive this year's Chief David Crowchild Memorial Award.
I would like to express my gratitude to Vera Marie Crowchild, Chief Lee Crowchild, the individuals who nominated me, the CAUAC Committee, my family, colleagues, and friends.
Also, congratulations to Danika Labelle, the deserving youth recipient.
Thank you all for your support.
