This is to remind every NAN territory member that September 18th is approaching quickly for the observance of NAN Day of Prayer as designated by the Chiefs of Nishnawbe Aski Nation. The purpose of this solemn event is to pray for all our people who have been affected by suicide and to embrace life as given by our Creator. The Day of Prayer will commence with a Wawatay radio address by Grand Chief Stan Beardy at approximately 9:00am central standard time. Followed by messages and prayers by Deputy Grand Chief Goyce Kakegamic, youth and area ministers/pastors. All churches within their respective communities have been encouraged to plan joint evening prayer services/events for that day. For more information please call your local band office or church, or Nishnawbe Aski Nation at 1-800-465-9952

Keewaywin's Smart team members went over to the KiHS site to welcome our new Internet high school teacher Mandy Fry who hails from North Bay. From the looks of things she is getting some great support from the students, Keewaywin school staff and community members. Fourteen students started classes this past Tuesday. I believe there are a couple of more students that will be registering at our Internet High School. See pictures of the KiHS classroom and the group photo of students here.
