Youth 1st Lacrosse is an organization that delivers programming to Indigenous communities in Manitoba. MFNSS is in partnership with Youth 1st Lacrosse, bringing Canada’s national summer sport to 10 schools that are part of the school system.
George Saunders Memorial School in York Factory First Nation had over 100 students attend and participate in a recent event. Even though the temperature fell to zero degrees, the children had much fun. Participants learned the “Medicine Game” (the fastest game on two feet), and they didn’t even care about the chill!
We are excited about this partnership and the opportunities it gives to the communities for beloved sport Lacrosse.
