The Office of the Treaty Commissioner congratulates the graduates of 2020! This marks the beginning of change, saying goodbye to the patterns, classrooms and friends of the past few years and getting ready to embrace what life throws at you next.

Now is a difficult, and exciting, time for graduates. The world is changing rapidly, which while there is so much unknown, there are also so many ways to have an impact.

Many of the participants in the OTC Youth in Service are graduating this year. Not only did these young men and women, study and work hard in the classroom, but they made it their goal to make a difference in their communities. They traveled across the province from the north to the south, to talk about reconciliation, and to meet others interested in making change.

Congratulations to Aailyah, Peace, Nolan, Emilio, Brelanda, Mya, Chante, Joy, Sarah, Bethany, and Nautia, on your graduation and best wishes and you start your next adventure.

People will tell you it can’t be done until you do it. Then they might tell you it was luck. But, keep succeeding over and over again. Show them your spirit is strong. Show them what you can do.

We are proud of you, your impact, and we are excited to see what you do next.
