Yesterday was both a beautiful and busy day in the territory!

Along with attending the Wiikwemkoong Junior School Annual Pow Wow, Ogimaa also attended a remarkable performance by the OPP Golden Helmets in front of the Pontiac School.

The Golden Helmets are a precision motorcycle riding team made up of active front-line OPP officers who travel and perform across the province.

Everyone in attendance enjoyed the show and meeting with the riders after their performance.

The performance was dedicated to PC Marc Hovingh and Sgt. Brandon Malcolm, a Golden Helmets member, both of whom were killed in the line of duty.
