The province is bringing a conference that focuses on engaging youth, up to Thompson.
Minister of Children and Youth Opportunities Melanie Wight tells us about Practical Strategies for Engaging Youth and Creating Opportunities:
"It’s our crime prevention conference and after school network event and we’re bringing it North, so we're very excited about that. We have a couple of speakers that we hope people will come out and hear. They're internationally renowned and really exciting".
The keynote speakers are Stephen Leafloor and Larry Brendtro.
The goal is to provide practical takeaways that can be easily applied to youth programs, specifically programs in northern communities.
The conference happens November 24th and 25th.
