Cam Prest is easygoing, friendly and positive, which are three things not everyone would be able to exude just two years after losing the use of his legs at 19 years old.

The Indigenous Sport, Physical Activity, and Recreation Council gave two Cariboo athletes a special honor.
Daine Dubois of Williams Lake and Isaac Bedford of 150 Mile House were given the 2020 Premier’s Award for Indigenous Youth Excellence in Sport.
Bedford is 16 years old and is involved with the Cariboo Archers and explained how he was targeted for this award.
“Right after the BC Winter Games there was a whole ton of applications that I filled out and I didn’t realize that this was one of them. It was a really neat thing to see that someone saw what I was doing and it was really encouraging to keep pushing, to keep doing well because it hasn’t been super easy the last year as there haven’t been any tournaments.”
