This year’s Opaskwayak Indigenous Days (OID) Princess was one who had both talent and a message to deliver.

“I feel really proud to be crowned OID Princess,” said Bignell. “I also feel honoured to be this year’s OID Princess, so I can represent the community as best as I can. “I will speak up for those that can't be active and advocate during bully awareness week. Also, I’ll be available to anyone if they need a friend, for I personally know how the impacts of bullying can affect a person and I never want anyone to experience that."
