This is my fifth time on retirement, but we were told there's no such thing as retirement in our lifetime because what you learned back there has to be moved forward to the people behind you. I don't use the word “recruitment”. We find other ways.... It's [Witness speaks in Cree] in Cree. Come and sit down. We're going to talk. We're going to share.
Maybe I can do that. At first I said, the gift that you have here is what you're going to be paid. It's going to come back to life. All of that other stuff will come around. It's out there. I've done my soul-searching and I've had an opportunity to go across Canada. Just recently, I'm a member of the K Division in the RCMP. I'm an adviser for the commander who just retired. I just went to his dinner. I was just in Ottawa at the friendship centre, and we had all of the RCMP with the youth here. From that, I'm also building connections. I'm coaching. There are young 19- to 25-year-olds who are in their first and second year of college or university where I go share and say, come on over and do what we're doing.
There are so many opportunities, but they'll come forward. If you start forcing people at home, you won't see them again. You have to have incentive, some feel-good relationship to community within that. They're out there. We just have to do a little bit more door knocking, walking, round dances, powwowing, jigging and karaoke—that's a good one. That's my other job. I karaoke at the senior centre, so everybody gets to sing along with me. I give them shakers, because it's exercise. Anyway, I'm sorry to get carried away. That's another avenue all the same.
