Toni-Lynn Davidson

My name is Toni-Lynn Davidson. I am from Old Massett, Haida Gwaii. Born and raised here. I am the Youth Coordinator at the Gaw Tlagée Youth building. I enjoy this work very much, connecting with the youth of the community every day after school, providing them with after school activities and healthy snacks. A safe space where kids can be kids!

Mike Russ

My name is Mike Russ, I am from Gaw Tlagée Old Massett. I grew up most of my childhood in Kispiox, BC but came back home to graduate. I currently live here in Old Massett and I have had the pleasure of working throughout the community and meeting a lot of great people. I have the pleasure of currently working for our Youth Centre; helping, teaching and giving the kids the opportunity to be somewhere safe and be kids. My role for being a youth worker is to be there, be seen and be a bigger role model for the kids and community.
