From manning the wellness booth during the trade show and interacting with over 3,000 visitors to volunteering at the games health station for athletes, College of Nursing staff, faculty, students and alumni were involved throughout the event. "I enjoyed visiting with the athletes, coaches and their families and I found it interesting these young people were so focused on their health, took great pride in their identity and respective communities, and expressed eagerness to learn about Saskatchewan's diverse cultures," said Heather Cote-Soop, the college's Aboriginal nursing advisor.Read more about the experience of the games on the College of Nursing website.
