Brady Keeper - A Cross Lake star!

We're very excited to see that one of Cross Lake's hockey players was signed to the NHL this year! The Florida Panthers signed Brady Keeper and he played his first game this season. Cross Lake held a big welcome home parade for Brady this week. So great seeing good things happening! Congratulations to Brady Keeper!

NHL player transforms community
A remote First Nation community that saw a suicide epidemic in 2016 is now full of hope. One of their own, Brady Keeper, returned home Wednesday as a member of the NHL’s Florida Panthers. Stefanie Lasuik reports on the hero’s welcome.

Excited for Mikisew Students to Come to TO!

Seven students and three educators will be coming to Toronto in May! We are very busy planning for their trip and can't wait to show them this huge city! Many of the students will have never been outside of Cross Lake, MB so we want to make it special.
We will be hosting a Trivia night at Earlscourt BBQ again, to help offset some of the cost of their travels. Hopefully you can make it out!
