For 8 weeks, 12 youth from across Winnipeg came to the MERC to participate in our inaugural program, “SNA Youth Lead,” funded by the Canadian Race Relations Fdn / Fondation canadienne des relations raciales.

These 12 youths learned skills to engage in anti-racist strategies within themselves, their peers, as well as their broader communities through group discussions, workshops, and presentations from both SNA staff and guest speakers.

These young leaders ended their last session together not only with new skills and confidence, but importantly, new friendships and lots of laughter.

Thanks to everyone who helped to make this happen!

We're honoured to host this event in memory of Dyrrone! Please share this event with anyone who might be interested, and we look forward to seeing everyone there!

In loving memory of Dyrrone Stone. 🧡

Dyrrone was 15. He was becoming a leader among the other kids, and he loved the game of basketball. His dream was to play for the WarChiefs, an all-Indigenous men’s traveling basketball team one day.

On September 19 we’re filling a gym in his name. 3x3 basketball tournament for youth ages 14-17 years old. Contests, game console and cash prizes, swag bags, food, drinks and haircuts. All free. Just the way Dyrrone would want it.

Huge props to WarChiefs, Amiel Reyes, Next Step Wellness for lending their time and skills to support young people for the day.

Also a massive thank you to The Link: Youth and Family Supports in Manitoba, IRTC, Spence Neighbourhood, 𝐒𝐖𝐀𝐍𝐊 𝐁𝐔𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐒𝐒 𝐒𝐎𝐋𝐔𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒 and someone who asked to stay anonymous. And to the MERC for opening the doors - the gym where Kurius came up, and where Dyrrone came up too.

Play hard. Honour Dyrrone. Build community.

Questions? DM us. Registration link in bio. Closes September 1st so register your team now! 🏀
