Brigette Lacquette visited the Helen Betty Osborne Ininiw Education Resource Centre and Jack River School in Norway House on April 25. It was an honour to have her visit our community and speak to our youth. Brigette spoke of the obstacles she had to overcome to reach her goal. She overcame bullying and racism through the support of family and friends. Brigette’s quest to become an Olympian was not an easy task but she was determined to make the Canadian Hockey Team. Brigette was once a Frontier Games athlete herself and competed at the Divisional Games in Norway House, it was a privilege to have her come back and share her incredible story of overcoming obstacles and never giving up. She is the first First Nations woman to play on a Canadian Olympic Hockey Team and won silver for Canada in the 2018 Winter Olympics. Brigette Lacquette is truly an inspiration and a role model for many indigenous youth. HBOIERC was honoured to have Brigette Lacquette join a number of other inspirational speakers in signing their Wall of Fame, where her words will always serve as inspiration to the next generations. The message she left for our youth is, “Dream big, work hard, believe in yourself and to be proud of your roots.”
