Need a gift for the skateboarders in your life? They are born from a collaboration between La Vie Skateboards and Akwesasne Skatepark.

They are 3” inches shorter than a traditional board, making it easier for kids to get into skateboarding or enhance their skills. Intentionally left black and white so kids can color how they like.

This is Akwesasne’s awesome skater Melani Arquette.

Available at MCA Economic Development office on Kawehnoke.

$70 each. Cash or etransfer.

Get yours today.

Check out this amazing collaboration between Akwesasne’s Victoria E. Ransom and Cornwall’s Robbie Lariviere! The theme was “empowerment, encouragement and pride”.

“Saia’ta:noron tanon Iesanoronhkhwa” translates to “You are precious and you are loved.”

We are super excited with how it turned out. Nia:wen Victoria and Robbie! You did an outstanding job!

We invite all youth to come over with latex paint or large tip paint markers to come over and color it in!

It’s next to the skatepark and playground on Kawehnoke. Stop in to check it out!
