Aboriginal Outreach Program Launched

Lakehead University and the Royal Bank are teaming up to inspire first nations youth.  They launched their joint "Aboriginal Outreach Program" Thursday at St. Patricks High School.  Spokesperson Beverly Sabourin says it all starts with Aboriginal Discovery Day at the University.  Students from across the region will be invited to tour the Lakehead campus this spring.  Students will also be matched up with aboriginal University students and a representative from the Royal Bank as part of a mentor program.  The program is a one year pilot project running on funds provided by the Royal Bank.
