She currently is working on their annual report and providing overall 17 marketing communications consultation. Marilyn has gained further insight into Aboriginal political and social issues through her work with SFNNC.
Marilyn also is the program coordinator for the Diabetes Medicine Bag, a unique educational resource kit for Aboriginal children and their families to raise awareness about and help prevent type 2 diabetes and promote healthy food choices, active living and Aboriginal traditions.

They include creative and culturally sensitive ideas and activities. Marilyn has been responsible for promoting the kits and coordinating their assembly and delivery to First Nations, schools and others across Canada.
