The Lac La Ronge Indian band's child and family services agency opened its new office building June 8, symbolizing the growth the agency has experienced since being established in 1994.

The Indian Child and Family Services agency (ICFS) was one of the first of its kind in the province, giving the band control over family services for its members.

At first, the agency employed only about a dozen people, mostly concerned with child protection: helping children at risk of neglect, abuse or exploitation.

When either of the McNab twins are trying to make a point, they aren't above getting physical.

Tamara is dangerous because of her speed. An effective leg attack can put the hurt on most any of her opponents. Tyler is intense and tenacious. If you're thinking of crossing him, you better know that he's never given up, even against those bigger and more experienced.

The 14-year-olds are focused, confident, tough-they're wrestlers.
