The Provincial Government is investing in the long term stability of
a Northwestern Ontario Aboriginal Youth Development Program.
$323,000 will be spent on the forestry and firefighting
course offered by Confederation College in Dryden, Upsala and Kapuskasing.
Thunder Bay-Atikokan MPP Bill Mauro says it’s a great way to curb the
out-migration of local youth.

The program also encourages aboriginal students to pursue post-secondary education opportunities.
