The youth of Roseau River Anishinaabe First Nation have a new place to kickflip and grind now that a skate park has opened in the community.
“I feel like this skate park can bring a lot of the community together,” said Chanel Higheagle.
“I’ve already seen the kids — they’ve been encouraging each other to do more tricks. They’ve been helping each other up when they fall. So I hope they continue to do that.”
Higheagle, a Grade 12 student in the community 83 kilometres south of Winnipeg, recently started a summer recreation position with the Manitoba First Nations Police Service.
