On this episode of the Great Indoors, Matt sits down with guests Elijah LaBillois, a young man from the Ugpi’Ganjig First Nation on the North Shore of New Brunswick, and Gaby Israel, SVP of Customer Business Executive (CBE) at Amdocs. During the episode, Elijah and Gaby discuss the work they are doing with reBOOT Canada, a non-profit organization that provides laptops and technical assistance to the youth of indigenous communities across Canada. Gaby explains why he’s decided to trek to Everest Base Camp later this month to raise funds for reBOOT Canada, discussing some of his past experiences climbing Mount Kilimanjaro as well as his passion for photography. Matt and his guests explore why it’s so important that we bridge the digital divide in indigenous communities, and how organizations like reBOOT Canada are helping to accomplish this task.
