Gilles Dauphinais, principal at Sacred
Heart, said Netmaker’s visit to the school
was invaluable. For a community school
where approximately 70 per cent of the
student body is Indigenous, hearing from
someone like Netmaker, who has endured

“A lot of these kids can relate to his personal
story, to his struggles… we talk a lot
about having our kids show grit, resilience,
strength and determination, goal setting.
Those words are all a part of the language
we’re using at the school,” he said.
“Kendal’s message resonated with a lot
of our kids. His story of how he grew up in
a single-parent home, in poverty and overcame
those struggles to find success and to
grow a business aren’t stories our kids hear
all that often. It was important for them to
hear how (Netmaker broke the cycle).”
