Inuit Sled Dog International's
Canadian Co-Founder
Receives National Award
Geneviève Montcombroux is to receive the Queen Elizabeth
II Commemorative
Medal, issued to mark the fiftieth anniversary of Her
Majesty's accession
to the throne. She won the award because of her
exceptional contribution
to the community and to Canada through her various
endeavors over the years,
as a dance teacher, author and publisher, as well as her
efforts to preserve
the Canadian Inuit Dog, Canada's only truly indigenous
breed of dog. The
presentation is to be held in the St. Boniface Cultural
Centre, Winnipeg,
Canada on December 1, 2002. In accepting the honor,
Geneviève was
quick to point out that her work with the Inuit Sled Dog
has been made
possible by the continued support and cooperation of other
members of the
Inuit Sled Dog International. "In this respect, the medal
is a form of
recognition of the importance of the work we are doing."
