It was a special occasion when Xwisten (Bridge River Band) honoured Gayle Frank at a dinner on Feb. 22.
Frank, who is a member of the Xwisten Band, was recently named First Vice President of the Native Women’s Association of Canada (NWAC). She joined NWAC’s Board of Directors in 2016 and became Secretary in 2017. In January of this year, she became First Vice President.
