Summer day camp

This summer was a blast. It went by so fast. I sure enjoyed my time with the kids. Our activities we did included going to the field, going to the hall and walks we have done games, movies and a few things such as going to beaver lake and whale watching at telegraph cove. We were also able to have mad science camp come for four days. I have defiantly made me some awesome friend (the kids) they sure are amazing, funny, caring and respectful. If I could do this job again I would do it in a heat beat. Very memorable with some awesome co-workers Veronica, Thomas & George. Thank you kids for a great summer. Yours truly Lori Anderson These past three summers with the summer day camp have tought me a lot. I’v enjoyed my time with all the children and that is the road I would like to continue on. Working with children and people in general has been the greatest opportunity in my life. To work with 3 great co-workers and to make awesome memories with the kids. I hope to be working for the Gwa’sala-Nakwaxda’xw band again in the future as a registered nurse. Thank you for allowing me to work with your kids Thomas Coon This summer was great. I enjoyed working with kids that is why I applied for this job again for a second year in a row. We did various activities. Going to the hall, the field a couple parks in town. We also played man hunt and capture the flag I had a lot of fun. I also had the opportunity to work alongside three great people. Thank you for allowing me to work with the children George Walkus

These past two summers have been great! We had so much fun with the kids and I hope they had fun with us. We did so much activities that helped us connect with each other, which was great. What I liked doing most with the kids was everything! Because even though some of the kids weren’t able to participate because they didn’t know how to play a board game, card game, or outdoor games. We all helped out and made sure no one was left out and tought them the best we can and for all that just makes me happy and more that they are happy. So to that I say thank you for allowing me to work with these amazing children and 3 awesome co-workers. Veronica Johnny

Yo Wiksas?

Well, the summer has came & went. It was fun &

eventful for our G&N Elders. I returned back

Monday from being off for a couple of weeks.

As you all may already know, the Elder's went to the

Kamloopa Pow Wow.

August 1st & returned on the 5th. The bus arrived to

pick us up Friday morning. We were on our way to

Nanaimo for the night. We headed onto Kamloops

bright & early Saturday morning. At this time, Bob

was asked to drive the vehicle that came with us in

case of emergency. Being the trooper Bob is, he

gladly did so. Thanks Bob & Cathy. While we were

on our journeys to Kamloops, the bus blew a tire.

This was a minor set back. Luckily for us, we were

just outside Hope. So the bus had to get the tire fixed.

He dropped us all off at a Library, which was closed.

But the recreation center had air conditioning. A few

of the Elders felt ambitious & walked down to the

town Diner to have a snack. The tire was fixed and

we were well on our way. We arrived to our hotel in

Kamloops just before dinner. We settled in then

headed straight off to the Pow wow grounds. It was

very hot & humid over there. We arrived and all kind

of sat spread out from each other as the Arbour was

jam packed. Our fantastic helpers were prompt with

getting everything the Elders needed.

We sat and enjoyed the Pow wow until late around

11pm that night. There were so many vendors & food

booths. It was awesome! Everyone had a grand old

time. The next morning we took our time eating

breakfast downstairs of our hotel. The Pow wow

resumed at lunch time. We headed there a bit earlier

so we could get seats. It was amazing to see everyone

sit & watch the dances. It was 35 degrees there

through out the day.

Such troopers our Elders are! We left to a nice cool

restaurant to have dinner. Then half of the Elders

went to their hotel room to rest for the night, as the

rest went back to the Pow wow.


It was about 11pm again the second night when we

all headed back to the hotel. We sleep. We left bright

and early to North Van for the Elders to go shopping

(tax free;) and have lunch. We enjoyed a few hours

there before we had headed to the ferry. The bus

driver was amazing. Thanks John (from Smith

Transportation Ltd). We headed back to the same

hotel in Nanaimo and crashed there. The Travelodge

in Nanaimo is excellent. Great customer service, big

rooms, big comfy beds, air conditioning. Highly

recommend you stay there if you are staying in

Nanaimo for the night. By the next morning,

everyone was eager to get home to our fish. We

stopped in Campbell River on our way home to grab

a bite and some jars. We were on our way and arrived

home with warm welcoming by the end of the day on

Tuesday. We had great volunteers giving Elders rides

home with their luggage. Thanks guys!

Our trip to the Kamloopa Pow wow was amazing. I

know I will be taking my family to it next year. The

Elders had a blast. A couple bumps in our journeys,

but hey... that's to be expected right? A great big huge

thank you to our helpers: Dodie Rufus, Conrad

Anderson, Cathy & Bob Swain. With out you guys, I

don't know what we would have done. I salute you

all. I would also like to thank Eileen Rufus & Mary-

lynn Henderson for being such a big help with

Quorbin! My heart was filled with so much warmth

seeing everyone working together as a team on the

entire trip. Way to go everybody! I look forward to

the next journey.

Which brings me onward to my next topic. The

Elders have finally received their first half of their

grant from Trust! Now we can really start food

harvesting & going on more adventures! We will be

going crabbing very soon. Hunting season opens in a

couple of weeks. Elders: Please don't hesitate to let

me know if you would like to come along on any of

the food harvesting adventures. I have cleared our

freezers for what ever we catch.

The food fish fever came and went. It was an

awesome experience! Gilakasla Chief & Council! I

had a great processing team. We worked on fish for 4

days (some did for a week). We were able to get

granny Sara's, Vivian & Janet's fish jarred for them.

When I returned to work this past Monday, I canned

nearly 5 cases for our Elders Center. I am very

pleased with the turn out. Now the Elders have fish

for every function they may need it for at home and

at their building.

That's all for now ladies & gents. I hope you have a

great long weekend. I will be meeting with other

organizers/supervisors from other surrounding

programs & schools to set up lunches, tea times, etc.

with students & youth from our community. Stay

tuned for updates.

Good Food Bag Recipes

Hello everyone,

Wow, is the Good Food Bag ever growing!! We

have 33 people signed up to receive a GFB, the

most yet

Keep telling people about the GFB and hopefully

we’ll get a few more new people included.

Remember; don’t be afraid to provide feedback too.

I’d really like to know if people like the recipes, if

they are easy to follow or too complicated,

suggestions around communication etc.

Have a wonderful weekend

Main Dish: Chicken Broccoli Quinoa Bake

Quinoa is definitely getting the reputation for

being a super grain…for very good reasons (some

listed below). If you haven’t tried it yet, here’s your

chance!

It is gluten free

It contains almost twice as much fiber than other

grains

It’s one of the most protein rich foods containing

all the 9 essential amino acids.

It contains iron, lysine, magnesium, riboflavin and

manganese (all sorts of vitamins and minerals)

Benefits from these ranges from increasing brain

function, essential for tissue growth/repair,

promotes healthy blood sugar control, helps

prevent heart disease by reducing high blood

pressure and lowers cholesterol.

Ingredients for the Casserole:

Chicken

Broccoli (cut small)

Spinach cut into small stripes

5-6 mushrooms sliced (more if you like

mushrooms!)

2-3 cloves of garlic, minced

1 cup uncooked quinoa

1 cup milk (can substitute almond milk)

2 cups chicken broth (add seasoning provided to 2

cups of water)

Black pepper to taste

Fresh Basil (or 1-2 tbsp dried)

½ cup flour

1-2 cups water (additional to the chicken broth)

½ cup Cheese (of your choice)

Did you know that Goat cheese contains less lactose than regular cheese, which may make it easier for people to digest if they have sensitivities to dairy. Try Goat Feta (also has less salt than regular feta) or Goat Mozzarella. To prepare:

Preheat oven to 400oF

In a saucepan bring the chicken broth, ½ cup milk

to a low boil.

In a bowl, whisk the flour, and ½ cup milk until it

is a smooth creamy mixture. Add this to the

boiling liquid and set aside.

Grease baking dish.

In a large baking dish, add the sauce from step 3,

1-cup water, quinoa, chicken, mushrooms and

broccoli (cut up small) and garlic. Bake for 30

min.

Check the casserole and stir every 15 minutes

adding additional water if needed. It should be a

creamy consistency.

Once everything is cooked, top with cheese and

bake until cheese is just melted.

Side Dish: Garden Salad

Garden salads are great because you can toss in

whatever vegetables (or fruit, nuts etc) you have

and voila, you have a delicious healthy salad.

What’s not so easy is the dressing as they can

sneak in a lot of unhealthy fats and sugars into

your diet.

mailto:[email protected]


The easiest dressing you could do is oil and

vinegar (as long as the oils are the good kind such

as olive oil). Add any kind of berries for a delicious

taste. The best kind of berries are the ones you’ve

picked yourself…lucky us, it’s berry-picking

season

Ingredients for the salad:

Lettuce, rinsed, dried and cut into bite size pieces

1-2 Carrots, shredded

1-2 beets, shredded

Peppers cut into bite size pieces

Ingredients for the dressing:

1/4 cup Olive Oil

1/8 cup Balsamic Vinegar

Handful of Blackberries (or huckleberries, thimbleberries

– any other kind of berry)

To prepare:

Mash the blackberries in a bowl or cup; add olive oil and

balsamic vinegar. Stir until blended.

Add all salad ingredients to a bowl and top with the

dressing, toss until salad is coated.

Changes & Updates

The Good Food Bag Program

Changes are to help with improving communication and address some of the challenges

that have been experienced to date.

Provide the $10.00 at the time of signing up, no exceptions. This is so we can have all

Good Food Bags financially accounted for before they are ordered.

Sign-up cut off will be the Tuesday (4pm) before the GFB. The order is made Wednesday

morning (see attached Schedule).

Pick-up is at the Elders Building every second Friday before 4pm (unless otherwise

indicated) Doors close at 4.

Unfortunately there is no food storage space therefore if someone does not show up for his

or her GFB it will be sold to someone else. If this happens more than twice you will have

to be taken off the list so we don’t waste food. People not showing up to pick up their

GFB is the #1 challenge – Last GFB Friday, 16 people did not show up, including some

that were spoken to one the phone that Friday.

If you are unsure if you are on the GFB list you can view the list at the Band Office.

Next Good Food Bag sign-up schedule starting August 27, 2014.

If you haven’t already, please pass along your contact information

(cell/home number) and preferred method of contact (i.e. text only, call

after 5pm, leave message etc).

Send to [email protected] or text/call 250-949-0144
