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."
