Poor Len here. The Air Canada Foundation, which supports hundreds of charities across the Great Somewhat-white North, has published an excellent video showing what it's done to help the Breakfast Club of Canada to open two new programmes in Anahim Lake BC.
Anahim Lake is a First Nations (the people we used to call "Indians") community of about 1000 souls. It is also the hometown of Carey Price, the young goaltender who is fast becoming a Montréal Canadiens legend. He is the object of adulation -- hero-worship too -- for the local kids.
One of them, Trent Leon, was chosen as his school's "ambassador", to go to meet Mr. Price at his workplace. Watching what happens when they meet will warm the cockles of your heart. It's good to see the tremendous impact athletes can have on youth, and the way small gestures can mean so very much.
