November 22, 2005 was a very exciting day for those students chosen to participate at the Mi’kmaq Speech Festival that was held at the Wagmatcook Cultural Center. Students from Membertou, Eskasoni, Wagmatcook, and We’koqma’q First Nations were in attendance.

The children read aloud their speeches for those of us that were present and also for those who attended via Video Conferencing.

Everyone here is a winner in the sense that all win when these children speak with great confidence a language most can not. I was very impressed and proud of all the students who attended. Excellent job kids, keep up the good work for future generations.
