This year the annual youth symposium will be held in Hopedale.
We spoke with Cassie Jararuse the Regional Youth Services Program Coordinator with Nunatsiavut Government.
Jararuse says this year the symposium will be held on March 7-11 2019.
They have five youth from each of the north coast communities who will be attending and youth from North West River and Happy Valley Goose Bay.
They are currently looking for one youth from the Canadian constituency.
Ages to attend the symposium are 15 to 30 years.
The deadline is today, Wednesday February 27, 2019 at 4:30pm.
Jararuse says this year’s theme will be land base programs and how our culture on the land is the best healing.
