The upcoming federal election will be discussed Saturday during a special Youth Leadership national broadcast on Bell ExpressVu 962.
The broadcast, which will be anchored from Thunder Bay and Sioux Lookout, is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. Northern Nishnawbe Education Council will sponsor the broadcast.
The NAN leadership will be on air to share information on how the outcome will affect aboriginal people.
“We hope to have candidates whose ridings fall in the NAN territories to outline their parties' platform as it affects First Nation people and issues,” said Barb Carpenter, of Wahsa Distance Education Centre, a program of NNEC, in a release. “Time will be allowed for listeners to phone in and share their views with the listening audience.”
