In our community, we have a real need for a youth centre. Of course, as soon as you get a facility or a building, then it has to have staff and programming. I guess that's where we are challenged. Some other communities are a bit more fortunate. I can see it, but even when my own kids were growing up, and this would be about 25 years ago, we had a terrific hockey team. Jordin Tootoo came to live with us for a couple of years. My sons were playing with him. It was because some of us parents, mothers and dads, did fundraising. We went to Super Soccer. All the exciting stuff happened. Those things are just no more. It's a big void there right now in the community.
