“At their special showcase performance on March 2nd, 2017, the DAREarts Toronto Winter Program delegates from the Rexdale area shared the stage with artist-educator Glenn Marais to sing “Spirit of the North”. This song was composed by the DAREarts youth of Webequie First Nation, a fly-in only community in northern Ontario, alongside Glenn in 2011.

Their song shares their hope, their courage, and their determination to make a difference in the world — words that resonate deeply with all of our youth. This “musical handshake” helps connect our urban youth with our remote Indigenous youth, breaking the boundaries of isolation and letting all of our children know that they all must work hard to achieve their hopes, dreams, and their visions for a better tomorrow.”
