Position: Director I am from and grew up in Peguis First Nation. My parents are Dolly & Oliver Flett. My partner is Patrick McKay and together we have 4 children. I am a part of the Daycare Team because: I believe early year's child health, safety and development is the most important time in our life. I want to be a part of that time for our community children. Something I would like the community of Peguis to know about me: I am a big believer in "it takes a community to raise a child."
