Meet Klaire, one of our remarkable speakers from yesterday’s Rotary luncheon. She’s a grade 11 student from Gonzaga High School, and was one of the District 7815 representatives who attended Honouring Indigenous Peoples (HIP) in BC in March of 2024. This Rotary sponsored program brings together 25 indigenous and 25 non-indigenous youth from across Canada to learn about and appreciate indigenous culture through workshops and hands on experiences.
