Kennedy Ironstand receives his award!
Written by staff Wednesday, 17 February 2010 14:52
It’s a long way from the Tootinaowaziibeeng First Nation at Shortdale to the Manitoba Legislature, a drive of almost four hours. For Kennedy Ironstand it was a dream come true. Kennedy is the winner of the 2010 Youth Angling Art Competition. On Wednesday February 17th Kennedy received his first place award from the Minister of Water Stewardship Christine Melnick in her office at the Manitoba Legislature. 
It was Erickson art teacher Kim Branconnier that encouraged Kennedy to enter the contest. Branconnier pulled Kennedy away from a school project to enter the contest. Kennedy’s mom Diane who accompanied her son at the award, says her son has been fishing since he was two but his drawing fills up much of his life with folders and folders of artwork. Kennedy is fourteen years of age. His painting will now adorn the front of 50,000 youth angling cards that will be handed out this year to anglers under sixteen years of age in Manitoba
