3	Raymond Mason, KEEWAYWIN Community Liaison Officer, Keewaytinook Mobile Cellular Project Raymond Mason is an excellent role model for finding what you love to do, and applying that to the needs of his community. A personal interest in communication, and the desire to learn new skills, has led him to work with his community to forge ahead in the communication field. Raymond is currently the Community Liaison Officer for the Keewaytinook Mobile Cellular Project. Keewaywin is one of the first two remote northern First Nations to obtain cellular service. Raymond’s position creates community support and awareness as the KM cellular expansion continues in the remote First Nation Communities of Nishnawbe-Aski Nation. His message to the youth was passed down from his Grandfather: “Whatever job you do, you do it well….Do the best in whatever it is you are doing”. Try your best in all aspects of your life.
