ample, Bourque-Bouchier and her
husband are enormous enthusiasts
of youth involvement in sports. See-
ing the positive influence sports
have had on their own children, they
avidly support the minor hockey as-
sociations of Fort McKay and Fort
McMurray.
According to Statistics Canada, the
Aboriginal peoples of Canada are
predicted to account for 4.0 to 5.3
per cent of the population by 2031,
making it one of the fastest grow-
ing groups in the country. With ex-
emplary role models like Bourque-
Bouchier around, the future of First
Nations groups around the country
looks discernibly bright.
“I think the way that business in
Canada is moving is changing tre-
mendously and it’s really nice to be
able to shed positive light on Ab-
original people in Canada and what
the future holds for them,” Bourque-
Bouchier said.
