ROQ Youth Symposium Feb 23-26, 2012 in Ottawa
Come and join us in Ottawa, February 23-26, 2012 for the ROQ Symposium. The Symposium will include inspiring workshops, special speakers and a concert with Fresh I.E. – a Canadian rapper and two-time Grammy Award nominee! All the action will happen in the heart of downtown Ottawa at the National Arts Centre and the Lord Elgin Hotel.
Over the three days, we will talk about the issues our generation is facing and where we can go from here, focusing on the best of what has been, creating the best of what will be. This is not your usual sit-in-your-seat-and-listen kind of conference. Be prepared to participate in small groups and creative activities. It’s going to be fun!
First Nations, Inuit, Métis, and non-Aboriginal young people are all welcome. Bring your friends, and get ready to make new ones!

Government of Canada helps Aboriginal people develop job skills
Kamloops, British Columbia, February 20, 2012—Ms. Cathy McLeod, Member of Parliament for Kamloops–Thompson–Cariboo, today announced a Government of Canada investment that will enable up to 120 Aboriginal people in Kamloops to develop skills that will help them find and keep good jobs. The announcement was made on behalf of the Honourable Diane Finley, Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development.
“Our government’s top priority is job creation and economic growth. In a constantly evolving labour market, it’s important that Canadians get the skills and training they need to succeed,” said Ms. McLeod. “This is why we work with organizations, such as the First Nations Agricultural Association, to ensure Aboriginal people are able to take full advantage of economic opportunities.”
Through the Government of Canada’s Skills and Partnership Fund, the First Nations Agricultural Association is receiving more than $856,000 for its Career in Agriculture and Agri-Foods Industry Program. Read the rest of this entry »
