Blueprint for Life to receive a $400,000 Grant from the Government

Posted on December 19, 2008

A couple of months ago, I mentioned Arctic Hip Hop, a book about a community outreach program in Northern Canada’s Indigenous regions. The program, Blueprint for Life, has been so well-received by the the community and government that they recently received a a $400,000 grant from them to expand and continue their work. 

Founder and organizer Stephen Leafloor, also known as B-Boy Buddha from Canadian Floor Masters, is doing great things by mixing his passion for breaking and hip-hop with his desire to help people. I’m glad that the government is supporting his work!

Stephen Leafloor, also known as Buddha from Canadian Floor Masters, has been doing social work in the arctic regions of Canada. Specifically, he uses breaking and other elements of hip hop to empower at-risk youth. A new book, Arctic Hip-Hop, has just been published about his work.
