Canucks sneak Stanley Cup opener
Diversity Reporter Wire Service VANCOUVER — Vancouver’s Raffi Torres scored the only goal with 18.5 seconds remaining in Wednesday’s third period to give the Canucks a 1-0 victory over Boston in game one of the NHL
Stanley Cup Final. Vancouver goaltender Roberto Luongo made 36 saves for his third shutout of this year’s playoffs as the Canucks seized the lead in the best-of-seven title series ahead of game two, which will be played Saturday at Vancouver.
“It was great,” Luongo said. “I thought we were going to play all night the way it was going. It was a huge goal in the final seconds late. It was a great way to start off the series. Continued on page 2.

Veteran actor Dharmendra will perform alongside his sons, Sunny and Bobby Deol. Chopra will also perform before a capacity audience at Rogers Centre. The film, which is a sequel to the 2007 hit Dhamaal, stars Sanjay Dutt, Ritesh Deshmukh, Kangna Ranaut, Mallika Sherawat, Arshad Warsi, Javed Jaaferi and Ashish Chaudhary.
The comedy is produced by Indra Kumar and Ashok Thakeria in association with Reliance Entertainment. The stars and crew were present at the press conference in Mumbai to announce the film’s premiere in Canada. The IIFA Awards will be a special
treat for cinema lovers, a thoroughly entertaining performance straight from the heart of Punjab will be put on by Indian Cinema actor, Dharmendra and his two sons, Sunny and Bobby Deol. The three, having never performed together on the same stage, will make it an even more thrilling act for fans to look forward to as they groove to the music from their recent hit, Yamla Pagla Deewana.
“IIFA is the most respected Awards and the glamorous presentation ceremony is something I look forward to every year. This year will be particularly special for me, as I will be performing with my sons for the first time on a live stage. We hope our fans in Canada enjoy it,” said
Dharmendraji. Priyanka Chopra called the International film awards an “exhilarating platform for any performer.” “Toronto is going to be unbelievable with over 12,000 screaming fans in attendance. “It is a great opportunity for me, personally, to represent Indian cinema on such a large and international scale. I’m sure that this year’s IIFA is going to be a phenomenal success as it ventures into North America.” The CIBC presents IIFA Celebrations in Toronto are being hosted and supported by the Ontario Government. Sabbas Joseph, director, Wizcraft International Entertainment, said the “IIFA has travelled to ten countries across the world and has left a mark in the minds and hearts of its people. “With the premier of Double Dhamaal at IIFA, we will set yet another milestone in our endeavors to continue to take Indian Cinema to its fans. The Videocon D2H IIFA Weekend and the Floriana IIFA Awards 2011 will continue to provide the impetus for the crossover of Indian cinema to global audiences and delight the Indian diaspora with the grandest celebration of our cinema.”
Canucks win Continued from page 1.
“To get it done in the dying seconds like that, it’s just as good as an overtime win.” The Canucks, the NHL’s highestscoring team this season, are trying to claim their first NHL crown and the first by any Canadian club since Montreal in 1993 while the Bruins have not taken the trophy since 1972. Boston goaltender Tim Thomas stopped the first 33 shots he faced and the game appeared set for deadlock after regulation time before the Canucks set up the winner when Ryan Kesler stayed onside and won a puck off the boards. Kesler centered the puck to Jannik Hansen, who flipped the puck to his left to thwart a defender and put the puck on the stick of Torres, who skated in alone on Thomas and put the puck in the back of the net. A physical game produced six power-play opportunities for each side but neither team could capitalize with the man advantage as tempers frayed and checking at times turned to shoving. “Emotions run high. Both teams are fighting hard. That’s going to happen,” Kesler said. “It was two great teams battling. It was tough out there. It took us more than 59 minutes to score and we were battling all the way.” For Luongo, outplaying Thomas and bringing a championship home to Vancouver would be the performance of his lifetime. “I want to go up against him save for save and tonight that’s what it came down to,” Luongo said. The Canucks have won the opening game of eight consecutive playoff matchups. Canadian cities that have hosted the Olympics have won the NHL title the following year. The Montreal Canadiens did so in 1977 after the city hosted the Summer Olympics and Calgary taking the title in 1989 following its hosting of a Winter Olympics, as Vancouver did last year when Canada won hockey gold.

Editorial Immigration rules need change: Fraser report Newcomers to the country generally make less money and chip in less in taxes than the national average. And allowing 250,000 immigrants into the country annually is costing us all billions of dollars each and every year, according to a study by the Fraser Institute. The study, dubbed Immigration and the Canadian Welfare State, sharply criticizes Canada’s current immigration system, using earnings and other figures from the 2005-06 fiscal year reported by 844,476 people in the 2006 Census. It claims the group as a whole earned on average about $10,000 more and paid about $2,500 more in income taxes annually than those within the sampling who had settled in Canada in the previous 18 years. The study also found immigrants typically pay a little over $6,000 less in property and sales taxes than the national average. That means the approximately 3.9 million immigrants who settled in Canada be-
tween 1987 and 2004 are shortchanging federal government coffers by between $16.3 billion and $23.6 billion annually, depending on how many of those newcomers have moved back home, emigrated elsewhere or died, the study said. By comparison, the study points out that the loss would more than cover the $13 billion spent by the feds each year on the environment. The study also dispelled some commonly held beliefs about newcomers. The idea that the children of immigrants will repay tomorrow the money lost today on their parents can only come to pass if they earn above average salaries, the study said. “This outcome is unlikely given that the offspring of immigrants in the past eventually take on all of the characteristics of the average Canadian,” the study says. The study also takes on the notion that immigrants are helping the country by taking menial jobs that most Canadians

don’t want. “Immigrants do fill jobs that Canadians don’t want and thus benefit the economy but, in the absence of immigration, these jobs would pay higher wages and would be filled by Canadians or eliminated by the application of labour-saving technology,” the study states. “Under these conditions, poverty in Canada would be reduced substantially.” As for changes, the study suggests annual immigration numbers should be increased or decreased, depending largely on “market forces.” The study also recommends Canada be more selective, allowing only newcomers who have employment lined up, offering them citizenship only if they hang onto their job for a set number of years and deporting those who lose their jobs.

Top 10 Ways to Motivate Women in your Workforce
BY ROY SAUNDERSON
W
ith the study* just published by the Obama White House stating that females earn about 75 percent of what male counterparts make, the need to recognize women in the workforce has never been more critical. But should women be recognized differently from men? While women are individuals foremost we cannot stereotypically typecast what motivates women versus men. But we can learn a lot from what women share with us. Thomasina Tafur**, a woman’s mentor training consultant and a former FedEx senior manager who climbed the corporate ladder for 20 years and now delivers her successful business acumen to the next generation of women leaders, shared some of the following ways to hit the mark in recognizing women employees in the workplace. 1. Make mentoring a must. Provide opportunities for women to align themselves with a corporate leader who can coach them, guide them, and then help them professionally. This demonstrates your seriousness when it comes to the growth of your female workforce. 2. Leverage the power of a personal sponsor. Some woman will advance faster
and stronger with a sponsorship, especially when they’ve proven themselves but still are stuck. Sponsors can go to bat for them and advocate for their advancement within the company. 3. Put some creativity into rewards. When a female employee truly goes above and beyond, a cash bonus may not always be the best way to recognize the achievement. Keep in mind the value of a day off with pay to allow them time to catch up on personal enjoyments, attend a family event or deal with home responsibilities. 4. Give them choice in leading a project. In male-dominated departments, it is easy to draw on the same 10 people or the typical “go to” person for leading a project or completing an important task. Consider bringing in a woman-employee for this initiative to give them an opportunity to stretch and grow. Trust them. 5. Lifelong learning is an investment. Most companies have educational reimbursement plans for formal, long-term programs. But many women are singleparents or caretakers for elderly parents and that type of commitment is too cumbersome. Consider offering 1- to 2-day skill development programs and allow your female employees the chance to hone those everyday skills needed to grow on the job.
Canada the friendly nation! Diversity Reporter Wire Service They say you can never go home againand you may not want to after relocating to Canada, Bermuda or South Africa. These are the countries where it’s easiest to befriend locals, learn the language, fit into the new culture and integrate into the community, according to respondents to HSBC Bank International’s Expat Explorer survey, the results of which were released late last month. Canada was most welcoming for the second year in a row; more than half of survey-takers there said they’d made friends with locals. In Bermuda 57 per cent have had the pleasure, and the same for South Africa. To determine the world’s friendliest countries, Forbes looked at the results of HSBC Bank International’s Expat Explorer survey in four categories: ability to befriend locals, success in learning the local language, capacity for integrating themselves into the community, and ease in which they fit into the new culture. 1. Canada
fellow expats--the highest score of all 25 countries. 2. Bermuda Those who have relocated to Britain’s oldest colony (and beach paradise) report relative ease with local language and cultures. 3. South Africa A culturally diverse nation, this host country proved to be well equipped for welcoming all sorts of foreigners. 4. The U.S. The results of the survey suggest that ease of learning the local language and adapting to the local culture are areas in which the U.S. fares well in as an expat destination--despite low scores in organizing finances and health care. 5. Australia
One of the main advantages of becomExpats based here typically integrate ing an expat Down Under, according to well within local society, according to the the survey, is the ease of setting up in the HSCB survey, with 45 per cent claiming country. they go out with local friends as much as
6. Highlight the female “leaders” who have no title. Tafur reminds us that females still tend to be the primary gender for secretary, executive assistant and administrator roles. These roles continue to be the lifeblood of an organization and are run by the quiet troopers who keep everything moving like clockwork. Make time to honor them formally with their peers and privately too. 7. Pay attention to expressing appreciation. Often women tend to do a better job of expressing appreciation and they also like to receive spoken and written forms of acknowledgement more often than men. Stop and give frequent and specific thanks throughout the day or in every stage of a project roll-out.
in the expressing genuine respect for work and effort all year long. 10. Reward equally and fairly. If there is one thing that irritates anyone, male or female, is seeing someone receive a pay raise, an award, or some form of recognition when they felt deserving too. Tafur recommends that all organizations take the time to establish clear quantitative criteria and measures that are used to evaluate performance and distribution of rewards. This article first appeared in the March 2010 issue of Diversity! in the Workplace, www.diversityintheworkplace.ca.
8. Check how they want to be listened to. When a woman shares a problem check in to see if they just want to vent or whether they want your involvement. Men like to fix shared problems but sometimes women just want to verbalize things to feel better. 9. Show consistent respect and courtesy. During Tafur’s mentor-training, she stresses that the one-time lunch and flowers from a boss on annual administrative assistant days don’t mean anything unless it is accompanied by ongoing appreciation. Make sure your managers and supervisors understand the value of day-to-day recognition and are appropriately trained

BRITISH COLUMBIA
The Best Place on Earth
BC will inject $1.1 million to celebrate cultural diversity Diversity Reporter Staff British Columbia is investing more than $1.1 million in EmbraceBC, a program to celebrate the province’s diverse cultures and landscape. The funding will go to individuals, organizations and communities that inspire acceptance and the embracing of differences, no matter where they live in B.C. “British Columbia comprises people from more than 180 countries, making it
one of the most multicultural places on earth,” said Harry Bloy, Minister of Social Development and Minister Responsible for Multiculturalism. “Our harmonious state of daily living is something that should be recognized and carefully nurtured every day. The projects help to do just that.” Bloy said some projects will use art to help cultures express themselves, and the interfaith projects will bring people together to share their beliefs so they un-
derstand each other in a way they didn’t before. The EmbraceBC projects fall under four categories: Arts Engagement — 14 projects will receive a total of $344,000. Inclusive leadership Development and Mentorship — $250,000 province-wide for the Safe Harbour Program. Interfaith Bridging — 14 projects totalling nearly $350,000.
Organizing against Racism and Hate — eight projects totalling $172,500. EmbraceBC is part of WelcomeBC, the province’s strategic immigration framework. The funding is provided by the Province and federal government through the Agreement for Canada-B.C. Co-operation on Immigration.
RBC Foundation give $25,000 to refurbish Beacon Hill cricket pitch Beacon Hill Park’s cricket pitch will get a much needed overhaul thanks to a $25,000 grant from the RBC Foundation. The money will be used to repair practice nets, purchase a bowling machine and replace the aging cricket mat — improvements that will greatly improve access to the game. “With partners like the RBC, we can continue to foster a love of the sport and healthy living for everyone,” said Mayor
Dean Fortin. The refurbishment of the cricket facility is expected to be completed in time for the park’s 130th anniversary celebrations in 2012. The RBC grant will also allow the Victoria and District Cricket Association, which provides programming at the Beacon Hill pitch, to purchase new youth equipment and extend its junior in-school coaching and outreach programs in Victoria and surrounding districts. Cricket association president David

Norrish said the VDCA is extremely grateful to the RBC Foundation and the city for their assistance and generosity. The association “hopes to upgrade and improve both playing and practice facilities at Beacon Hill Park,” he said. The VDCA currently runs two competitive leagues in Victoria, with matches at Beacon Hill almost every day between mid-April and late September. Matches are also played at Windsor Park in Oak Bay, at St Michaels University School,
at the University of Victoria, at Stelly’s School, and at grounds in Sidney, Metchosin, and Shawnigan Lake. Among more than 300 players you may find expatriates of more than 20 nations. In addition to Beacon Hill Park, the RBC Foundation is working with municipal officials and cricket clubs in Montreal, Toronto and Abbotsford.

ESL students struggle with feelings of inferiority
By Yukari Tanji “How can I become a native speaker of English?” When I seek the hopeful look in my students’ eyes, it’s hard to tell them that,
by definition, they will never become native speakers of the language. In Korea, people have been known to get plastic surgery in an attempt to speak English better and improve their pronunciation, but that does not make native speakers. It’s a simple fact. I can relate to my students’ aspirations. When I was in high school, I bought a very expensive set of video tapes that were supposed to help me learn to talk like a native speaker of English. There was a Japanese woman in the video who spoke English fluently and
with a perfect accent. As she spoke so casually to her blond-haired American friend on a beautiful beach in California, it gave me hope. If this fellow Japanese person could speak perfect English, then, perhaps, one day so could I. Only recently, I looked at the video again and realized that the Japanese woman was most likely Japanese American. I think students of a second language are sometimes so caught up in their desire to speak English fluently that they forget that already speak a native language, one that can be quite difficult for English speakers to learn.
Catch a falling star By Nancy Hum Special to the Diversity Reporter Many elderly sit within walls. Many elderly have a great fall. The walkers and pills in the medical chain Can’t put them all together again. Name that nursery rhyme. Why, it’s good old Humpty Dumpty. He was a good old egg, the operative words here being “old” and “egg.” The elderly are like an egg, fragile, with a shell that cracks and breaks easily. The one thing ole Humpty feared was a fall, as do many seniors. Ergo, we need to teach seniors who are at risk how to prevent falls, what to do if a fall occurs, what help is available, and how quickly help arrives. When we were young, falls did not concern us, because we thought we were in”fall”able. Time passes; we grow up, grow out, and grow older. Bones get brittle from arthritis or oesteoporosis. There are sensory deficits, medical conditions along with medications, mobility issues, balance problems, home hazards. It is not so easy now to pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again. When an elder falls, it can result in serious injury, a decline in quality of life, and loss of independence. Did you know that one in three Canadian seniors falls each year, 50% more than once? Falls cause 79% of senior injury-related hospital admissions. Falls are responsible for 40% of nursing home admissions. The good news is that most falls can be prevented. You can reduce the risk by taking simple precautions, and taking control of the situation. Most people fall in the home. Eliminate hazards like poor lighting. Many falls occur in the bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen. Add safety equipment as needed in those areas. Speaking of areas, I recently got rid of all the area/scatter rugs in my apartment. I had to make a decision: scatter rugs or shattered bones; it was a no-brainer. Have your vision and hearing tested regularly. Be sure to have sufficient lighting everywhere, nightlights if you get
up frequently in the night. When getting out of bed, do so slowly to avoid dizziness. Take medications only as directed. Blister packs are great. Keep a list of all medications on you and put one up on the fridge for others to see. Wear non-slip shoes and slippers that fit properly. Use mobility aids as needed. Exercise moderately, and most important of all, learn how to get up safely if you do fall. There are many ways and resources available in this community where one can go to learn about falls prevention. Just off the top of my head, as long as I don’t fall on it: — there is the Arthritis Centre on Richmond Ave. They offer support groups, classes, seminars, trained personnel. — the Yakimovich Wellness Centre on Hillside Ave. They always have a great lineup of educational seminars. Lifeline Victoria have representatives constantly giving presentations to various groups. — VIHA can be contacted and an occupational therapist will come and do an assessment of your home. Help is available; you just have to know where and how to access it. Organizations like Seniors Serving Seniors produce the Blue Book, the resource bible for community resources. Return to Health is a volunteer organization and other volunteer organizations have wonderful trained people willing to help. Victoria is an elder-friendly place. I have been working with seniors for the last four and a half years since I moved here, starting up and facilitating weekly groups for isolated seniors. Dur-
ing that time I became aware of seniors who are at a high risk of falling. Indeed, many of the people I knew, both in and out of the groups. were falling with disastrous results. Some were fortunate enough to get help quickly. Others less fortunate and less knowledgeable enough to get help quickly, lay on the floor for hours before assistance arrived. This does not need to be. I live in Chinatown. In the building where I live are many elderly Chinese/Oriental people. I began to notice lately how
many have fallen, had to be hospitalized, and now have canes/walkers/wheel chairs, and are still at risk. Others in the buildings where I live and ran the groups have also had falls and lay there for hours before help arrived. The Chinese in these buildings are in double jeapardy because their English is so minimal. They cannot express or address what is happening to them. I had already referred some seniors to Lifeline and the representative set up the system for them. But too many are literally “falling” through the cracks due to their inability to communicate their needs, their lack of knowledge of what to do, how to prevent a fall, what resources are there for them, and someone to bring all this to their awareness and educate them. There was a need; I wanted to see it filled. I was on good terms with the Lifeline representative. Then I met an elderly but very active Chinese man who was willing
English is an international language and its native speakers may not appreciate the inferiority complex that often afflicts students of English as a Second Language. One Korean student asked a co-worker of mine if she would ever be a ble to speak English perfectly. The co-worker replied, “Probably never,” but added, “Have you ever heard a native English speaker speak your language like you do?”
to translate. I arranged a meeting to discuss what we could do. The TTT was born, that is, The Tremendous Trio. We came up with a plan to address the needs of the Chinese seniors, as well as anyone else in the buildings who were interested. We would hold a series of meetings in the buildings and elsewhere where we could find free space. The representative from Lifeline would talk about falls prevention and the Lifeline program. The translator would explain to the Chinese in their own language. We would provide light refreshments. Follow up appointments could be made with the Lifeline person and the translator for a home demonstration/setup with no obligation or pressure. The first successful presentation was on May 27, the second will be on June 28, and a third planned for September. Picture this scenario. It is about ten or eleven at night. You just finished watching the news. You go to get up from your chair, and for whatever reason, fall. Ask yourself these questions if this should happen to you. If I fall tonight, how will I get up? Who will know I have fallen? How do I get help if I can’t get to a phone and can’t get up? How long will I lie on the floor before someone discovers me and gets assistance? Bear in mind, the longer one lies on the floor after a fall, the more damage there will be to the body. Summer is coming, we hope and pray, sometime soon?

“...not only my dignity, but your dignity also” By Mary Polak Minister of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation
It has been more than two years since B.C. and Canada were welcomed to the Tsawwassen First Nation to celebrate the implementation of the province’s first treaty concluded under the BC Treaty Commission process. Since that day in April, 2009, a second treaty with five First Nations on Vancouver Island has been implemented, and the Yale First Nation has witnessed the introduction of treaty legislation in the provincial Legislature that brings them one step closer to their treaty taking effect. The Tsawwassen First Nation recently released their first implementation report, outlining progress in areas of governance, land management, law making and more. In its first pages the report shows clearly that through treaty, the Tsawwassen First Nation is building opportunity. Since 2005, when the provincial government began the New Relationship with Aboriginal peoples in British Columbia, treaty-making has been one of the top priorities of this ministry, and for good reason. Treaty is a complete package, providing tools for economic and social development, taking First Nations out of the Indian Act and providing governance authority. The BC Treaty Commission, which is a neutral third party in treaty negotiations, published an independent report in 2009, estimating that completing two treaties each year over the next 15 years could boost the provincial economy by $3.2 billion through investment, job cre-
ation and economic development. The alternative is costly and lengthy court challenges. Uncertainty over ownership of land impedes the development of economies within Aboriginal traditional territories. Investing in treaties enables First Nations to increase their participation in the economy and reduce reliance on government transfers. Final Agreements also encourage investment, stimulate business activity and generate economic benefits for the First Nation, as well as the surrounding region. Since the Tsawwassen First Nation treaty was implemented over two years ago, we are seeing success as Tsawwassen moves forward on a number of development projects and social programs. For example, last June, the Tsawwassen First Nation community celebrated the groundbreaking of its new industrial park - Tsawwassen Gateway Logistics Centre - marking its first major economic initiative following the treaty. More recently, in April this year, the Tsawwassen Economic Development Corporation announced an agreement with private sector partners to develop what could potentially become one of British Columbia’s signature shopping locations. Though still in the early planning stages, some 1.8 million square feet of retail, office, entertainment and other uses could be developed. This one project alone could generate over 1,200 person years of employment throughout the construction phase and employ over 4,500 workers once the projects are in operation.
It is not just in economic terms that the Tsawwassen First Nation is beginning to experience success. They have also held their first election as a self-governing First Nation and under the new government structure, their Legislature is operating regularly, debating issues and passing laws to improve the lives of their constituents. Other activities of the new government include: a significant re-structuring of the social housing framework; participating in regional government; resolving servicing issues that could delay investment and development; reviewing the local education agreement; working with financial institutions to establish a new home loan program; and negotiating a protocol agreement with the Ministry of Children and Family Development. These are just a few of Tsawwassen’s activities to date. The Tsawwassen First Nation leadership - in particular Chief Kim Baird - deserve congratulations for the tremendous energy and commitment they have shown toward improving the economic and social circumstances of their constituents I encourage all British Columbians to go to the Tsawwassen First Nation website where they can find out for themselves all that the Tsawwassen First Nation government is doing. I have summarized what Tsawwassen has achieved in two years since their treaty came into effect. It is early days for the Maa-nulth treaty, but I know it will produce great results for the community and the rest of the Province. The same will be true for Yale and First Nations that achieve their own treaties in the future.
Historic injustices cannot, and should not, be brought down merely to dollars and cents. British Columbia has a moral and legal obligation to resolve Aboriginal rights and title issues. The social requirement is obvious and pressing; Aboriginal people must enjoy the same quality of life as other British Columbians. Yet, at this point in time, they do not. There is no doubt that B.C. is now moving in the right direction. However Reconciliation occurs, it is one of the foundations of the New Relationship along with Respect and Recognition, and we will continue to build that relationship incrementally, one community at a time, recognizing that each First Nations community is unique. I encourage everyone to learn about the benefits of negotiating treaties for themselves. As 21st century British Columbians and Canadians, perhaps we don’t bear the brunt of responsibility for what happened to First Nations and other Aboriginal Peoples over a hundred years ago, but we do bear the responsibility for trying to resolve the injustices created by them today. I think the late Chief Lawrence Hope of Yale First Nation put it very eloquently when he said: “We...accept you as a people. You have taken up the land and used it for your own good and that’s fine. Now give us a chance to use some of that land for our own good and improve our economy and dignity - and not only my dignity, but your dignity also.”
Les maringouins (et les jeunes) sont puissants par Kluane Buser-Rivet Les maringouins (et les jeunes) sont puissants par Kluane Buser-Rivet C’est quoi l’engagement de la jeunesse? L’engagement de la jeunesse ne consiste pas d’attendre pour se faire donner une tâche ou d’être assigné un poste. Il s’agit de s’impliquer dans sa communauté pour changer l’environnement qui nous entoure; il s’agit de croire que nous pouvons changer le monde. C’est de connaître son pouvoir en temps qu’individu, qu’étudiant, que jeune et que membre d’une communauté. Comment s’engager en temps que jeune? L’engagement c’est d’aller plus loin que simplement se plaindre. C’est de regarder au-delà des problèmes pour trouver des solutions et ensuite, agir pro activement pour les mettre en marche. En travaillant avec sa direction d’école, ses enseignants, ses entraineurs, ses politiciens et surtout ses amis, nous pouvons tous créer des projets de grande portée. Pourquoi s’engager? Les raisons de s’engager sont innombrables. En voici quelques-uns : pour
pouvoir quitter un endroit même un peu mieux qu’on lui avait rencontré et pour la satisfaction personnelle d’avoir identifié un problème et de l’avoir résous. En une phrase, c’est pour contribuer à notre communauté plutôt que simplement exister en elle. Par où commencer? Premièrement, nous devons trouver un thème qui deviendra notre passion : l’environnement, les droits des animaux, les évènements culturels, la santé, etc. Trouve ce qui te tient à cœur, trouve d’autres qui partagent ton intérêt et lance toi. Les seules limites qui existent sont ceux que nous créons pour nous-mêmes. Quand? Maintenant! Quel meilleur temps que le mois de mai, proclamé par les Nations Unies et la municipalité de Saanich le Mois international de l’engagement de la jeunesse? Si tu as peur de ne pas faire un impact, n’oublie pas ceci : “Si tu penses que tu es trop petit pour être efficace, tu n’as jamais été dans un lit avec un maringouin.” Betty Reese Kluane est une élève francophone de 12e année à l’École Victor-Brodeur. Elle s’engage, entre autres, en présidant sur
le comité vert à son école (equipeverte. tumblr.com), avec le Conseil Jeunesse de Saanich et en faisant des voyages humanitaires au Pérou et au Sénégal. Kluane aime l’environnement, le yoga et les animaux. Elle croit fermement que les jeunes peuvent accomplir de grands projets en s’engageant dans leur communauté et vous souhaite un excellent Mois de l’engagement de la jeunesse!
