Single Track to Success is a Carcross/Tagish First Nations initiative to promote wellness and reconnect youth with the land. This initiative has also boosted the local economy byway of making Carcross, YT a premier tourist stop for mountain biking trails. In addition to learning how to persevere when the work gets hard, the youth/crew members learn new skills that will help them acquire employment, as well as in life in general. The youth take pride in how they’ve made the Montana Mountain trails with the least environmental impact as possible. More information can be found here: https://destinationcarcross.ca/carcross-biking/s2s/.

The programs at the Niagara Regional Native Centre work together and Philip works to raise cultural awareness and foster wellbeing on a community and individual level.
Philip Davis is the Cultural Resource Coordinator for the Niagara Regional Native Centre and this program provides Indigenous educational services, that are focused on providing children, youth, family and community access to cultural knowledge. This is done through a variety of approaches with the aim to foster wellbeing and positive Indigenous Identity. Music is a tool that Davis uses to pass on cultural knowledge with regular drum nights. An exploration of colonial history is an important element in self-discovery which empowers individuals to learn about who they are and where they come from.
Additionally, Davis coordinates learning experiences for outside agencies (churches, community services, etc.) about Indigenous history, colonialism, and residential schools. These services help to raise awareness and to reduce racism.
