National Indigenous People’s Day was a big success this past Wednesday at Rotary Park. The Friendship Center’s Jo-Anne Pelletier says it was a complete community effort.

" National Indigenous People's Day was very successful with a lot of hard work that really paid off. I'm proud of the performers who came out and kept everyone entertained. I'm thankful for the help I had from the Friendship Centre staff who guided me along. I want to thank the volunteers who came out and helped, we couldn't of done it without you so thank you all."

Pelletier also wanted to thank the Flin Flon Lion’s Club for manning the barbecue, the business’s for all the donations and to all the people who attended the event. Congratulations to Kristin Imrie who won the barbecue.

The other big door prize which was a cedar bench and gift certificate from McMunn and Yates was not claimed. It is a red ticket and was numbered 703658. If you have this ticket you can claim at the Friendship Centre.
