Sagamok-Anishinawbek First Nation is hosting a three-day youth conference at the end of the week.
Youth from the wider communities, aged 11 to 25, have been invited to take part in the free Going M.I.L.E.S conference starting Friday at noon and running until Sunday.
The conference will focus on different aspects of youth empowerment, culture, healthy relationships, and challenges, such as alcohol, drugs, suicide prevention and cyber bullying.
Business and career development will also be the focus on the workshops on Sunday.
There will also be entertainment to lighten the mood with Scott Ward, a hypnotist and Dakota House putting on a show for the entire community on Saturday.
The conference also includes free lunches and dinners, as well as fun activities, games and door prizes.
