Co-presenters Kelly Shaw and Mike Kaminski from Nova Scotia had a true chance
connection made standing out in front of the Delta in Winnipeg. The Honourable Jim
Rondeau, Manitoba Minister of Healthy Living, Youth and Seniors came along. He and
Mike had been teachers together back when and an attempt was made to check
schedules for a real meeting. Kelly did not believe the gentleman was a Minister of the
Crown and was handed a business card in response. The Minister could have been at the
conference as his portfolio has developed unique programs for youth including the Youth
Addictions Stabilization Unit, which includes youth care practitioners on each team.
