I'd like to bring awareness to an extraordinary young man named Dwight Ballantyne. Dwight grew up in a remote Northern community called Montreal ...Lake Cree Nation. Like many remote northern communities, opportunities for jobs were slim and most of the youth lose hope. Living within the limitations of these communities is extremely challenging and will test the souls of even the most strong. Through it all, Dwight held on to the belief that he would one day leave his community in search of a different life. Then one day something happened. Dwight noticed a post on Facebook that called out to Indigenous youth in remote communities to receive a one-year preparation college program. He knew this was his chance and despite being afraid he went for his dream. Today, Dwight and his team of 3, created a campaign called #WeSeeYou which addresses the current challenges that First Nations youth face while living in remote communities. It also encourages them to create a vision for themselves through the personalized and impactful presentations designed by the Ballantyne team. Dwight and his BC Mom Denise and girlfriend Alexis have been travelling to these remote communities bringing inspiration, hope and the message, We See You since September of 2019. They were loaned vital camera equipment to document their journey but have since had to return it. With your help, we want to raise the necessary funds to help this team to acquire their own 'forever' equipment. This gear will ensure they can continue to document the journey, the stories, and educational content that can be shared all across Canada. Today we have set a modest goal of $2500. Any support, any donation can be powerful and impactful. Each dollar is funding this dream and important cause of helping Indigenous youth across Canada to be seen. We also ask that you share this through your network. Share it often and help to amplify the voices bringing change where it's needed. .
