Youth Ambassadors Being PromotedYouth Ambassadors Being Promoted

NWT Youth Ambassador volunteers are do-ing such a great job they are being promoted up the chain of command - literally. Pic-tured here is Jayda Cottam-Jackson to the entrance to CIBC Pan Am Park . Her new duties include using a mega-phone to welcome visitors to the park and give directions to spectators, accredited personnel and contractors to the appropriate ven-ues. Yesterday, Trent Cli was promoted to shift Group Leader. His duties included making sure everyone was in their proper location and scheduling breaks.

Toronto is a big city; there is so much to do and see! One thing that could-n't be passed up was the chance to take the NWT Youth Ambassadors to a Toronto Blue Jays baseball game! This Pan Am adven-ture is already half way done, and this was a great chance to bring the entire group together for a FUN Friday evening! Just so hap-pened that program leader Ian Legaree was celebrating his birthday too, so the YAP's stood around him in the stands to loudly sing him Happy Birthday! Just look a the happy faces in the seats! The Blue Jays treated the crowd to a great game complete with home runs and a nice W at the fin-ish! Whoop Whoop! Even more cool was that the Toronto Blue Jays club announced a $100,000.00 donation to KidSport! Way COOL!!

“It is definitely a once and a lifetime opportunity.”

Hey guys, it’s Brandi here again! On Sunday the 19th will mark the 15th day since we’ve all left our own beds and pets. I must say the days are very long. From waking up early for the morning shift or else from reaching the Ryerson Res shortly after 1:00 am from having the night shift. But I honestly think it is most def worth it.

My love for this city grew so much more from these past few days. The only thing, if Stephanie Charlie wasn’t here, Millie and I would probably get lost and end up in China or something. She’s our human map!

I just can’t be more thankful for the people who put all their time and energy for making this trip to the Pan Am Games. It is definitely a once in a life time opportunity.
