Sandy Bay school counsellor Brenda Montgrand wants to start a Gay Straight Alliance after watching students struggle with queer identities.
One of those communities is Sandy Bay, a northern village on the banks of the Churchill River.
Though the school doesn’t yet have a GSA of its own, school counsellor Brenda Montgrand has been taking students to these summits for the last few years, as they explore the possibility of starting one. “They were excited, and a few were saying, ‘Now I know who I am. Now I know where I belong,’ ” Montgrand said.

At least we know they’re safe.
