This week CKDM is celebrating some local people.
Justin Langan is an Honour 150 recipient from Swan River.
"I have such respect for this province and I am proud to come from Swan River and I'm proud to be an Indigenous person. So just to have the recognition of what I do for the community and for my own community, it's very touching to me."
Langan is passionate about fostering pride in the Métis community, especially among young people. He has led several initiatives to heighten political and community engagement among Métis youth:
“I've been on the Northwest Youth Committee with the Northwest Métis Council, there in Dauphin. There, we help raise funds for Métis sport and we also do a lot of fundraisers for youth initiatives. I'm also involved in the Youth Provincial Advisory Committee on the Manitoba Métis Federation, and there we provide funding for community events and, just to help inspire youth.”
Justin is currently attending the University of Manitoba and is studying political studies and film studies.
730 CKDM will be celebrating local people all week.
