<\/i><\/span><\/i><\/span>2024 Grand Marshal: Charlotte Nolin<\/span><\/i><\/div>

\u201cStands Strong Eagle Woman\u201d Charlotte, a strong and determined Two-Spirit M\u00e9tis woman, has faced numerous challenges throughout her 73 years of life. She endured the hardships of Indian Day Schools and the infamous 60\u2019s Scoop, emerging as a survivor. Overcoming early struggles with addiction to heroin and experiencing violence at the hands of those who exploited her, Charlotte\u2019s resilience shone through. At the age of 21, she even battled with thoughts of suicide, feeling unwanted by the world.<\/p>

In her teenage years, Charlotte attempted to transition at 17, but the harsh reality of Canada\u2019s homophobia and transphobia forced her back into the closet to avoid the threat of death. However, she refused to let these setbacks define her. Charlotte ventured into the construction industry and quickly proved herself as a fast learner, eventually becoming a foreman within three years.<\/p>

At the age of 40, Charlotte embarked on a new career path in social work, finding immense fulfillment in protecting those who couldn\u2019t protect themselves. One particular memory stands out for her \u2013 her instrumental role in reuniting a 5-year-old girl with her relatives in The Pas, Manitoba, after being separated in British Columbia.<\/p>

After enduring two heart attacks within a three-week period in 2020, Charlotte made the decision to retire. Today, she embraces life as her authentic self, having completed her transition in 2017. The turning point came on August 4th, 2015, when she encountered a group of children playing on her way to the corner store. When one of the boys asked if she was a man or a woman, Charlotte confidently responded, \u201cHoney, I may appear masculine on the outside, but inside, I am all woman!\u201d This heartwarming interaction became the highlight of her day, reminding her that if children could accept her for who she truly was, then adults could learn the same lesson.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>

The first of its kind in Manitoba, the PRISM program matches children and youth who identify as 2SLGBTQ+ with an adult mentor who also identifies as 2SLGBTQ+ for a one-on-one mentoring relationship. Through regular outings, the match will foster a friendship that is supportive, empowering and fun.<\/p>

The program has since expanded to include a group mentoring program in which 2SLGBTQ+ youth have a safe and supportive space to discuss and unique experiences queer youth face. Through group activities, facilitated discussions and outings in the community, we have worked to create a comprehensive support system for our gender and sexually diverse youth.<\/p>

Dans son temps libre, elle est membre du cabinet du Parlement jeunesse franco-manitobain, une simulation parlementaire annuelle francophone ayant pour but d\u2019encourager les jeunes \u00e0 d\u00e9velopper un int\u00e9r\u00eat pour le d\u00e9bat et la politique. Elle a \u00e9galement fait partie de l\u2019alliance gais-h\u00e9t\u00e9ros qui a organis\u00e9 le rassemblement I Have to be Me. Janine a r\u00e9cemment particip\u00e9 au festival de films sur les droits de la personne \u00e9labor\u00e9 par l\u2019Association manitobaine des droits et libert\u00e9s, \u00e0 une aventure sur les droits de la personne organis\u00e9 par un club Rotary et \u00e0 l'\u00e9v\u00e9nement It's Ok to Rant, lequel a \u00e9t\u00e9 tenu lors de la Journ\u00e9e internationale de la femme.<\/p>

Janine a eu l'occasion de pr\u00e9senter ses po\u00e8mes lors d'\u00e9v\u00e9nements organis\u00e9s par des conseils scolaires, de conf\u00e9rences visant \u00e0 promouvoir le leadership des jeunes et de la collecte de fonds pour l\u2019alliance gais-h\u00e9t\u00e9ros de l'Universit\u00e9 de Saint-Boniface. Elle est tr\u00e8s honor\u00e9e de repr\u00e9senter la jeunesse au festival de la Fiert\u00e9 de cette ann\u00e9e. La participation des jeunes aux c\u00e9l\u00e9brations de la Fiert\u00e9 est essentielle, car elle nous permet de sensibiliser les gens \u00e0 une histoire qui n'aurait pas \u00e9t\u00e9 racont\u00e9e. En nous rassemblant, nous reconnaissons que, m\u00eame en p\u00e9riode de c\u00e9l\u00e9bration, les jeunes doivent \u00eatre conscients des progr\u00e8s r\u00e9alis\u00e9s et de la responsabilit\u00e9 qui leur incombe pour assurer le progr\u00e8s \u00e0 l'avenir.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
