OTF funding

A major honour for a youth project in the Northern reserve of Kashechewan.  The Kashechewan Youth Video project and Nishnawbe Aski Nation has won the Ontario Trillium Foundation Chair's Award.  The project brought youth and adult allies together to address school drop-out rates, drug and alcohol abuse and a high risk of suicide.  The Trillium Foundation says the initiative has had an expectional impact on the community.
