Elected president of the Neeyanan (Ours) Association at Peerless Lake about 12 months ago, John Cardinal says he had to give up a thriving slashing firm to concentrate on local development programs for his community.

At one time his slashing outfit was making $60,000 a year. Now the one-time trapper says he and his family live on welfare, because he decided to "step forwards" and do something for Peerless Lake.

In response to the numerous concerns about our children in the systems of society, I feel I must no longer remain silent to the issues that invade me constantly. I make particular reference to the deaths of our youth while in the care of established and governed institutions, which are legislated to deliver such care.

I myself am a product of the foster care system and was first apprehended by Alberta Social Services in Aug. 1967 at the age of eight and was to go through five more homes by the time I was 15. This included short stays at various youth centers.
