Youth Conference
In March PAYC and BCAAFC will host the 2nd annual Gathering Our Voices Aboriginal Youth Conference. Gathering our Voices 2006 will focus on Aboriginal Health and Justice
Issues and will feature interactive & informative workshops, career & education fair, cultural teachings/group activities, and due to it's success from last year - Youth Talent
Showcase!
Last year, over 900 youth came together in Vancouver to take part in workshops focusing on Aboriginal health, employment and drug and alcohol prevention, self-expression through
music, and cultural discussions on the importance of language and traditional games. (See: 2005) This year we are working with
partners to bring forward more hands-on workshops and cultural sharing, highlight local talent and enable delegates to share their talents. Health and justice issues range from
nutrition, holistic healing and harmful substance prevention to justice circles, community policing, and recruitment and training. The BC Association of Aboriginal Friendship Centres ,
Provincial Aboriginal Youth Council and Province of BC invite Aboriginal youth (13-24) to take part in a dynamic & educational conference this coming spring break (March 12-15) in
Kamloops – the traditional territory of the Secwepemc people! For more information on the conference, please go to: www.bcaafc.com .
