12 Rose Street
“The program opened with a prayer from Ernest Beauvais, the elder who had been with the Racette-Hunter working team since it began a year and a half earlier. A temporary stage had been set up on the north end of the green for the speeches. As Ernest approached the microphone and his deep bass rumbled out the prayer he used to start all our meetings, I relaxed. Ernest spoke in Cree, but I knew what he was saying. “Great Spirit – Grant us strength and dignity to walk a new trail.”
Margot was the f...irst speaker, and from the moment she stepped onto the stage holding her freshly bathed nine-month-old daughter, the crowd loved her. She spoke briefly and movingly about our collective responsibility to the next generation and the role Racette-Hunter hoped to play in giving all the children and adults in our city a chance to realize their potential. The audience was rapt.
Then Margot introduced the mayor, and it was immediately clear that something was wrong. Scott Ridgeway always bounded on stage to show that he was pleased as punch to be wherever he happened to be.MoreLess
