THUNDER BAY – Shy-Anne has won the Regionals of the CBC Searchlight Competition. She is now on to the national finals! The iconic singer states, “Thanks to all my fans!!! Your votes have put me #1 for the CBC Searchlight for Voyage North. I hope I do Elder Dave Courchene justice in this as his speech of peace and change inspired the song!”
The song, The Awakening was put together out of the presentation that Elder Dave Courchene made in Ottawa.

Shy-Anne has taken that vision, the speech and the song have gone viral, there are over 178,000 views for the video.
The message of hope has also led to Shy-Anne being the regional winner in the CBC Seachlight for Voyage North.
She is now onto the next level of the contest, and voting starts on March 10th.
Shy-Anne The Awakening – Vision to Speech to Song
[sws_pullquote_right]We are witnessing an awakening that is being influenced by the Spirit and by Nature itself. Nature has been waiting for this moment, for us to come together and become unified, in our unique and distinctive ways, which represent the whole of the human family. When we put ourselves in order, then the universe and the Earth will naturally set things in order. The people are demanding a change. We must seize on this great opportunity for change and for peace, which will be supported by the Spirit and the forces of Nature working in alliance with us. [/sws_pullquote_right]
The message in the vision, the speech and the song is one of coming together. It’s time.
Elder Dave Courchene is a mentor to Shy-Anne. The singer has brought her mentor to Thunder Bay to share with youth at “For the Love of Life”.
On March 20th, Shy-Anne will be heading to The Turtle Lodge, in Manitoba to share and perform.
