TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Feb. 18, 2011) -

Editors note: There is a photo associated with this press release.

Student missing, we ask for your help - Jordan Wabasse has been missing since February 7th, 2011. Jordan has participated in the DAREarts Aboriginal program for three years.

Cathy Elliott, DAREarts Artist As Teacher, has just returned from a week of our program in Sioux Lookout and is also a part of the Webequie team and sends this message:



"I'm no longer going to be patient, or polite. I'm getting past frustrated
for the family and community members who are desperately hoping that Jordan
is alive somewhere. He's a good kid. He likes hockey. He wants to have a
good education. That's why he came south, to have better opportunities. He's
big for his age, and may look older, except when he smiles. Then he's just a
sweet, shy kid. He's good with digital arts. One of his pieces is going to
be in a picture book- a companion piece to a documentary that was shot about
him and his fellow students and their struggles to get past the challenges
they face in a remote community. I'm shouting out these details so that he
has a face for the people in the South who don't know him. If they knew him,
they'd be looking in bus and train stations in Toronto, Winnipeg, Timmins.
They'd be talking about him. They'd be searching in sub zero temperature in
the back alleys, too."
Cathy Elliott, DAREarts aboriginal Artist as Teacher.
