George Couchie, 2015 YMCA Peace Medallion recipient, will be the Club's guest speaker.

Retired OPP officer George Couchie of Nipissing First Nation was the 2015 inductee to the Nipissing District Human Rights Hall of Fame.

Couchie retired from the OPP in 2014 after 33 years of policing, with much of that time spent training police officers, teachers, government employees and other professionals about the history of native people in Canada and the effects of residential schools on First Nations communities.

He continues to teach an experiential one-week course on the subject.

His passion for creating brighter futures for Aboriginal youth has been the driving force behind his work for many years, according to a release from the Hall of Fame.

George last visited with the club on February 22, 2016 when his talk was called "Walking the Path".
