Youth members of the Nishnawbe Aski Nation are getting active kicking off a three day youth conference Friday in Thunder Bay.
Sixty NAN community members between the ages of 18 and 29 are participating in the event. The conference is designed to develop leadership skills that could be brought back to the NAN communities.
The focus is on health and fitness for First Nations youth and 'Get Active' got underway Friday morning at the Travelodge Airlane Hotel. The young people of the Nishnawbe-Aski Nation which covers two-thirds of Ontario, will be attending workshops on recreation, good nutrition, and physical fitness, and then taking what they learn back to their own communities.
The NAN-sponsored conference also features a couple of young keynote speakers from Alberta, and a banquet on Saturday night.
