Justin Rain - Inspiring Youth to pursue their Art!
Actor Justin Rain was in the city Tuesday with the goal of inspiring local youth to pursue their creative expression.
"I really believe we are all artists. Find something that you love to do and do it."
An Aboriginal Youth Leadership Summit was held at
the E.A. Rawlinson Centre on Tuesday, which drew more than 100 youth
from Prince Albert and area.
The event started early with registration starting
at 8 a.m. followed by a breakfast provided by the Prince Albert Métis
Women's Association. Many people with different backgrounds spoke to the
youth including Dr. Sharon Acoose, Dr. Lee Wilson and athlete, Micheal
Linklator.
"We were trying to target a certain group and bring
a positive message to them like furthering your education and empower
them," event co-ordinator Colleen Whitedeer said of the youth at the
summit. "Everybody struggles and it's important for them to know that."

Justin Rain in Star Phoenix
Actor turns struggles into success
When Justin Rain was a teenager he pointed and laughed at the drama kids. But now the actor, who grew up in Prince Albert, has found his creative expression and roles in TV, film and theatre.
Rain has a lead role on the APTN series Blackstone and even had a small part in Twilight: Eclipse, but he had to escape a destructive lifestyle on his way to success.
“In my high school years I was big with partying, doing drugs and getting into trouble. It’s kind of a foggy time in my life. But I kicked a lot of that in Grade 12 and stayed away from the people I needed to in order to kick my habits,” said Rain, who was back in Saskatchewan during the Christmas holidays

Justin Rain Keynote at WAFF
Rain is the Keynote Speaker at the Building Bridges event on Saturday, November 19th at the Garrick Event Centre at 7:00 p.m. that is a part of the film festival. The Building Bridges event is put on through the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Commemoration Initiative that looks at the intergenerational effects of residential school. Rain is there for the entire festival and leaves Winnipeg on Sunday.
"Justin Rain is just a quiet nice young man who seems at times perplexed by the fuss made over his appearance at the 10th anniversary of the Winnipeg Aboriginal Film Festival but he's getting used to it.
"Last year, they had me speak at a couple of schools too and I didn't have a lot of experience speaking in front of large groups," said Rain. "It kind of inspired me to create the artist project I have now - Artist Inside. I feel good being here. I'm a little more confident. I'm not as stage shy."
For anyone living under a rock, Rain has a recurring role in the hugely popular Twilight movie saga.
And he's also made his name working in the Blackstone TV series and starred in "Two Indians Talking" that won the Rogers People’s Choice Award, Most Popular Canadian Film at the Vancouver International Film Festival 2010. However, for Rain its all about focusing on the youth and reaching out to them.
"There's nothing more rewarding than the work I do with the youth. I really love hanging out with the youth and trying to inspire them. Sharing my own personal messages. The things that I overcame when I was their age. The drug addiction, the peer pressure, the bullying. Those are all things that I've experienced," said Rain.
Not bad for a boy of Plains Cree descent who grew up in Saskatchewan."
