Program Goals:
The purpose of the aboriginal program is to make sure that you are supported at DSS across all aspects of the medicine wheel - mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. If there is anything that I can assist you with, please let me know. You can use the contact information on my home page to find me.

There are many opportunities available (and free flights in planes and helicopters!). I have posted information below - if your daughter (or you) are interested, it's a wonderful opportunity.
