If anyone asks young Dylan Carrier-Henry, “What did you do on your summer vacation?” she has an inspiring answer.
The Indigenous 17-year-old, now in Grade 12 in Regina, spent six weeks taking part in Bold Eagle, a culturally sensitive, challenging, confidence-building experience run by the Canadian Armed Forces.
