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."
