The series of Smart Community Planning workshops for North Spirit Lake got underway this week. The weather and other happenings provided the North Spirit Lake staff with several challenges. The Monday evening planning and introductory session had to be done using video conferencing because none of the Keewaytinook Okimakanak staff could fly into North Spirit Lake. KO staff in Balmertown and Sioux Lookout were able to connect with community members in North Spirit Lake to provide everyone with an overview of what was to happen over this week. Day one of our workshops were very promising. Community members participated in workshop activities such as discussions, exchanging ideas, and asking questions about the SMART project.

Well, yesterday was our first senior and junior volleyball games over at our neighbour's gym (Churchill). I'll start with the junior's because they did very well and I'm, as a senior, pretty much happy for their victories over their opponents. They won three games straight and it leaves them with their three points. Their Captain Vietta Morris, congrats for taking them to their wins. As for the us, the seniors, we did good although we had ONLY the two weeks practice and the getting use to positions. We won the first game with a few girls that we completely nervous. Their hands shaking, their faces going red from shyness and the butterflies in their stomach's, all because of wearing shorts. But girls, we're up for a long season of volleyball and we have to show what we got as legs. Just kidding! But we have to get use to the topic of wearing shorts everygame. My Captain, who is also the smallest girl on the team, Stacey Fiddler, congrats for the one win. But we'll get back on top and we'll take back the games we lost, right? But anyways that should be all for now. Our next game is tomorrow and please people that go to school here in Thunder Bay, come and cheer for us. We need fans. Haha! For the rest of you not here in the area to come and watch us play ball, wish us luck.
