ELITE INDIGENOUS ATHLETE PARTICIPATION What Australia Can Teach Canada, and Why It Matters By Thomas Law   “I think it’s ridiculous that there’s one, maybe two active professional Indigenous women’s soccer players in North America.” For distinguished forward Victoria Marchand, the lack of Indigenous athletes at the top of North American sport is an all-too-familiar and personal affair, hardly exclusive to soccer. Last season’s NHL had just 10 Indigenous players across the league, while the CFL, NBA, and MLB are equally if not more bereft. In one sense, it’s yet another example of margina ..read more

Healing is often thought of as an individualistic journey. Still, for many, true healing occurs when we find a community, a sense of belonging and purpose, and surround ourselves with other supportive like-minded people. Each person’s healing journey or road to overall better health is different, some take longer than others, but I believe it is something we all seek in one way or another. Having spoken to many people over the years who have overcome immense challenges, I have learned that we must permit ourselves to feel all the feelings, we must learn to forgive ourselves, show compassion ..read more
