Coming Soon - A special issue from NENAS in Fort St. John, BC
No Limits - No Kidding!
We're thrilled to create our first "off-site" RedWAY BC News assignment, showcasing the incredible work of the North East Native Advancing Society - or NENAS by covering their Aboriginal Youth Career Fair. In March 2007 we traveled to Fort St. John with Derek Miller and his band, Eekwol, and War Party to host workshops and learn from community partners about ways Aboriginal Youth are striving to create their own future with "NO LIMITS".
Stay tuned for the launch of this special issue that will:
*highlight success stories of organizations like NENAS
*include interviews and pictures with the incredible Aboriginal performers
*showcase the Rising Spirit Youth Centre initiative
*provide event partners and participants with an opportunity to share their insights
*inspire YOU to share your success stories with our readers Until June - peace in The Peace!
