McKay was hired by private security firm GardaWorld to staff the pope\u0027s visits to the community and the Lac Ste. Anne pilgrimage site

Scott Young, GardaWorld vice-president for the Prairie region, said the company has a national strategy that builds relationships with Indigenous communities, trains residents and opens career opportunities for prospective employees. “It felt important to have them involved in that event,” Himmelman said of the Pope’s Maskwacis visit. “It was important to show community members that they are running this event as well — that’s who it was for.”

Preparations for the detail included a two-day training program in the community that gave recruits direction on how to perform access control and screening procedures, which included the use of walkthrough and handheld scanners — a new skill McKay picked up along the way.Article content
