Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, MACA is getting the information to the communities through our sport and recreation people, but we also have a number of sports activities that are already taking place this year other than this one which helps to bring the word out to communities. For instance we have a program called multi-sports camps, which is presently being undertaken by our partners, the Department of Education, Culture and Employment, Aboriginal Sports Circle and NWT Hockey Association. Under that program, there is approximately $25,000 for an aboriginal hockey camp in Aklavik, Tuktoyaktuk, Deline, Fort Good Hope and Rae in January. Traditional games camps will be held in Fort McPherson February 28th to March 1st and funding support will be provided to camps in 2003, a winter sports camp organized at Yellowknife schools. As well, there is an event at the Education Week launch at the K'alemi Dene School in Ndilo. Everybody is aware of those programs taking place anyway. That's how we are getting the word out. Plus, we are making sure that all the community sports and recreation organizations or the hamlets or the bands will be given the information that this funding is available and these programs are on stream. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
