David Meslin, a Community Catalyst, explores why more people don't engage in local politics, despite its direct impact on their lives through issues like schools, zoning, and elections.

Meslin argues that this lack of involvement isn't apathy. Instead, he identifies it as a complex "web of barriers" that actively reinforce disengagement. He advocates for collaborative efforts to dismantle these obstacles.

On June 21, 2017, the summer solstice and National Aboriginal Day, Turtle Lodge Elders and representatives from the Original Nations lit a sacred fire at Manitou Api. The flame was brought to Winnipeg, where Elder Dave Courchene lit the Centennial Flame at the Manitoba Legislative Building. It will burn for one year, inspiring the province and nation.

This sacred flame launched the 2017 Canada Games torch run in Manitoba and later lit the Games' cauldron.

A video for the Canada Games was created by Patrick Roberge, PRP Inc. Acknowledgements go to the Elders for their vision and to Barry Mathers for his hard work with the Canada Games and Turtle Lodge.
